I go for walks around my neighborhood to get some exercise and I always walk by a certin group of homes and a very small/very skinny/friendly cat always pops out looking for some affection.
At first I just pet the cat until he started to get skinnier and skinnier. I then fed him small pieces of chicken everytime I walked by but recently he seems to be getting sick. Last week he seemed to have injured his leg somehow as he was sitting on the side of the road when I walking by he tryed to get up and had trouble standing and fell down on his head/back, he got up and seemed eager to be fed the chicken. After that incident he seemed to be more energetic the following days[still had a slight limp though] until today, he saw me coming up the street and seemed to be very weak to the point he had trouble standing and had to sit. Taking a further look there was some puss or some kind of fluid around his eyes. I wiped the puss off, he ate the chicken I gave him, after some thought his condition worried me so I came looking for some advice.
Any help would be appreciated.
PS- This cat is very skinny especially around his hips by his back legs. I pretty sure he is owned by a elderly couple in one of the said homes. I noticed yesterday someone put a cup of milk and water by the place I usually see him[which is 2 doors down from his home]. His body/chest vibrates quite a bit when picking him up.
