I am Concerned about a local cat
So there lives a cat around our street. She used to always sit on the lawn of one of my neighbours, and acted rather skittish. But the last few months, she has been looking pretty rough, missing ear, bloodstains? weird brown bump on the forehead, sticky fur under the chin. What concerns me is that she remains dirty, which, as far as i am aware, is a pretty bad sign for a cat, for they usually groom them self. Furthermore, after whatever happened, her behaviour changed drastically. she went from skittish, to approaching. she actively seeks out pets and attention. She can be found aimlessly roaming all over the place. but still around her (old?) home. I have not seen her owner, or the owners car in ages too. but lights in the house are on. Has anyone encountered similar situations? should i call the house and ask about the cat personally? or perhaps simply notify animal safety authorities? I live in Germany, baden wuertemberg. around stuttgart.
