following up to this thread: Seeking advice regarding a kitty

http://www.democraticunderground.com/101848328

After the last posting and everyone's helpful replies,
and unsuccessful attempts to catch him & take to a vet,
and further contemplations concerns appearances and
many weeks later, he seemed to have disappeared,
& I wondered if he had died. (The last couple of times
I'd seen him he'd apparently been in some big fights
and was all torn up.) But we weren't hearing him any
longer in the middle of the night and he wasn't showing
up on the roof, or at dinnertime.

Well, the other night I heard his familiar meeowlling
outside our porch, and saw him up on a perch, wearing
one of those humiliating plastic cones pets get after
surgery. He was only there for a minute and I haven't
seen him since, but am curious to find out what kind of
care he's gotten -- I imagine that if he went to a vet
for any reason, they would have neutered him? yes?

1. saw him again today, he ventured into our porch

and was calling to my cat to come out and play.

I couldn't see if he still has his balls or not, but
his cone of shame is gone.

Half the fur on his face and head has been shaved
so he looks misshapen, but no sign of open wounds now.

I'm feeling more comfortable knowing that somebody
at least is looking out for him, got him to a vet. Someone is
definitely feeding him. Hopefully he's now been neutered and
had shots.

2. I've read of cats that have 2 or 3 homes....

They live with you for a couple of days, you feed them, clean up after them, and then the cat disappears for a couple of days. One day you get around to visiting a neighbor's place that you don't often see. You're like "hey, what's my cat doing on your sofa?"

Lots of fun and adventure for them. I keep my cats in the house. Sorry, boys. Maybe in your next lifetime you will get to have all that fun exploring and chasing the girls.

3. Looks like he won the cat lottery twice

lucky cat! to have found two people willing to help him out. Bet he showed up again to let you know he's ok.
