It does seem like he's chosen your house for his new home. What gorgeous
eyes he has! And those whiskers are interesting.

I haven't seen him since yesterday morning. I am intrigued by those
whiskers - I've never seen anything like them.

It is possible to get him scanned for a microchip?

If he stays, or comes back and stays, he will have to be checked over
by the vet - I assume the vet can do that. However, chips are not
popular in this area.



I'm always amazed when someone abandons a purebred cat as he sure appears to
be. But what passes for people can get in over their heads with one. A
fully endowed Siamese tom without a proper upbringing can be a real handful
and quite a challenge. Get one with a streak of mean and they can be
downright scary for a non cat person.

Our Sam killed and dragged home full grown jackrabbits. And this was after
he lost the use of one leg. He also slept in my daughters crib from the
time she was a few weeks old and raised a newborn puppy with just some help
from us when it had to be fed.

I know you will do your best by him, and can allow him to be whatever cat he
is. I'm glad he found you, and hope he finds his one true home, wherever it
is meant to be.

I don't know what area you live in, but there is a "national" siamese
cat
rescue group. Their website is at http://www.siameserescue.org/
15 cats is quite a few unless you live on a farm or something. Maybe
these people can help you and find him a home.

I wouldn't call it a farm, but since 2/3 of the acrage is in hay and
the yard takes four hours to mow, it probabaly is - though a small
one. The cats can roam for a couple of miles to the north and west
without encountering a road or other habitation, and many of them do.

I am not sure you will have a choice in the matter, if he figured out the
flap and the others aren't hostile I think you better start picking out
names, Lee

He didn't look as good as he did a few days ago - I think he hadn't
been eating until he figured out my difficult (possum proof) cat flap.

Since this was about feeding time, most of my cats were inside - they
seemed confused, but not hostile. I think he's looking for a home. I

I haven't seen him since Friday, but Spot is hanging around and I
doubt that two intact males would be here at the same time, especially
when one of them is feral and sort of lives under my workshop.

Would it be worth advertising widely in case he got into a vehicle
accidentally? He is so lovely and (was) well fed that I think his slaves
might be desperate about where he is.

Given that you said you lived in a remote location, you are probably right.
I don't understand, and will never, why people dump cats. If you don't want
your cat, find a no-kill shelter to rehome it.
This boy looks like Siamese purebred. He must have cost a lot of money to
buy in the first place, so why not, if they did not want him any more, not
advertise for a new home for him? I'm sure there would have been someone
who just had a Siamese pass away that would have loved to have him.
However, now he is yours :-)

I think you could possibly have room for a new lost Siamese boy then.

Given what I know about Siamese boys, no pressure is necessary anyway. If
he wants to stay he will. If he doesn't, he won't. Ted will have very
little say in the matter.
