Please pray for the little outdoor tuxie

[momcat]

I'm very concerned about what this poor little guy might have been through, from what you said it doesn't sound good. I kind of wonder if something in that yard injured him or made him sick. Please be assured that prayers are being prayed for both of you. As you can, please let us know how he's doing?

I just went out to see if I could see him. I think he must have crawled under the house. There is one corner of the foundation that there is a big square hole. That's where they used to stay during storms when they were little.

I was always afraid they would drink some putrid water or something over there when they were babies. I keep fresh water out all the time for them here but maybe he couldn't get to it or something. Then there are always snakes. I've seen shedded snake skins around in the spring.

Prayers for this dear little baby and for you too, that you are able to get him to a vet and the vet will be able to help him get better.

Is this Frankie's brother? Prayers that you can catch him this evening
with food. Sounds like he has a ear infection.

I believe the momma cat usually chases away the male kittens once they
reach a certain age.

Yes, he is Frankie's brother. I saw him under one of the porch steps at that house a bit ago. I went and bribed him out with food. I was able to get him, thinking I could put him in my shed for a bit and call the vet.

Got to the shed door but when I opened it, he got so terrified he fought me and got away. I did notice as I watched him bound through the tall grass that he was running pretty darn fast for a sick kitty and he was not falling over, plus he was still holding his head to the side. I'm thinking it's an ear infection or ear mites. The last few nights have been down in the 50s with lots of dew making it cold and wet out.

Now he probably won't trust me even to bring him food. sigh

Liz, I did wonder about the mom cat chasing the males off too but she doesn't do that to the orangie. Since they are the same age, I'd think she would chase them both off.

Well, I'll see if I can get some food in him tonight and see what tomorrow brings. I can't help a cat who refuses to let me.

We are praying for that Little Tuxedo, that you can find him, and get him a better life
We luckily were able to help Tubster Panther, Scrappy Two and Josephine Moosie Spunkette , but sadly there are Porch Cats who are just memories
WE are sending all Our Pryers for that Poor Lost Cat

Well, the good news is I've managed to get food into him and he seems better today. He also can walk without falling over if he's careful. He still holds his head to the side but not as badly as he did yesterday and I saw him scrathing that ear this morning. I'm betting he has ear mites or and ear infection.

He's back at the old house next door. The bad news is he won't let me come very close to him. I can put food down for him and he will come and eat only if I step back out of arms reach.

Still keeping him fed and getting him strong is very important. Thank you for all the prayers and well wishes. Please keep them coming.
