I have been feeding the stray cat around my house for about a week now. She is definately a she...calico. She is still skidish and runs easily but today...I shook the food bowl. And she came over to me and did a kinda meowf with a lot of air. Sniffed my fingers and started to eat. She then smelled my feet as I was standing there and rubbed against my ankles
I reached down and scratched her head and shoulders and she started twisting around both feet and nibbling here and there on the food I had set down! I then noticed that her back end and tail are shaved...with a puff ball on the end. She runs kinda funny with her back legs curved out and really low to the ground. Hubby noticed it a few days ago.
So we are thinking that she is someones pet that has either been shaved/had surgery very recently and has gotten out. I looked in the local papers but no lost and found has been posted. I'll call the shelters in town tomorrow. If no one claims her Im adding her to my household
She is now outside my house under my car sitting there watching the door. She ran up to the front step and looked at my tortie sitting in the window then scooted under the car and stayed there. She hasnt let me touch her again ... but its a start!
