On 18 Dec, a very large cat showed up at our house. It was late and cold, and he looked in the door and made it clear he wanted inside. Well, since we have two cats already and he was a stranger, we could not let him in the house. WLToo walked out and the cat ran to him, so he walked the cat into the garage and into the climate controlled room out there.
He was extremely hungry and thirsty, but in otherwise good condition and very clean. We fixed up a bed for him, set up the feeding and elimination stations, and went to bed.
Next day, we worked in the garage all day, while the big guy slept or supervised. We found him to be an intact male, no sign he's ever worn a collar, and he has a strong need to be in the general vicinity of humans. For an intact male, he's remarkably mellow - I don't think he was the alpha cat in his previous home.
Have had zero responses to the "found cat" notices around the area and online, so we'll be working with the local rescues to get him neutered and all his shots, then find him a home. We can't keep him because he's just too big for our two cats to share our small house. Alex would have another emotional meltdown, and I don't want to go through that mess again (long, ugly story).
For now, we're calling him Spot, not that he answers to it (does answer to "Kitty, Kitty"). No idea how he travels; we'll find out when we take him to the vet on Tuesday.
If anyone knows of someone who would like a large (about 15-18 pounds) cat who needs to be with people, please let me know. No cat novices, please; this cat needs someone who knows exactly how to handle an adult cat of this size, especially when he's feeling frisky.
We're at Canyon Lake, TX, so if there are any Winter Texans nearby who would like to meet him and maybe give him a home, that would be great.

My wife has a latex allergy and can't use some of the bandage adhesives. Hoping your hubs gets some helpful pain relief. Weather bothers my joints but nothing drastic. Keeping him in prayer. Poor Czarny man can't enjoy his kingdom. He probably thinks those birds are pterodactyls.
Longmire Days are enjoyable in a laid back kind of way. I recommend getting the series in a dvd set so you can binge at your leisure. It's really better to be able to watch two or more episodes in one sitting.
A bit broody, plot twists, some murder and mayhem action yet punctuated with humor. Not a stereotypical western drama. Some philosophical conversations between friends (remember the asymptote).
The old retired sheriff played by Peter Weller is one of my favorite characters in the series. Pure cowboy poetry in motion.
