There's this dear little plump tabby girl that hangs around my condo building. She arrived several months ago - VERY sweet, and friendly - comes up to you meowing, and rubs against your legs, and LOVES to be held and kneads and purrs!
I thought she had a home, in the nearby trailer park perhaps, as she seems well fed and she is not around in really cold weather.
No collar.
Anyway, my downstairs neighbour knocked on my door, with kitty in a carrier, just to see if maybe I had lost a cat. She was on her way to the vet, with a "lost kitty". I let kitty out, assured my neighbour she was just friendly, and was obviously fed. I cut a small mat out of her neck fur(during which she shoved her cheek into my hands, purring), and we let her out again.
Saw her today - and she was all friendly and everything - but something looked wrong. I picked her up, and while she was cuddling and being cute, I noticed her WHOLE CHIN was pink skin! No obvious inflammation, something that looked like a grey scar...and she was scratching a bit under her neck, but nothing horrible.
I set her down again. A friend of mine is over here shortly, and loves cats. I am fine with taking kitty to the vet, but I can't keep her here while she heals.
Stray or neglected house cat??? What would you do? Make her "disappear"?
Thanks!
