A starved male stray cat came wandering in my yard 10 days ago. You can count every bone on this poor cats body and he only has 2 teeth in his whole mouth (1 bottom fang and 1 top fang on the opposite side). He is always sticking his tongue out and he breaths extremely heavy. My husband and I have been feeding him soft cat food and giving him plenty of water. We made a soft, warm bed for him, but we can't let him inside as I have inside cats and I'm afraid they might get sick from the stray. I've been calling him mufasa after the Lion King. He is a very loveable cat and loves for you to pet his chest. My question is: what can I do to help this cat without taking him to the vet as I don't have the money for a vet bill? Please help with some advice if at all possible. Oh and even though he only has 2 teeth, he still tries to eat hard cat food, should I take that away from him or keep giving it to him along with his soft canned food?
