"Momma Cat"

This stray calico cat lives in my neighborhood. Lately, she's taken to sleeping underneath our car or on the neighbor's patio table during the nighttime. When it rains, she hides underneath the other neighbor's shed.

She's starting to get a little friendlier - meaning, she doesn't bolt the second she sees people - which may have something to do with the fact I've been feeding her Chicken Soup for the Cat Lover's Soul on the back patio...

She's gorgeous! Reminds me of my girl but with with longer fur.

I can't honestly think of anyway to critique this. The subject is centered, there's no voids in the image. Her pose is kind of saying "This is my turf. Back off."(or at least that's what I'm getting.)

She would probably be a great cat to eventually tame. Calicos can be pretty stubborn though from my experience.

I've been thinking about what to do with her. Obviously, I feel bad that she's a stray. She has a wound on her neck that's healing, and the neighbor said that she was limping over the last winter because someone had shot her with a BB.

Unfortunately, we rent and have a dog and two cats of our own. We wouldn't be able to tame her and bring her inside, even if it were an option, because we are not allowed to have any more pets. If I were to catch her and take her to the SPCA, I think they would probably consider her "unadoptable" because she is not very friendly with people.

So what to do is anyone's guess. I figure, at least she's got food when I feed her...

You are very welcome. ^^ Perhaps a new family member in the future? ;)

In some places there's groups that take in stray and feral cats and devote their time to "taming" them. And the ones that aren't tamed are released into registered feral colonies.

Oh my gosh, she looks just like the stray wandering around here! Exactly the same!
