Fed Nebuchadnezzar his last small meal for the night. It is only his second meal and I feel horrible about giving him such small amounts because you can tell he has been starving. But I don't want him to develop re-feeding syndrome. He has plenty of water. Sylvester and Enoch have not made a sound, but they are hanging by the door and windows.
I have found Sylvester and Nebuchadnezzar window kissing, but no sound from either one.
My friend the Vet is open tomorrow, so I will take him by to get checked out and treated for any vermin, though I have not found any fleas or ticks on him. Probably because it is so darn hot.
It may also be the reason for his rusting. Rusting can come from trauma, long stays in direct sunlight, and for some it can just be genetic. A true black cat is not as common as many people think. Tabby & ginger coloring is actually the most common color for cats.
I was not planning on bringing Nebuchadnezzar inside. But he is so darn tiny and so darn sweet and loving that I may end up with another porch cat that spends more time indoors than out. The Huskies are still ignoring him, but my huskies grew up with kittens and they only are interested tiny things they are not familiar with if they move suddenly and fast.
My Huskies are okay, I am not so sure how Nebuchadnezzar is going to react with those big noisy things up close. It will likely be a long slow process. I
I think he was dumped also. My greatest fear is that he was not dumped alone, and he got separated from the rest of his litter.
He does not have a feral bone in his body. But he is very small and very skinny, so he has not been at a mother's tit in a long while. He does not eat dry food well, but he inhales the wet food.
I am going to go looking for the rest of the litter, if they are still around. I am in the woods, and even though it is a dirt road there is still a lot of traffic, and the coyotes have been hanging closer to the houses because my neighbors have been firing off guns and fireworks every evening since Thursday night.
They must have bought out the entire warehouse.
If I find the rest of the litter, I will keep them as outdoor cats. I can use them around the homestead. I have a neighbor about a mile away that has a bunch of outdoors cats that he keeps around his place to keep the vermin from his garden and chickens. All of his have notched ears, and he said he has no reproducing ones in his lot.
Unfortunately people do dump cats and dogs on a regular basis out here. They will even abandon furniture, and vehicles out here. Just because there is a long dirt road and there are no visible houses for miles, does not mean that people don't live out here.
Look right outside the window lying on the table on the outside.
Enoch and Sylvester are lying at the window on the inside.
I think these guys are going to get along just fine.
