Mr Tom is the friendliest of the colony cats, and my neighbor’s favorite. Because of that, he received special treatment after his neuter, getting set up in our upstairs room for a couple days, rather than being in a trap until the anesthesia wears off. He eats and drinks and uses the litter box, so the prolonged inside time is OK for him. He’ll even let me scratch his chin. The more feral cats, who will not eat or drink while in our care, are better released. He is a beautiful boy too, a long haired flame point siamese with striking blue eyes.
