adopted

[flummoxicated]

We have been adopted by a young male black and white cat. He just showed up one morning on our back steps. He is incredibly affectionate! He doesn't even get upset when our cats cry and hiss at him. It's fun to watch him play in the yard, though one day he caught a small mouse and was tossing it around for fun. That was kind of gross, and I've since forbidden him from catching chipmunks.

So we have started talking about taking him in. He's such a people cat, and it's going to get cold soon. I'm not sure how he would survive surrounded by all the feline estrogen. Of course he'll get fixed, but he would still be the only guy. I also wonder how he will adopt to being inside-only. Our last two strays did fine though.

I've been calling him Cow Boy. Not Cowboy - Cow Boy, like Spider Man. He's marked like a Holstein but cows are girls, so that's what I came up with.
