I have lost track of time. It has probably almost a month since a yellow tomcat appeared in my backyard. He was quite skittish at first and was living out of my garage. Through appropriate cat befriending techniques, Chris and I were able to win over the kitty's trust.
Our next door neighbor had stated that the cat belonged to another nearby neighbor. So, I gave that neighbor a call but their cat of similar description was sitting right in front of them when I called. No one has come forth to claim the kitty, which I had dubbed "Nacho Cat."
Considering that we feed him and provide him with food and water, he might be our cat by now. We haven't allowed him inside because of Claws. She never seemed to like other cats and I have not taken Nacho to the vet yet. I'm not going to let him inside until I know that he's not carrying feline pestilence. He seems healthy enough. He has also become quite friendly. He demands pettings and often runs up to greet us when we return home.
