I took Chaos on morning chores.
He is the dog-i-est cat ever. Followed me all over. Comes when called. Had to sniff everything.
he left a little trough-trail all over because his belly drags in the snow.

Good morning lovely people

My outside cat Oliver is such a soft touch with a neglected kitten.
He's given up his bed for him and 9 times out of ten he leaves him food in his own dish.

Last night Oliver squashed himself into the kitten bed then waited and watched over him while the kitten ate.

I know why, because of a greedy spoilt cat that lives a road up that takes their food away at any opportunity he can. I caught him trying too take Olivers, but then chased him off.
Oliver knew I wouldn't hurt him so kept on eating whilst I stepped over him playing the protective feral cat for him.

Sometimes Oliver graces my home with his presence. But only as long as I leave my door open for him to exit 😆 the daft cat.

Oliver says, have good day everyone

Update on the little kitten 😸 💕

Finally I have had contact from a lovely lady, she's willing to help this little treasure. It's been really touch and go here. I never thought I would ever see the end of this dark tunnel.

As a tiny kitten when my dog was still with me we both saw this baby hanging onto a window sill in an upstairs flat. 😢

In this accommodation they had two large dogs one of them came at me and went to attack my dog which I quickly picked up.
Had their neighbour not intervened. We could have both landed up dead.

Somehow this kitten found me. I seriously think Oliver had something to do with this. Because he's given up his kennel for this cat, that I call Clarry.

The people that neglected him now has another dog. They never walk them and judging from the condition of Clarry I doubt they even feed them very well

Clarry was all bones when he got here.
I'm ashamed too admit I tried to chase him off at first because of Oliver not being able to rest or eat his meals. But as I attempted this Oliver suddenly appeared and the kitten ran to him rubbing around him as if Oliver was it's mother.
It was then a realised that Oliver cared very much about his survival.

As said above we have now found support.

So after his meal this morning I have taken inside until this sweet lady arrives at around 5pm.

He's purring loudly now after being terrified.
If I wasn't so old and frail I would keep him with me.

He fast becoming a little podge. A far cry from the bones and fur that came to me.

As @digitS' suggested I add vegetables to their food, carrots squash or sweet potato. They love chicken but I try to give them turkey as much as possible. So it's turkey mince for supper before he leaves.
