Out for a walk with the missus and a cat has followed us all the way home (a couple of miles)

He (she?) is really skinny, but scabby round the ears and eyes, no collar.

Looks like he may have belonged to someone at some point but has definelty been neglected for a while.

We've brought him in and given him some food, he seems perfectly happy and comfortable.

We'll take him to the vet tomorrow to see if he's chipped and then potentially we'll keep him as a house cat if he's ownerless.

What's the advice of the floor?

I've got some cat litter sorted now and put some paper down just in case.

Will update tomorrow but he seems so friendly and relaxed for now, really affectionate too smile

First night was fine, did his business in the litter tray and was no trouble.

Even sat on our laps and had a fuss for an hour or two.

Been to the vet this morning - turns out he is chipped, his name is Alfie and he's 12.

The rightful owners are picking him up from the vets now frown

ETA: We'd already named him "keith" so perhaps a lucky escape for our feline friend.
