Just wanted to share a couple of pics of Lester (at least that's his name for now), a kitty I've been feeding in my neighborhood for two years. Trapped him early on and took him to the local spay/neuter clinic. The clinic deemed him feral, hence the eartip, but in talking to neighbors have found out he's a very scared abandoned pet. Until recently, Lester has wanted nothing to do with me. He came to eat most mornings and evenings, then left. Within the past couple of weeks he's started talking to me, coming closer, sniffing my hand and letting me pet him a bit. This week I heard him purr for the first time. He's still pretty jumpy, though, so will continue to work to earn his trust. A vet visit to get his shots updated is also in order. When/if he's ready, he can come inside and we'll go from there. These aren't the greatest pics, but you get the idea. He's a sweetie.

Aww, what a sweet, handsome kitty! It's so good of you to work with him to earn his trust so you can better care for him. Poor baby just needs a whole bunch of love.

What a handsome boy! Good for you for caring and I hope he comes in soon. I always tend to worry about the feral/lost/abandoned black kitties around Halloween...
