Please pray for the little outdoor tuxie

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?

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

I wish I were your neighbor, between the two of us we might equal
1 healthy younger person. I realise that makes no sense, but anyhoo.

One time I think you mentioned a nearby woman who was helping to
feed outside cats. Do you think she could help lookout for Mike?

It kind of does make sense to me!!!

That lady moved right after I moved winnie and Angel inside. I sure wish she was still here. I never knew her last name so can't even call her.

I wonder if someone at the vet office would know where your former neighbour is.

When is that no-kill shelter supposed to be built in your area?

{{{hugs}}}

Don't know if it's worth asking any of your new neighbours to help... *sigh*

The vet wouldn't know who they are since I don't know. We have several vets in town and I wouldn't know if they ever took their cats to a vet or which one.

They are working on the no kill shelter but it won't be done until the end of the year or first of next year.

Nope, no help from those neighbors.

Mike came by last night but didn't want to eat. I took him some cat tuna finally and he ate a nibble or two.

When I got home from running errands this morning, he was under my old car. He came to the porch but again didn't want to eat. I managed to stick his nose into some wet food and he ate a couple of bites then left again.

I'm really worried about him. The last time he ate good was Sunday morning unless he is getting food somewhere else. He looks thinner but won't let me pick him up so I can't tell if he has lost weight. He just looks sad. He was always such a happy cat before that family and the monster dog moved in. (and the noisy kids too) sigh

No use calling animal control. Their solution would be to shoot him. That's what they wanted to do to another cat I was trying to get help for years and years ago at my old home.
