Tuxedo Cat

Our semi-feral Grey Tabby tomcat has had a running battle with a feral Tuxedo for the past year or so. It's definitely a battle over territory. Our Grey Tabby has won the war apparently since the Tuxedo is now laying back and waiting for all the other cats in the colony to eat. We finally were able to get a picture of him. I must say, he's a good looking Tuxedo. Next step, try (again) to trap him and get him all of his shots and neutered.

semi-feral. They have all their shots and have been spayed/neutered. A much happier bunch, for sure.

But not to worry, there's still plenty of food and water out there for him.

but he is "trap smart." We discussed it, since this picture was taken, and decided to try and give him some wet food - and dose it. The problem will be keeping the other cats in the colony away from it. Once he's a bit groggy, it's in the carrier with him and off to the vet.
