Visiting with the neighbors: a temporary cat shelter 1 "14

Meet Stinky Inky aka Spot aka Boston Blacky. He's a ferrel cat that Bruce has been feeding. I lured him into our enclosed Carolina Room (Its like a glassed in porch.) with the promise of some canned food instead of the dry kibble he normally gets. Once inside, I locked him in. He has food,water, lots of warm bedding, and a litter box.. He isn't too happy about being confined to a 14 x 20 foot indoor space, but at least he won't freeze to death overnight. I'll release him back to his beloved woods once it is safe for him to be out again.

By the way, he wasn't growling. or hissing..Like many Ferrel cats he keeps a low profile,,, ears flat ,tail down. Out of doors he's pretty friendly and will follow Bruce and I around and lets us pet him. I don't think he has ever been indoors before and he's very scared, and is breathing though his mouth. Kat tried to comfort him ( (They get along okay), but he is not at all convinced .
