Blogdaughter Tammi of Tammi's World is getting soft-hearted for a stray cat:

"there's this really pretty white and gray kitten been hanging around for a couple of days....so sweet. Not very old - I'm betting under a year. And, well, it's sooo hungry.....and just one bowl of milk couldn't hurt tooooooo much, could it? And, it's just so cute."

*sigh*

Well, it IS possible to keep outdoor cats. TNT & I had a gang of 'em when we lived out in the country. We'd leave a bunch of food out for 'em, they'd show up, chow down & wander away. While they were eating, you could give 'em a little head-scratch & make 'em purr.

My suggestion - buy some cheap-ass dry food and a flea collar. It'll be fine outside until winter, at which point you can choose to make it a housecat or take it to a shelter. Either way, it'll be flea-free when you decide.

By the way, we only adopted one of the dozen or so strays we fed, and that was only because she adored horse-dog Jake.

4-pound kitten. 80-pound (at the time) dog. Go figure.

1 Oh cute!! Reminds me of our dog Mike who adopted a just days old kitten... Mike has long since gone to heaven but "Mike's Partner" (shortened eventually to Partner) still lives in Cheyanne, Wyo. He's like 18 now.
