Please pray for the little outdoor tuxie

[Soapets]

Poor little guy! I'll add him and you to my prayers, too! And I'm going to the Cat Memorial Section to catch up on what happened to Ike....I just HATE when things turn out that way for these precious babies! WHY do people have to be so irresponsible and neglectful so that these situations can even develop? Mike is lucky to have you, and he knows it! Keep up the good work with him!

Oh God.. I'm so sorry about this. Prayers for the little guy and you too, moff. I hate so many people.

Was he on your back porch? You don't think the kids injured him
somehow do you? Can you leave a cardboard box out on the porch where
he can hide overnight?

[mrspunkysmom]

Oh dear. I hope he feels better soon and isn't so scared. Perhaps make him a cat cave on the porch?

Bless you for caring for him.

It's almost 8 pm here now and no sign of him. Of couse, it's been awfully noisy here again. Apparently the kid with the 4 wheeler lives at that house. He is still reving it up and riding it even though it's dark outside. It has lights on it. The family has been partying all afternoon and I'm super grouchy. I can only imagine how Mike feels.

Their dumb dogs have been coming over and eating the cats food for a while now. I have been having to track their bowls down in the yard almost every day. Today I met the dogs. One is a gigantic boxerdog type. The other a white dog about medium height. It's the bulldog who comes on the porch. It acts friendly but I'm not going to leave food out just so that monster can eat.

When I get up for potty runs in the night, I'll check the porch and see if Mike is there. If I wake up the entire neighborhood, too darn bad!!! Maybe if the new neighbors get tired enough, they will go to bed so I can get some peace.

Do your new neighbors rent or own? Are you city or county or rural? There must be leash laws. And noise ordinances. Call the police or sheriff and get the info.

Is that bush that Mike likes in your yard?

[jennielynn1970]

Isn't there anywhere inside you could put him to keep him safe until you could find him a home??? The tale of this poor little guy is just making me so sad. I wish I lived closer, I'd take him in myself.

Mike showed up at 9 pm last night. He acted a bit better in that he wasn't as frightened. He only ate about 2 bites then left again. I stayed on the porch with him trying to make him feel safe to eat. He wasn't here this morning.

The neighbor's big boxer was though. She had carried their food bowls off the porch again. She got me trapped on the porch. She wasn't trying to hurt me, she was wanted petted. I couldn't get her to leave. He owner finally came and got her and put her in the house. She could have knocked me over just by turning around. I'm afraid he may be mean to her. When he yelled at her, she crouched down and wet on my porch. sigh

We do have leash laws here but we have a kill shelter. If the dog catcher took her she wouldn't last long. Besides, there are two kids in the family. I wouldn't want to have their dog taken away. She might not have a great life but it's better than no life.

I have no place inside where I could put Mike. He would be probably more terrified in the house than he is outside any way. He would have to face 7 unknown cats. I can't allow cats in the bathroom anymore since Frankie tore my shower curtain down and I can't get it back up.

When I tried to put Mike in the shed once, he got his claws into me. I still have a scar from that. sigh
