This morning M'Lady comes in and tells me she just saw a small, skinny, scrawny gray cat in the enclosed portion of the lanai eating out of our cats' bowls. It sure sounds like a feral or dumped cat. Both are very common around here.
The gutless wonders of the world would rather dump them to starve or worse, rather than taking them to the pound where they might at least have a chance of being adopted.
Anyway, off my soapbox.
I cannot justify taking in another cat. We are not an animal shelter. Two is our limit. If it shows up again we will continue to feed it to make it comfortable with being here. Then I'll get a cat trap from the pound, trap it and deliver it to them.
I do feel a bit guilty about my attitude, but it's better than any other alternative open to us.
