Tuxedo Cat

[SlimJimmy]

Our semi-feral Grey Tabby tomcat has had a running battle with a feral Tuxedo for the past year or so. It's definitely a battle over territory. Our Grey Tabby has won the war apparently since the Tuxedo is now laying back and waiting for all the other cats in the colony to eat. We finally were able to get a picture of him. I must say, he's a good looking Tuxedo. Next step, try (again) to trap him and get him all of his shots and neutered.

2. He looks like my Booter kitty.

We lost him a few years ago. Pretty kitty!

3. Handsome boi !!

4. With that big head and cheeks, definitely unneutered

Handsome guy.

[SlimJimmy]

5. Yep, that's what we thought as well.

Big round head? Not neutered.

7. Thanks for mentioning the neutering of feral kitties--so important. Feral is tough way to live.

8. It sure is. That's why I refer to our three outdoor cats as

semi-feral. They have all their shots and have been spayed/neutered. A much happier bunch, for sure.

9. What a handsome, sad-eyed boy.

10. He's probably sad because he lost his territory battle.

But not to worry, there's still plenty of food and water out there for him.

11. I know that there is!

12. He is handsome and looks

So sweet. I hope you can catch him.

13. We've tried to trap him a couple of times,

but he is "trap smart." We discussed it, since this picture was taken, and decided to try and give him some wet food - and dose it. The problem will be keeping the other cats in the colony away from it. Once he's a bit groggy, it's in the carrier with him and off to the vet.

14. Good idea
