Boy oh boy, I just had a new stray come up to the house.I think he may have just been dumped from the way he came up and wasn't afraid of me, but was afraid of my other cats.
I quickly thought of Crys12065 and her Sebastion and Theo because my Little Bit came up and sniffed at the new stray and when the stray stopped eating long enough to realize there was a cat there he layed down and started screaming. (It's the first time I've ever heard a cat scream.)
Anyway, the little guy was wolfing his food like he had not eaten in days. I petted and talked to him to slow him down a bit so he wouldn't make himself sick. After he cleaned up his food I took him in to the kitty playpen in the living room where he can safely while away his time till I can see about getting him fixed and maybe placed.
Of course a stray would come up because I have my sights set on two adorable little kittens from the shelter I want to get. I am thinking that with all the grown cats I have here that a kitten will fit in with the group more easily.
The stray is a cute little boy and very loving to people so maybe he won't be to difficult to place. I'll have to strt making the calls tomorrow and see what I can do.
I had to totally wrap blankets and a towel around three sides of the cage so my cats can't look at him because when he sees any of them looking at him he screams. One side has to be covered so he doesn't have the air conditioning directly on him anyway and the other I generally cover for a little privacy and to keep the light dim for whoever is in there. I started by leaving a small strip uncovered till I heard the little guy screaming which meant he was being looked at so off I went to get a towel.
I'd had such a lull between dumps and ferals that I thought I was done seeing new ones for a while. That's what I get for thinking.
Here's hoping I can get the little guy taken care of in short order.
