Suprisingly he is neutered, and there is some degree of care for him, just not what I consider that a pet should have.

I am a little reluctant to go over there, as I had the neighbours from hell last year, and they are really good that way, I don't want to be considered an interfering busy body, but I will keep an eye on Spartacus.

I sure hope she does not just up and leave him, I guess she did not really want a cat, and was doing a favour for a so called friend, but if I get a chance to talk again, I will ask her intentions, and suggest the Cats league to her if she does not want to take him with her, I don't think she would dump him, but you never really know.

I am not certain if he is groomed, she did mention she takes him to the vet because he gets in cat fights, etc, but it is hard to tell, he looks ok from a distance, and I have never seen him up close.
