And he works pretty cheap, couple of cans of food a day is all it takes.

About 5 days ago we saw a little stray cat outside our shop, so we took out a dish of food for him/her (I don't have a good track record telling the difference ) Poor thing was really skinny and although it was scared of us, he ate the food once we walked away. Every night we have been putting out more food for him and gradually he has calmed down. Now he looks for us and we are able to pet him and he rubs up against you.

He doesn't seem to be very old, and I think he was used to people at one time by the way he now acts........not at all like a wild cat. Tonight I sat with him while he gobbled down two cans of food and some dry food too. Got him to even hold still for some pictures.

I feel so sorry for animals who have to fend for themselves like that, so tomorrow I am going to call the animal rescue league and see if they can take him in. They don't ever put them to sleep and keep the animal till it adopts out. If I didn't already have two at the shop and three at home I would take him in, but pretty soon I'm going to be like that crazy cat person you always hear about who has like 100 cats.

If they can take him he will adopt out pretty fast I bet. Cute little fella and he loves being with people.
