Seething quietly
Maybe not the right forum as he is neither a stray nor a feral but...
I put his story when I first joined; a stinky aggressive tom who used to live here, owned by a man a mile away . Aggressive to my cats, noisy, etc etc etrc, Medusa glares.
He had been quiet lately then started howling again. Yesterday I thought it sounded different so went to the door and he was in the doorway of the ruined shed opposite. I spoke quietly and he stayed, No glare, just watched, And I realised he was hungry, very hungry and was limping. ( He may have got a cut paw on the broken window form Storm Erik) . I was holding an open tin of cat food so I tossed a few chunks not wanting to scare him, and he came and ate fast, so I made a feed with cat food and a raw egg and left him eating quietly, neared to me than he has ever been
So although I spoke of HOUSE FULL, .. there are no words to express how I feel re the neighbour who supposedly owns him. And no one will know. Just he will be fed now. Every time he comes, food. Honoured that he came to me at need..
He is very very welcome here now.
Just an Irish farm cat. Little more than the vermin they are expected to clear. And this is the hardest time of year
Nothing I can do re his paw,. Raining hard so walking through wet grass will clean it. He must be getting on in years.
