Well through that marvelous and always active grapevine, I likely have a home for the kitty. Indoor only, and this woman had a Persian for 17 years so knows what she's getting into as far as upkeep on this kitties coat. Kitty's going to the vets, and then the groomer either tomorrow, or Friday for a probable shave down. I took a bunch of pics, but you can't really tell how badly matted her/his coat is, as it's mostly the undercoat that's like felt. I do have one picture where my fingers have vanished under the enormous neck mat! I tried working on that one a bit last night, but it's so huge, and tight to the skin, I don't want to risk injuring the cat. Still have no idea if it's a male or female even though I did try to look. I have a friend who works in that area, and Cindy went and scoped out the area late last night, but saw no other cats, but is leaving food for the others. It may take a while for "Operation Catnap" to resume, as I would prefer no altercations. Pictures hopefully up tomorrow.
