For the last couple of weeks we have been visited several times by a ginger tom cat that we've never seen before. He mainly hangs out in the garden with our own fur boy, but also does keep trying to get into the house too. Obviously he heads for the dry food we leave out, but I've also had to evict him from the sofas and bedrooms a few times too.
He doesn't seem skinny and looks fit and healthy overall, but he does have a bald patch on the side of his neck. So I'm starting to wonder whether he might actually be a stray or lost/neglected. I'm thinking of trying a paper collar or asking on local facebook page to see if I can find his owner. Any other ideas?
