I'm so sorry that it ended that way for the poor feral kitty. Thank you for doing what you could to make things better for him.
With regard to the proportion of head to body - our crew's dad, the feral tom that we used to have hanging around, did look as though his head was bigger than an average cat. He was quite a big cat, but had absolutely no fat on him, so his head did look quite large in proportion to his rangey body. He was also an entire tom, and I have read that with some breeds of cat they develop a full face and fluffy cheeks only if they are not neutered before about two years old. So that may also be a contributing factor.
I have found this to be true as well. In fact, there was one male feral that I called Old Tom and the above description fit him to a T.
Blessings, Mary
