I am seriously thinking about keeping the stray orange cat I found outside.

He is so sweet but still is underweight,I am starting to get him fatten
up again.
So if anyone finds a stray cat who is underweight,just make sure you fed him/her dry food mixed with wet food. It makes them start getting more fuller.

I think also Tabby might be a good name for him
,that is what I have been calling him.
He is getting a little better,but I am still taking him to the vet.

well catch you later all,god bless

I have heard that orange cats are the nicest. I know my Garfield is just adorable, and so friendly. Be sure to take him to the vet before you integrate him with your kitties, in case he has something contagious. Lucky kitty to find a loving home!

Underweight cats should go to the vet first. Underweight can mean worms or other diseases and should be checked out. Thanks for taking care of yet another lost soul on the street.

I will try to take him to vet when I can afford to.
I have not had the money yet,I am trying to get the funds up for him.
I do not want him sick like this,I hate seeing him sick makes me cry.
well I must go for now,and thanks for your advice I will try to see what I can do until then. I do get a check on the first. so maybe I will have a little extra after I pay the morgage.

anyway thanks for your kindness,and your time for reading my postings

That's great to hear! Try to find a low-cost clinic to take him to when you have the money. A local TNR group helped us with our stray boys for what we could afford to pay, and we'll give them more money as we can.
Orange tom cats are so sweet, in my experience- we have 2, and 2 butterscotch brothers, (all rescues) and they are just a bunch of sweet boys who get along with everyone. Good luck, God bless and keep us posted about Tabby.
