As Mr Husband were doing our evening run to the supermarket last night we noticed this grey cat crouched at the side of the road. There are a few feral cats in the forest but they stay away from the road. This guy let me pick him up, carry him back to the car and put him in the cat carrier. (We always keep a carrier in the car, just in case.)
He's so thin and his fur is all tangled and matted. He came home with us and ate and let me comb some of the mats out of his fur. I had to cut a few clumps out but he didn't protest at all.
I guess he could be lost, but the stretch of road we found him on runs through the forest and there are no buildings at all nearby. I think he was probably dumped.
He's thrown up once this morning and he has a bit of diarrhea, I guess from not having eaten for so long He's very affectionate and just wants to be held.
Taking him to the vets tomorrow to get him checked over and scanned for a chip. He's been neutered and looks about 1 year old.
Does he look like any particular breed to you?
He's got long legs and a long tail and great big paws. Going to be quite a big cat when he puts some weight on. He's also got really long whiskers and long tufts of fur growing out of his ears.
