his name is Chester and unfortunately (or fortunately) he's too friendly to stay a stray. Pretty soon he's gonna get taken to the pound to get a home :)
he will walk right up to you and will ask for pets and is suuuper sweet.
he has a few friends but I don't know their names yet. A black and white "penis face" tuxedo cat, and a long hair calico, along with a few shyer ones who prefer to only come out at night.
edit: talked to my sister and "penis face" is apparently named archie
If they don't have a collar they're a stray
Yeah no. That's not how that works nowdays. You see there are these tiiiiiny little chips they can tag animals without danger of strangulation.
And guess what the shelter is going to check for.
Shelters absolutely will check for a microchip for an animal that is brought to them.
Oh so its ok to steal/kidnap because someone else will make sure it was justified?
Lmao
Cat collars are made with a different type of clasp than dog collars. Cat collars are made to separate with a little bit of pressure due to a cat's tendency to squeeze through tight spaces. My cats are both indoor cats and remove their collars frequently. The older cat does it on purpose because he thinks his collar is a toy. The point being, cat collars can be very hard to keep attached. Absence doesn't mean it doesn't have a home.
But absence does mean you can assume it is and take it to the pound.
If the owners exist guess where they can find their bird murderer.
If they are not leashed, they're a stray.
