Or am I being taken for a mug??
This gorgeous cat has been hanging around for a while. His head is a blur in the pic tucking into some scran. NDN was spooked one night calling it in thinking it was one of hers, but it isn't, just looks similar. Quite a few cats round here so we thought nothing else of it. He has been lurking about our patio doors a lot over the last couple days and has braved the wrath of our 2 resident pusses by coming into our kitchen a few times. Our 2 hiss and growl a little but not loads. I shoo it out.
Tonight while I was sitting on the back step with wine it came closer so I offered it some Dreamies which were of course snaffled rapidly. I gave him some water and the leg-ends of an Iams pack (which our 2 normally turn their noises up at) and he ate voraciously. He seems quite skinny. I thought he was a she at first as quite petite, but he has definite balls. I have put a cat bed, food and water in the shed and propped the door open but he just followed me back to the house (very long thin garden) and he is now serenading me asking to come in.
Should I try to take him to the vets to check for a chip tomorrow? I hope I'm not cat-napping him. My male cat is a bit of a chancer and has been known to saunter into NDN's house and sleep on their settee (they have 2 cats and 2 dogs [idiot cat emoticon]). My instinct says this cat has been abandoned... But he could have a loving owner 2 streets away!
