My partner and I found a cat meowing (almost like he was scared or in pain) super loud under a car, it was so loud we heard it from the end of the road. I panicked and thought maybe it was a injured cat but he looked fine, just a little skinny. I want to know if he would be feral or not, he seems way too friendly but does not have a collar (read more for details), if he is feral, my partner and I would like to take him to the vet to have a check up and ask for advice since my landlord does not allow pets.
The cat won’t stop following me and would be rubbing himself at my feet while we walk. He hangs around the neighborhood so I thought he might have an owner but it looks so scared and anxious of its surroundings, also with that loud, painful sounding meows, I’d assume the owner would run out to see what’s going on, because I could hear it far away let alone the cat meowing in-front of a house under a car. I then noticed a big and fatter cat come up to the cat and the poor guy panicked and ran to a bush, the fat cat then ran into the bush and beat him up. From that we assumed the cat was being bullied by bigger cats and have no where to go since it’s being locked outside, resorted to seeking shelter under cars and humans for protection.
I went to the store to get cat food and some ice cream for myself (30mins-1hour), came back and he was still in the same area. He recognized us and devoured the food in 3 minutes, I’m not experienced with cats so I wasn’t sure if it just loves food or he wasn’t fed properly.
Any advice for what to do would help greatly, I will be visiting the cat daily with water and food (just in case).
