there is a cat outside, and this is the story

about two days ago (give or take, i am not stellar with the passage of time thing) at night i began to hear this horrible meowing. it was about three in the morning so I assumed I was just making up weird sounds in my head, I was about three-quarters asleep then, you see. It didn't help me sleep, however.
nonetheless, this was my introduction to this (possibly stupid, probably otherwise) cat that's plagued me for a little while now.
the next day i discovered it was in fact a real cat. a woman living next to me heard it and was trying to rescue it from a wall that divided our two yards. (the wall is made of cinderblocks, you see, and so they're hollow.)
She and my brother got the thing out and it bolted. We assumed it was goodbye forever.
Last night, I hard the meowing again. Very loud this time. Right near my (god damn) window. This was before I went to bed, but as it was dark I couldn't see the cat anywhere, so I resolved to wait until morning. (Bad idea, I think got three hours of sleep last night!) I went and got it out of the same wall (rescued, if you will, although I'm not feeling the gratitude) again this morning. I made sure to not let it bolt and took it home, leaving me with this kitten.
It would not shut up. The whole time it meowed. Violently. We fed it some tuna, and it continued meowing through it's mouthfuls of food. (Muffled and hilarious)
It seemed pretty healthy, and didn't look feral. Good coat and weight and all. Cute little black kitty, with white paws. My mom hypothesized that it was meowing to find it's mother. It's pretty young. But it got away again, and is now hovering around my house because we gave him tuna, and he has not stopped meowing! God that little thing is loud. I can hear him now!

We'd try to find it's owner, but we can't catch him again. We kinda just want him to leave, but it's too late for that. (The tuna sealed his love for our yard, although not necessarily for us)
Isn't that story cute? And what the hell do I do?! I want to sleeeeep

 

no it's not cute, that fuckin cat doens't shut it's little bastard mouth. i'm not a cat lover anyway. however, i do think it's ntrue that the tuna sealed your fate with the tuna, but i don't get why it hasn't lost it's voice from meowing so much, and you haven't seen any signs that say missing kitten or anything?

 

call animal control

 

Get a litter box,bring it inside and give it some love.That'll fix it.

 

do you want to have a cat?
don't bring it to an animal shelter.

 

I'd keep him but the landlord says no. (Which is a drag, what I really want is a dog) And I can't catch him, anyway, so putting up signs or responding to them is out of the question.
He's still hovering around my yard I suppose I'm in cat limbo

 

You know what I'd do? I'd run an ad in the classifieds section of the local paper--most newspapers would have a Lost and Found section, I'm sure--say something like "Found--black male kitten with white paws--call to identify"--then list your phone number and post the ad--hopefully, the owner will call and come get the little guy! That approach is definitely better than taking the cat to an animal shelter--I'd hate to see something bad happen to him!

 

Somebody obviously dumped some half grown cats around here this morning.They were really cute,friendly and confused .I was going to feed them ,but something startled them and they disappeared.Fuckers piss me off that don't fix their animals and then just dump the results to fend for themselves.

 

well just don't do what this idiot where i live, who has a local call in radio told someone on the air to do about their "cat problem! the jackass on the radio, told them, to throw poisoned chicken or tuna over the fience, to kill off the mother and her kittens, in order to solve his "cat problem."

needless to say, all the cat lovers here are on the warpath over that stupid suggestion!
how in the hell can some people be so dense and dumb!
