Manny the Once Feral Cat

[Mr_Luke]

One day last week he made up his mind that he wanted to come in the house, so I let him in and he checked out every room.
Then I got him vetted the next day to make sure he didn't have any diseases my 2 house cats might catch, and he didn't.
I let him in and out as he pleases. He's had runny stools lately, I'm not sure if it's because he's a Manx cat or if it's more due to diet and the stress of moving in with 2 cats. None of these 3 cats seem to like each other much, but they tolerate each other. When I adopted Cubby he got severe diarrhea due to the stress and I found that raw or cooked meats, and kibble (dry cat food) seemed to stop it but canned foods brought it back again, so that's what I'm going to try with him.
Some say a higher fiber cat food might also help. Purina Beyond grain free is about 6.5% fiber.

I live with a semi feral cat. I feed her Friskies dry food and two of these every day. She is fastidious about her habits and doesn't work on anything. Doesn't get along well with any non-human creatures and I'm careful not to make her grumpy. Try some of these for your miniature tiger tiger;

Manny's got you trained right and is living the good life.

The crazy cat didn't want to come in last winter when it was cold and windy outdoors.
He waited until it was beautiful out and 78℉.

Manny looks like the feral/stray cat that hangs around our place. Seems good natured, but you can't get near him. As he helps control the rodent population (we live on a farm), he is welcome to stay. We call him Buddy.

Beautiful cat! Take good care of each other.

A change in a cats diet can give them the poops. Even just changing food brands or flavors can do it.

Hopefully, Manny will be a nice pet for you. However, I seen too many feral cats with attitudes that were hard to break of those "wild" habits.

Cats that didn't have human experiences are always good natured, but wary. They do realise they're a few pounds and we're a couple hundred.

Does he get enough to eat? Do you leave food out for him?

Thank you kind soul for giving Manny his forever home. He's a beautiful cat that deserves a good home. I just finished ordering three kitten warmers online that our local Paws & Claws was asking for in our local paper. Glad we can help ease the kitten explosion we have this time of year. Regards to you sir.

Oh yes. We have other 'barn' cats that we leave dry food out for. Buddy gets a feed when he thinks no one is looking. lol
