This tom is old- poor boy. He is the one who I mentioned a few days ago that was seen near a hospital by someone who has adopted a cat from me. I dropped off my trap yesterday and he was caught today. He is upstairs (still in the trap) but he is an ominous growler and I don’t want to put him into the cage before the vet sees him (which will be first thing tomorrow morning). I hate to keep him in the trap but think after looking at all his injuries including a large slash across his neck! That this is the only way to handle him right now. We just got back from West Eugene to pick him up- I have fed him and gave him water and hope he doesn’t wear his food by morning. He is covered and quiet now. i don’t know if the aggression he showed me is because he is wild, or because of pain- but tomorrow I suspect he will stay at the vet overnight so they can fix his leg that is pretty mashed up. 🙁
Sending lots of love to this guy…I hope he stays calm through the night and is agreeable at the vet tomorrow…..
