There are 2 kitties outside that showed up about 2 weeks ago. They look to be between 1 and 2 years of age. A girl and a boy (I think) that look like they are probably litter mates. She looks seal point siamese and he has color points with tabbie markings. They found a good shelter and I''ve been feeding them. The boy kitty has his right ear tipped (the tip is cut off) which indicates Trap Neuter Release. She looks great, with big clear eyes and clean ears - he has conjunctivitis, dirty ears, and just an overall messy appearance. He is more skittish than her - but both are pretty comfortable with me (she ate catnip out of my hand yesterday).
If they were truly feral, would they let me get so close in just a week and a half? Is it possible somebody just dumped them? Anyway, I plan to keep taking care of them, try to tame them and find them homes.
My 2 indoor cats are fed Eukanuba and prescription food from the vet. I''ve been feeding the feral cats plain Purina Cat Chow in the blue bag. I kind of feel guilty that I''m not giving them premium food. Though a few years ago when one of my cats was having a problem with loose stool, the vet put her on cat chow to clear it up. It worked and the vet said that Purina Cat Chow is a pretty nutritious food.
Also the boy kitty is drinking LOTS of water. I''m thinking he may need wet food. Can anyone recommend fairly nutritious/inexpensive brands?
These kitties are so sweet. It just breaks my heart to see kitties without homes.
