Mister Lonelyboy just came by and he looked quite awful.
He seemed scrawner than the other day, but more than that
half his face/neck is all swollen up. No sign of outside injury
but maybe an inside growth or infection. No obvious sign of
being in pain. He came and I gave him some delicious wet
food so he'd stay still a little while I looked at him.
Well, he looked awful to me. And I decided forget the owner
I'm taking this boy to the vet. So I readied my cat carrier
and met up with him out in the yard.

I was able to pick him up and grab the scruff, but I was
worried about the swelling in his neck and I lost my grip,
at which point things started getting kind of nuts.
Long story short, I may not see him around for a few days.
I'm scrubbing my scratches and regrouping. Going to
call someone shortly, see about getting help for him.
Thanks everyone for advice, encouragement, interest.
