While my brother eas working, he found my male, a presumed stray cat. He'd been hanging around the workmen and followed my brother into the house where he was working. The homeowners said he was a nuisance and she believed he was a stray.
He was small and a little skinny when I took him from my brother, he was not fixed, and he had fleas. He was very friendly and affectionate, however. I think the first vet overestimated his age though, because he has gotten a LOT bigger since I've had him. So, that could explain his size and the fact that he wasn,t fixed yet.
My brother was recently in that neigjborhod again and, as he was leaving, a cat walked into the middle of the street and just sat there. It appeared that it might have come from a house with kids playing outside but he can't be sure. He said the cat looked forlorn and lonely. This house was around the corner from where he found the other male.
After observing my male's behavior for a while and seeing that he seems to enjoy interaction with other cats more than with people, I'm worried that he might have lived with that other cat. He had fleas but he could have been an outdoor cat and I took him away from his playmate and the outdoors, which he seems to be yearning for.
It is also possible that there are a lot of strays in that area. Unless I go door to door, I won't know. Maybe, I was too hasty. Now, I don't know what to do. I can't just drop him off in the street without knowing but telling someone I've had his/her cat for months, had him neutered, and accidentally mistook him for a stray may not go ovet too well.
