This is the orange mackeral tabby who’s been hanging around for the last two weeks. He is a tomcat (of course). We never seem to get neutered strays around here. His markings are amazing. I’ve never seen anything like it. From the front half of his head to the middle of his back, he is a brilliant, orange, striped mackeral  tabby. Almost as if someone has drawn a line down the middle of his back, the back half of him is also in the macro tabby pattern, but it’s a muted orange. I decided to call him Hamilton. He seems to want to stick around coming in at all hours of the day and night. I am looking at ads on Facebook because July 4 is a scary night for kitties and they runoff and go along way before they stop running. So far I have not seen anything to what he looks like being searched for. He is not feral and by next week, he will no longer be a tomcat. He’s welcome to stay and eat for as long as he wants to, but I’m not going to have an intact male running around during kitten season. He looks fairly young. Hopefully in a few days, I will be able to get him into a cat carrier and get him into the vet and get him neutered.
