Whisky broke up a potential fight between this spotted cat (whom I have never seen before) with the resident tomcat (Felix's father). As the cat was cornered, I took the risk of petting it and it didn't seem to mind. So I took a bigger risk by scruffing it and it just hung limp. Seizing this opportunity, I checked and found it to be a male cat, probably no older than 8 months.

I put him into a carrier and made an appointment to have him neutered the same evening (I caught him in the morning).
That was on Thursday, 28 April 2011. I released him on Sunday but he refuses to leave, rubbing all over my legs everytime he sees me (which makes me feel like a giant catnip). I decided to name him Boomerang since he comes back everytime I throw him out. LOL.

| Boomer takes his role as guardcat very seriously |
It does feel really nice to have a "bodyguard" everytime I go outside. He follows me everywhere I go! We feed him twice a day and he has a clean bowl of water to drink from.

| This is Felix's dad and the current resident Tomcat. I'm still trying to capture him to get him neutered but he is very wary of humans. He used to be a very handsome cat when he first arrived but with all the fighting to maintain his territory, his face is now riddled with scars. |
Felix's father was brought to the neighbourhood by a new neighbour almost 2 years ago. The neighbour didn't have him neutered and allowed him to roam and now they do not even feed him. We hear him calling and fighting almost on a daily basis now that another intact male (black cat) has started challenging his territory.
