I have been taking care of a fiercely free and semi-feral cat for years. I am full up on my own cats (all but one who are rescues)
Even with food, she in the lone cat no one can catch to TNR.
She basically has lived in the shared backyards since she was born, 4 years ago.
Last I saw her, she was drinking out of a paper bowl of water.
Today I saw her sitting by the back door to the yard. She was up on a ledge about 3 feet off the ground.
I put down a plate of food and then came indoors to watch her eat.
She turned to look at the food and then jumped. And face planted and rolled into the food. She lay on her side for a second and then staggered underneath the cat tree I have out back for her.
She lay flattened but turned when I would say her name. "Minkie"
I came inside to google things about her condition, by the time I returned, she was dragging/staggering into neighbor's backyard.
I don't know what to do. I can go in this neighbor's yard as we're friends, but I am afraid of scaring Minkie into other neighbor's yards (they all hate cats)
It reminds me of another cat a year ago who lingered in the same fashion.
He had head tilt, but you could tell his back must have been broken.
He was able to get enough speed to get away when I tried to catch him. He would drink water and eat a bit, but then he finally vanished.
What does this sound like ?
