My husband and I were driving home this evening when we spotted a black fur ball at the side of the road. We saw it was what we thought was a kitten and pulled over. We were in a very rural area, no houses at all around. By the time we got out of the car the kitty had disappeared. We got a can of cat food that we carry, out of the trunk of the car and began searching. We heard the meowing and found this large tailess black cat hidden in the reeds across a ditch. When he got a whiff of the cat food he came out of the bushes and began gulping down the food. We finally put a blanket over him and brought him the ten miles to home. Now what? We have two other cats that are not too happy but seem to be tolerating. The new boy is under the bed and can be coaxed out with more food (he ate two cans and science diet dry and I'm still not sure he's full).
I know he'll need to go to the vet. In the meantime, do I let him outside if he wants to go? My other kitties come in and out at will. Do you think he would stick around for food if he gets outside? If anyone has advice, please advise...thanks.
