The momma cat showed up

[jazzcat]

What do you mean the vet tipped her ear?

Since she was feral the vet cut off the tip of her ear so if anyone else trapped her they would know she is spayed. Some vets cut a V-shaped notch in the tip of the ear and some cut the tip off, like mine did. If you ever see a cat with that you'll know it has been either spayed or neutered.

Did I make sense?

She looks very well taken care of! Wow!

I knew about the tipping, but I didn't know about the notching. Hmmm... will have to keep an eye out for that one as well.

I have a very handsome tuxie who has been visiting my porch and YOWLING at the top of his lungs the past week. I can't get near him either. I feed him, and he loves canned food, so I'm hoping to gain his trust. It's just too busy of a street/area for him to be wandering. His white boots are all gray, I just want to take him inside and get him all clean looking . There was an orangie coming around too, but I haven't seen him in a few months. I had been putting clavamox in his wet food cause he had runny eyes. He would scarf down the wet food, so at least he was getting the meds regularly. He did let me pet him, and he'd roll at my feet, but he wouldn't let me pick him up. I hope he's ok and that someone took him in for the winter.

She's a pretty momma cat. I bet it made you happy to see her doing so well.

Perfect sense. Thank you.
