    Me on Feb 10th: "I'm not adopting another cat. If the world foists one upon me, I will handle that. But otherwise, no. One cat is expensive enough, and oh man, the logistics.

    I'd seen this dude before last year, but rarely, and his friendliness made me think he was someone's boy.

    Well, last week he shows up, post- ice-storm, having been trapped under a porch for 5 days, with a big abscessed bite wound on his neck. I checked around, he was indeed a stray. So I figured, I can't let him suffer out here! He needs medical attention! I'll foster him while he heals! (Why yes I do lie to myself on occasion, why do you ask)

    About 36h later, I caught him. Got him to vet. No chip, un-neutered. Definitely stray. FIV+, abscess drained and antibiotics given, fleas treated, but otherwise healthy! I set him up in my basement, separate from my resident kitty. And oh my god. He's so noisy and cute and sweet.

    His neck is doing great, so im scheduling his de-balling (the price he must pay for a cushy life) and then he will get a week or two of his hormones settling before careful introductions begin.

    I'm so glad he's inside now, as i write this we are getting another blizzard. Instead of freezing beneath a porch with an infection, he is inside, warm, with pets, crunchies, treats, and blankies. He hasn't figured out toys yet. He will.
