If he's still there when you get back and doesn't seem diseased, just disheveled, see if he's friendly and try to take him to a shelter if you don't want him. At a shelter he'll have a chance at being adopted and even if they have to put him down it will be a more humane death than simply dying outside.

Just make sure, OP, that you put him/her in a lockable cat carrier (you can most likely borrow one from the shelter) before you try to take that cat anywhere in a car.

Otoh, sometimes the arc of your existence crosses another beings' path. This can be looked at as an opportunity. The universe is full of them, and is always presenting them to you. You simply have to recognize that opportunity for what it is when it comes to you.

If you possibly feel ready for the responsibility and the joy of such a relationship, that cat may just be saying, "Y hello thar" to you.

We dont use carriers for our kitties. We just open the back of the jeep, throw them in two or three at a time and then take off. They normally just sit and look out the windows... unless one of them decides to start them all off and then I have choir in the back.

We have travelled from Nashville, TN to Northern, NJ with four cats and no carriers. Hahaha!!

But most cats are not that well brought up and do, indeed, need a carrier.

... or foaming at the mouth.

Or posting more than 10 times a day on P&N.

That's the third of the three main signs.

reminds me of how my mom got her second cat, she fed a kitty that was living in the trees and it ran inside the house...

Grab your super soaker from the closet. Fill with water. Spray at kitty.

 

[pontifex]

wow, are you that much of a puss?
don't feed it unless you want it to keep coming back.

You need some asertiveness training.

Animal shelter?

+1 for naming it baxtor and punting off a bridge.

It probably thinks, "Ooh, the last time I was in one of these big boxes, some lumbering biped thing kept feeding me, and I never got rained on either, and there were all kinds of fun places to sleep. I want in!!!!"

We have 3 generations of stray cats in our backyard. We feed them, made a house for them, etc. THey have become very friendly.

Start as 2, then was 4, then was 8... Then we took them to the humane society and had them fixed. Now we have 6 that come around relatively often, 5 of which walk right up to us to be petted.

Or if it seems friendly but you don't want it, take it to the Humane Society (assuming you have a No Kill shelter) and let them konw it's a stray and needs a good home.
