not just wild animals

Submitted by chad360 on Wed, 01/23/2008 - 3:29pm.

So, I just got in from the alley where I had to grab a bit of plastic strapping out of a stray cat's maw to save it from choking. It was upsetting to see a hungry cat going thru trash for food and getting choked by trash. My neighbor habitually does not feed his cat, and it is irksome. I gave the kitty a bowl of food and water and some nice touches before coming inside out of the this evening's gathering cold & dark. I may have to build it a small cat house to weather the remainder of this winter in, as there is no room in our house with our three cats as is~

I second Gug, but also need to point out that since you fed the cat once it will now come to you for food. If you're cool with that, you have a new cat.

[EDIT] Ack! How did I not pay attention to your final sentence?

The cold nighttime temps can be hard on animals, esp. if they aren't getting enough to eat. I like your idea about making a house for this poor cat. He/She would probably appreciate having a place to make a cat nest. Might make the difference between surviving or not surviving the winter.

yeah, you are right

I resolve to build an insulated cat box this weekend!
