Thursday morning, when DH left for work, we noticed a half-grown cat among our outside cats. It's just beautiful...white and caramel coloring. It has stuck around because there is food and water available. Obviously it is a "drop off" pet. Someone dropped it off to fend for itself in an environment completely foreign to it. The poor thing just wants to be held and petted. Today,it was driving my DH to distraction as he is putting a water pump in his car. Fortunately, my DD,Zookeeper, took it home as I already have two inside cats.
My message is this: Please, if you cannot keep a pet, don't drop it in the country. It may very well die a horrible death by starvation, illness,attacks by wild animals or a car will run it over. Take it to the humane society or have it put down. Better a swift death than a slow torturous one.
Unwanted pets!
