minus-squareFuglyDuck@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up39arrow-down1·9 months agoThe cat is very clean, though you’re right. might have been an adopted feral? If OP wants to take it in, get it to a vet and scan for chips. (they may also a free check up/vaccinations.)
minus-squareLenny@lemmy.worldOPlinkfedilinkarrow-up33·9 months agoWe think she belongs to the house behind us, so I’m gonna put a collar on her with a note tomorrow and see if we get confirmation.
minus-squaresteal_your_face@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up13·9 months agoMake sure you get a breakaway collar or it could strangle the cat if it gets caught on something.
minus-squareVelvetStorm@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up9·9 months agoGood luck on that. Make sure it’s a break away one.
minus-squareLenny@lemmy.worldOPlinkfedilinkarrow-up10·9 months agoIt’s actually a breakaway bowtie (for cats). What’s the point in money if you can’t spend it on the neighborhood strays 🤣
minus-squareFuglyDuck@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up8·9 months agothat sounds barbaric. I get clipping on ferrals, but if there’s an owner… why take the effort?
minus-squareLenny@lemmy.worldOPlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·9 months agoI think (without any research, just from vague memory) the ear clipping isn’t actually all that painful to the cat, and the benefits of an immediate visual identifier outweigh it. I wouldn’t even know where to look for a cat tat.
