Grey Stray


Ok I think this little fella is a stray, saw him today running up and down our willow tree and playing in the garden, he is a lot thinner than in the photos I slowly opened the back door armed with cat nuts and he cautiously came over to me, after eating a bit he started to purr!!! with some TLC he would be a stunning cat, he is still intact though

What do you guys think?

Re: Grey Stray


Wow he's gorgeous Emma!! Can't believe a cat as beautiful as that is a stray Do you think that if he is entire that he may just have wandered away from home looking for the girlies??

Re: Grey Stray


Quite possibly Fran. He seemed to be very friendly once he knew I wasn't going to hurt him, he even took some food from my fingers, and he was very gentle. I think he is quite young though, I reckon under 2 years old. He was having a great time in the garden running around and chasing leaves

I think this is the grey cat my OH saw asleep last winter under the eves of our bungalow, he went to have a look and the cat ran off.

I will keep an eye on him, and if I see him again I will try and feed him, if he keeps coming back, I will ask about locally and see if he is owned by any of the neighbours if he isn't I will either take him to my vets to see if he has been microchipped or take him to the RSPCA centre which is quite close. A cat like him will have no trouble finding a home. I think he would be a little love bug once he got to know you, I was amazed when he started to purr

My mum would love a grey cat, so if he comes back I will see if she is interested in taking him, if he isn't microchipped and he is indeed a stray.

No collar on him, thin, intact, young, does all point to him being a stray I think.

Re: Grey Stray


He looks a bit like Sweep, in thinness - the pose he's in is a bit treacherous for seeing it, but he looks like he has quite a skinny waist.

He is gorgeous, I hope he has, or finds a home soon

Yes Snoof he has got a very skinny waist, I will keep my eyes open for him, perhaps now I had fed him he won't be too frightened if he sees me again

Re: Grey Stray


He is lovely isn't he Yola My mum would fall for him straight away if she saw him and I think so would my dad, who loves cats.

He didn't seem to like the wet cat food much but he did have quite a few of the cat nuts.

Re: Grey Stray


He looks a lovely cat Emma and looks almost too good to be a stray......although I must agree he does look thin.....
