A long sob story
1. There is a stray tabby female who has warmed up to hubby and I. Getting fed, exploring our porch. Making moves to walk under our feet to enter our house. Our resident and stray nose knock, play respectfully ,& share food. Hubby has expressed: no longer wanting any cats in the house. Patio only. He feeds them both on the front porch and talks briefly. He has all the usual excuses ppl who turn cats out use when cat is not longer wanted. He has changed. I always had cats. I can handle
ya'lls real reaction. No problem.
2. My question is what is the best way to proceed with the stray.
. Our resident got off the porch and claimed this street. The roaming cats left. But, I worried and now leash him on the front porch for short scenic time. He has his freedom space on the back patio with supervision.It works well.
We live between a feral community caretaker on one corner and a busy street full of ferels on the opposite corner of our street.
Today tabby visit with me and resident kitty, but leaves to scuffle with roaming street cats who want to claim her street.
yesterday she came -tired ,Head drooping, dozing yet tense while perched. She stays high on building entrances, pounces and attacks as needed.
My heart just bleeds. I believe her kitten came to its demise. As it has disappeared and believe me ppl here do no shelters, take kitten or cats inside homes. This poverty stricken county can not hardly care for another human being . Least a cat. We have no general animal shelters, no low cost vets. There are random care givers as I mentioned before. The cats are not harmed, most appear strong, healthy & some are exquisite , but everywhere. Every open restaurant has a stray- beggin' or resident cat around for scraps.
I would pay reg. Vet. for her. It is just she will have to return to the streets after Spay.
I thank every blogger who shares their story about the ferels cat. I didn't know how they felt as I read their stories. Now, it has happened to me !! Really, a great platform for ppl. involved with cats.
