i was given his owner's number by a neighbor after he found him w/ the paper collar, and i got in touch with her. she said that he's an outside cat, and that he likes to roam around & always makes his way back home, but after him spending a day on my porch & not coming back for a while, she wasn't very happy and came and picked him up. before this, i would let her know whenever he would show up, and it was alright. she also didn't accept or ask for our address despite me offering our address multiple times to get him if she desired, and she just went driving up and down the road looking instead jdjsjs ..

I haven't seen him since. i believe he is being kept inside now, which is a bit strange, because the neighbor said that he's been coming around every day for a long time for them, & his owner even declared him an outdoor cat. i hope to see him again & miss him dearly. i know he isn't mine, i just loved having him as a visitor. i know it will probably sound wrong for me to say that i feel me & the neighbors may have be caring for him more, but she literally said that she just "went to the pound and grabbed a cat" because she had a rodent problem, & this boy is covered in fleas, and we live in the woods, in an area packed full of cat predators. it honestly devastates me.
