Looks like my little fren has been in a fight; *update*; 6/28; post #36

She came back again just a few minutes ago. No thunderstorm this time. She rolled over and I gave her a belly rub and I felt a lump, probably a lipoma from being spayed. I know, I said I thought she was a boy but she's a girl. It's so hard to tell unless I see all the equipment! She's such a sweetie and I worry about her walking onto my neighbor's property, you know, Mr. Cat Kicker. I just know he's going to come over here and ask if she's one of mine even though I've told him repeatedly that all my cats are indoors. As a matter of fact, I heard my doorbell ring while I was showering today but there was no note so maybe it was him.

She's learned to come around in the evening and I heard Boo yowling, so I looked out the patio door and, sho nuf, there she was. I put food and water out as usual and when she rubbed up against the patio table, I noticed a spot on her neck. At first I thought it was a warble but it's scabbed over. I swear, it wasn't there yesterday or, if it was, her fur covered it because I petted her up, down and all around and saw/felt nothing then. Sigh. I have Boo's appt. tomorrow and he has to come first. If I see that she has more marks on her next time, I'll take her to my local vet rather than drive all the way to Dr. Lee's. The little tiger kitty came around last night, too, but s/he took off as soon as I walked outside. I can't stand to hear Tuxie cry. It sounds so pathetic and I can tell how badly she wants to come indoors w/the Fur Posse. It's as though she's saying "I've heard about this place and I know it's hard to get in but it's possible because I see more of my kind in there!" Boo really carries on but maybe it's because his RB sister Peeka was a tuxie and this one reminds him of Peekie.

I hope she is ok! Poor baby, probably getting picked on being outside. I feel so bad for the outside kitties... lol that is how mom and I ended up with 6 kitties that lived in our garage when I was a teenager... we couldn't bring them in, but it was better than them being outside.

Good luck with Tuxie.

Poor little Tuxie!

Can she be taken to a Humane Society/SPCA?

Can she be taken to a Humane Society/SPCA?

Probably, but before I would do that, I'd have to make an effort to see if she belongs to anyone in the neighborhood. I'd rather take her to my vet and have her checked out. I don't think I'd take her to the HS anyhow. Cats are stacked in cages to the ceiling (no exaggeration) and URI's are a real problem.
