I hope your new cat settles down in your home, Twinky.
No JBR, I think this is something they do to homeless cats to let other rescue groups know that they have already been neutered.. as you can't tell by just looking at the cat & they don't want them to keep being caught when they are already neutered.
In the case of Mr Grey, we can't be sure he will accept being homed by me, so they have done his ear to make sure others don't trap him!

I hope Mr Grey does move in with you, Twink, you have been caring for him for a long time now and, at least, he already knows the rest of the gang.

Re: I may end up with another cat!

Thank you all for your encouraging posts, but I will find it hard to relax till he starts coming back to my garden for dinner each day. I have to put his food a bit closer to my back door each day & check he eats it & I am hoping that by the autumn he will come through my cat flap ( which I will leave propped open) to get the food that I leave in the back hall.

He has been into the house once, but ran off when he saw me in the house.... so it may not be an easy job, but I won't give up easily as I want him to have warm shelter in the winter months!

Hi

Good for you Twink.

I am not a cat person, more a dog person.

Re: I may end up with another cat!

Twink, l think you need to sit your other cats down and break the news gently that they might have another brother!

You have told me so much about Mr Grey and he sounds a remarkable cat.

Kit, one of the other cats, has already made friends with him, so they should get on fine now he is neutered.
Rudi, the one with asthma hasn't wanted to go out, and it will be a long time before they meet, as Mr Grey will need access to outside... so he will live in the back hall and my study.
Tammy, the young female, will be the only one to dislike him, but even she has decided that going out is just a morning duty so she can chew some grass to prevent fur balls. She then returns to the lounge for a sleep!
Mr Grey's biggest problem will be learning to trust me when we are indoors together... but he seems fine when we are outside.
It will be hard work for a few months, but I think he is worth the effort!

Thanks Twinky. That makes a great deal of sense.
