The other morning I heard a kitten crying outside. When I went to look, I found a kitten that looks to be about 4 months old. He was very friendly and followed me as I went door to door looking for an owner. He repeatedly tried running into my house and clawed at the door crying. He is lean, but not too skinny, clean, and not injured. I left for school and 8 hours later came back to him sitting in my backyard. I want to think he is someone's outdoor pet, but he is so desperate to get into my home? No collar and I don't feel a chip, not nuetered. I fed him (before I read you shouldn't do this with possible outdoor pets) and he was RAVENOUS! Is this a growing kitten or a hungry stray? The first time he came back was before I gave him any food so I am not sure why he would still be hanging around. I've lived in this neighborhood my whole life and am very familiar with the usual cats that prowl around, but I have never seen this kitten before. I gave him water in a dish and he was completely confused as though he has never had water in a bowl. I'm going to put a note with my number on it and see if I get a call, in the meantime and in case no one calls: do you think he is a stray?
