I was going to ask you if it was cold there. That's why I suggested a box. My sister makes them out of large plastic storage containers for stray cats where she lives. I would put out some food...but you know it will come back for more. Do you have a cat in your place right now that it is perhaps smelling?Do you think the cat is cold? He seemed to have slept on my chair with no covering all right. Should I give him/her some food?
