Feral cats seek out trickling water, so if you setup a container of water dripping into a dish I doubt the cutie could resist. Good luck and is a worthy effort - I bet it’s interested in you!

I have a soft spot for mackerel tabbies as one such feral turned into the one of the most amazing super cats I’ve ever had the privilege of knowing. Rescued another that walked right up to me (probably due to the open wound on its back). Has been a great kitty for my parents ever since.
