How can I tell...

post #1 of 5
Thread Starter 
I'm torn right now.

Ginger Tom has been coming around every day since I first saw him whenever I'm outside. TOday he helped me collect my recycling from the curb, put new recycling out and clean out my car. No one seems to know who he belongs to, but everyone assumes he belongs to someone because of the collar. I see him outside at all hours of the day either with me or with the neighbours across the street, who thought he was mine. If I have anything to give him, he inhales it like a last meal.

In my first thread about him, mrblanche brought up a good point: how can I make sure he's not been dumped or left behind? Any ideas?

He does seem friendly and well-groomed and has a collar and a flea collar. Both seem pretty worn, but then I can't imagine collars on outdoor cats look new for very long anyway, so he just might be coming to hang out and check on me.

Thoughts?

You can certainly try sticking a note on him, or simply walk up and down the street asking - he'll probably accompany you so it would be easy to point down and ask "is this your cat?"

I wonder, though, if somehow he's really supposed to be with you.

If this was me I would have already taken the flea collar off. (No cat has ever left my house wearing one)

Put a note on his collar. If I do not hear from anyone in a day or so he would be off to the vet and end up living with me.

Maybe take him in and post "Found Cat" ads both online and around your neighbourhood and see if anyone replies? Sounds to me like the baby would be better off with you anyway.
