crying cat outside, what to do?
Good morning:
Chelle here. Several weeks ago I trapped a medium sized to small gray tabby/white mix male. He was neutered, rabies shot, combo test negative. He bit the vet and was put in rabies observation for 10 days. I took him home and put him in a cage since I had two others in the same room with him, one who was sick and the other who was very dominant and may have started a fight. Medium sized dog crate covered with a blanket. He went used the box, and on the third day I noted much less stool in the box. He would not drink much. He would not eat at all. I put him back outside at 11:30 p.m. near my portch. I tried lots of stuff to get him to eat, but the vet said he would be in danger if he did not eat for more than 3 days. 2.5 weeks later he came back to my house. I feed him, but he is still very frightened. He is not a dominant cat and is not a good food competitor. He spends a few hours a day lounging around my portch, and he cries so very much. I can't see any open wounds, broken extremities, he moves well and runs without a limp. Any ideas on what he would want with all the crying? All my inside cats are fixed. He is fixed. ================= "The day may come when the rest of the animal creation may acquire those rights which never could have been withholden from them but by the hand of tyranny. The question is not can they REASON, nor can they TALK, but can they SUFFER?" -- Jeremy Bentham |
