These are visitors Colby and Lloyd, two neighborhood cats who may, or more than likely, may not have permanent homes somewhere in the area. They are both regular visitors here at the Colehaus Feeding Stations of Kibble-y Goodness. And until last weekend, both got along with each other perfectly fine. We have photographic proof!
Colby (name appointed by Mom) is a gloriously floofy and friendly orange and white boy who probably isn’t neutered and is uncapturable at this time. Twice last year, he had a good portion of his left cheek gouged in some kind of fight with something. While he’s now missing the fur from that side of his face, both incidents healed well on their own. From the amount of grease and oil on his tail, we suspect he lives under a car, possibly being stored in a backyard (there are several un-official backyard junkyards in this development). Mom has been unable to find his true home and no one lays claim to him.
Lloyd (real name unknown) is a friendly and handsome Lynx point Siamese boy with blue eyes who probably isn’t neutered and is also uncapturable at this time. He regularly shows up with minor scratches on his nose from some kind of fight with something. His scratched nose heals well on its own. Months ago, Mom saw him walking along a quiet sidewalk toward a well-to-do development over a quarter of a mile away. To date, Mom has been unable to find his true home.
Last weekend, both were caught fighting at our side yard feeding stations. Mom put an end to it by sticking her foot between the two and is very, very thankful she had thick shoes on. Colby attacked her shoe, nearly biting through it, and then, shot out the hole in our fence to parts unknown. Lloyd stayed a few minutes longer but was skittish and left shortly after.
Mom says she’ll break up any other fight she sees them in and isn’t sorry her shoe got bit. Using a broom, she once took on a rambunctious raccoon, and she says that was scarier.
Let’s now look at some nice cats who get along with each other.
Yes, Tessa and Quint sometimes have their moments when they aren’t fond of one another. That day isn’t today. Good kitties.

Here’s hoping that Colby and Lloyd are TNR’d soon, so their fighting days will be over.

there will probably be more set toos if they are both not neutered, and it is the time of year when they will be more territorial.
Is there a group in your area you could call to help TNR these two?
Yes, but with conditions. Someone must be here during the entire time in order to trap and trap the correct cat. We aren’t able to do that at this time. 🙁
We hope Colby and Lloyd can be captured and neutered at some point. We bet that will help cut down on potential fights. Good job, Tessa and Quint. XO
It’s so hard to be feral/semi-feral. I hope someone can trap and neuter them someday.
