Someone recommended this to me -- easy for a layman to grasp. I haven't watched it all but think many here might like it. It's about the scientific or mathematical proof of how within the finite, is the infinite.

Don't know which group or forum best to post.

Seeking advice regarding a kitty

This is about a cat who may or may not be homeless, who
is pulling on my heartstrings so I'm looking for wise advice
& insights.

He looks (almost) like this:

He still has his balls which makes me wonder if he is
a homeless tom. He doesn't seem to be starving, but
he always comes crying for food. I've been leaving out
some dry food and water just in case. Doesn't seem traumatized,
or mean, just lonely and maybe hungry. He came in the door
a couple of times (even though I have 3 cats in the house
much of the time.) I can't let him in any more though
because he sprays; but I think he wants the warmth and
company.

I noticed his ears looked very dirty inside (he doesn't let
me touch him, but comes close to me now.

He's very gentle and non-agressive with my cats. I've seen
him touch noses with one of my (neutered) boy cats.

He comes into my porch and cries at the door. In the night
I hear him crying outside my window. So I don't know if
he has a home, or not, or if I should feed him, or not,
or if I should take him to a vet, or not, or what, any advice???

I don't need another cat but if he has nobody else I'll
take him on even though I can't afford it, but so what.
BUt if he's already somebody's cat.. and I don't know how
to find that out.

Many thanks in advance for any help.

"Dear Republican Candidates, You Have us all Wrong" - Juan Cole

"Dear Rick Perry: We don’t want our troops in Iraq. We don’t think President Obama was too quick to get them out. We think he was too slow. We don’t want to go back into Iraq militarily. We don’t care if Iraq’s Shiites like Iran’s Shiites and we don’t think that 18-year-old young men from Alabama and Louisiana with guns can convince them not to. And, the Iraqis don’t want them there. President Obama did not err in his negotiations. There is *no* majority in the Iraqi parliament that would vote for having US troops on Iraqi soil."
