this chap is for the chop tomorrow

[Gatekeeper]

Stray entire tom has been visiting for three months and has taken up residence in our wood store much to the disgust of Sherlock. He was heartbreakingly skeletal and very frightened and young but we have fed and wormed him until he has blossomed.
Trap borrowed from CPL and vet booked so this time tomorrow Nobby's Nuts will be a memory

And I've just read the full thread and seen that op went well and he's recovering nicely.

What a lovely thing to do op, he looks like a happy cat.

I'll confess that I felt a little quiver when I saw the post title.

What a lovely boy

Really kind of you to look after him and bring him on.

I'm wondering if he'd be happier in a home of his own if he's friendly and would be in like a shot if it wasn't for your own cat? Some rescues would be willing to find a home for him while he stays with you in the meantime. I think this would be the kindest option if he enjoys human company. I'm sure his winter shelter would be lovely but not quite the same as a home of his own.

I'd be chuffed if my cat had the biggest balls the vet had ever seen. They must see a lot of kitty balls.
