Well my apartment has recently been taken over by three ferals, though I've only managed to get a photo of one of them. Two were dropped off here by a women. Yep the lady just drove her car up here and threw them out the window. So, now I am caring for them. One is a very beautiful semi-long coated grey and white cat. I am unsure if it is male or female, as I have not had a good look at the rear end yet. You can tell they once were loved, as there is still a little speck of hope in their eyes. So far, the only one I have been able to photograph is the grey and white one. It is so petite. There is also a siamese type one, looks just like a purebred siamese except with a dark circle on the side of it's body. The siamese seems much more skittish and thinner than the grey one, but I am working on getting her to come to me when I have food out. Then another just showed up last night, a black cat. I do not know exactly if this one is a stray, so I will have to ask around before I start caring for this one.
The first thing I do is check the paper. I actually thought I had found the home for the grey and white one, just maybe it was a cat someone found that they didn't want and that it possibly had an owner. I checked the paper and found a description similar so I called the lady and emailed her a picture. She said that if the cat was hers she would call back, but I didn't hear anything from her. :( I always like to think that maybe there is someone out there looking for them and missing them, but the reality is, most likely there is not. :(
I will have to tell you a story about a lady who lost a siamese. I called because again the siamese cat and I thought it might be hers as her neighbord traps cats. But I will have to write more about that later on so I can get these photos posted and make the bananna smoothie I've not had time to make all week due to a very hectic work shedule and several sick pets to care for. :(
What do you think? Male of female? Sorry about the messiness in the background, but the football players lived next door and they weren't exactly the cleanest neighbors. ;) Isn't she a doll?! :D I have named her Lucky, after an old cat of mine. :) If I can get her into the vet and tamed I am pretty sure her home here will be permanent. Also, sorry for the photo quality but my camera does not take good pictures outside.

Obviously hungry. She/he was eating the can of Friskees I put out and some dry food and water. 3 minutes later it was all gone!

Right outside my porch. I actually got her to come closer the last time.
