zippyzag1 Â Â 10 #1 Posted July 3, 2014 If anyone knows of someone with a black and white cat near the middlewood tram terminus area, then please get in touch. Â We think it's a tom cat. He seems to have adopted us and keeps hanging around more and more each day. (He's been coming a few months now) He could be a stray with the amount of time he is spending sleeping on our doorstep. Sometimes up to 6 hours in one visit...then goes for an hour maximum then returns. We have started to feed him once a day so we know he is getting at least one good meal per day. We are due to move house in the next few months and don't want to leave him to starve if he is homeless. We do hope he already has a loving home but if not we will give him one. Please pm me if you know of anyone who this cat may belong to. Under a vets advice we will be asking for photo evidence of if this is your cat due to people saying cats are theirs and claiming them then going on to do nasty things to them.

zippyzag1 Â Â 10 #3 Posted July 3, 2014 No, but that's on our to do list if we don't hear anything off here within the next few days. We don't want to cause him distress by bundling him up in a box if possible. He's extremely nervous at the slightest thing, bless him...

angel22 Â Â 10 #4 Posted July 3, 2014 Aww, bless him. Â What will you do if you can't find his owner and he's not chipped.

zippyzag1 Â Â 10 #5 Posted July 3, 2014 Yes, we will keep him. My little old lady cat passed away last year so there's nothing stopping us taking him in. He's a lovely cat. Once he had relaxed with us and got trust, he's extremely loving. We will miss him if it turns out he does have a home, but I wouldn't want anyone taking my cat if the shoe was on the other foot... We haven't given him a name but tempted to call him "Roger" as we have seen quite a few pregnant cats about lately! Haha! And we see him in the garden chilling out with them. :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
vwkittie   10 #6 Posted July 3, 2014 It might be an idea to put posters up around the area and maybe at the tram stop as many local people will go there and see them.  I'd pop him down to your local vets to see if he's chipped, the vets might even recognise him if you're lucky.  Is he neutered?  Good to know he'll be ok whatever happens though!

zippyzag1 Â Â 10 #7 Posted July 3, 2014 That's a great idea. Thanks. I've no idea if he is neutered. I've only ever had female cats so don't know what I'm looking at. Haha! He did something very strange the other day when I fed him. He ate only half, sprayed on it and covered it with grass! That's the first time I've seen him spray and it worried me that he would spray in my house but he hasnt luckily! If we don't locate his owner then we will definitely make sure he is neutered. It's one of the conditions if he wants to come with us. Lol! I can't be doing with a smelly house! :-/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
*Peaches* Â Â 10 #8 Posted July 3, 2014 If he's spraying I doubt he's neutered... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
angel22 Â Â 10 #9 Posted July 3, 2014 Have a look at him from the back, under his tail. If he has testicles, he isn't neutered!! They're usually pretty easy to spot! Â But as Peaches says, chances are he isn't neutered if he spraying. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

vwkittie   10 #12 Posted July 4, 2014 If he's spraying I doubt he's neutered...  Hate to tell you this but ALL cats can spray, male or female, neutered or not!  My tom cat sprays all around the garden and the back door , he sprays somewhere every day, and he was neutered at 5/6 months.  My old queen started spraying in the house when she went a bit doo-lally in her later years, bless her.  Hopefully if you do decide to take this cat on he'll just spray his boarders and not in the house if he can't smell other cats in there.  Edit - I meant he sprays OUTSIDE the back door, which makes sense as it's a warning to other cats to stay away from the cat flap!
