Since it snowed for the first time tonight, we finally decided to put out a box with a warm blanket in it and a bowl of food for the orange tabby tom (we think it's a he anyway) that's been coming around our house for a long time. He always goes up to our sliding glass door which drives my inside tom absolutely nuts, so we figured we might as well give him some shelter. We don't know if he has a home or not, and I just don't want him to freeze to death because we did nothing. I hope he'll eventually trust us or his owners (if he has a family) will get smart and bring him inside for the long cold winter ahead.
He seems relatively comfortable with people, although he runs from us, but what animal won't run from a person they don't know? He'll sit in the yard when the dogs go out to go potty, but we can't get within 15 feet of him. I hope he'll make it through the winter.
