What Would You Do?

Well what I'm thinking of doing....my granddaughter lives a couple houses down from them...so I'm going to have her ask them if it's their cat (that way it will sound like a child interested in the cat). If they say no, then I'll proceed to capture and take him to the vet and relocate him to our place. If they say yes, then I'll go to the door and talk with them. I think I'll say something on the order, I've noticed the cat isn't looking too healthy and know of many discounted veternarian's if they're interested. If they're not, than I'll just have to take action upon myself. I can see no harm in getting vet care for the cat if they don't want to do anything about it!

This definitely sounds like the best course of action. I'm sure it will be pretty easy to find out if it is their cat, especially with a cute little girl inquiring. Let us know what happens!! **hugs**

The way I look at it if your neighbors own this poor kitty and it looks that bad, it needs a new home and fast. I would wisk that kitty away to the vet and take it home. It is sweet that it waits for you, and it probably wishes it had a happy home =^..^=.

K & L ,

Just wondering if the people have been approached
yet about the cat ? How is it doing? Thanks. Liz.

We tried this evening, but no one was there (including the cat). But we left him/her some food.

***UPDATE***

Drove by the house where we've been feeding the cat this evening and the owners just happened to be outside. We pulled up, and with the coaxing of my husband, we both went and inquired about the cat. Supposedly he's 20 years old and healthy. They said he's very thin and they've had him to the vet, but all tests were OK...so that will be one less worry now.

I told them we rescued stray cats and noticed this one wandering around and wanted to make sure he had a home. They didn't seem too upset, but were almost apologetic about his appearance. Said their son brushes him, and lets him come in and out of the house. I still feel questionable since he does look so bad, but will assume they're telling it like it is. I'm glad my husband shoved me out the door to ask! haha

Well, if he's 20 years old, that answers a lot of questions, doesn't it? I'm glad you feel better. And if you feel better, we will too!!

What a champion you and your husband are for all of these cats!!

Yes, it does explain some things. I just wonder why a 20 year old cat is wandering the streets, sleeping out in the cold, and always waiting for us to feed him. Oh well, we did our best. We will keep checking on him and stop by and give him a pet now and then.
