Since his weekend, there has been an orange fluffy kitty hanging around my complex, meowing loudly. Yesterday he accosted me loudly as I was leaving the house. he was very friendly, but has clearly been outside for some time. I took pity and set out some food and watr for hi as I went off to school. he was back this morning, and followed me and Jola up the steps as I brought her out, and hung around for a while, meowing again. I went back out and petted him - he is smelly and gross, as tends to happen with longhair kitties who are outside for much time. He also has a balding (mange?) patch on his head. I left him some milk, and came back in.,

Apparently I didn't close the door properly because a few minutes later he was poking his head in my study o_O Stealth kitty - J didn't even notice until I'd picked him up (to be fair, she was sleeping on the bed in another room). Picked him up, tried to put him out, he ran back in! Well, kitty, you are very sweet and all, but this is not a good day for me to deal with you! I did give him a better look over, and considered trying to bath him, but decided against as I was wearing short sleeves :p

Oh, what to do, what to do.... I have no doubts he'll be back :p he s very loud and meowy, as I've said, but Mittens has soured me a bit on having a kitty for the moment :p He's definitely a 'he', and is probably an adolescent kitty. He isn't terribly thin, either, so I doubt he is too malnourished. Who knows re: worms and such though :/ I'm not comfortable bringing him in the house (well, on purpose) if he might have mange though...

In other news, today is my first day of actual teaching. Wish me luck!
