He couldn't eat and walk at all, he had slept by the window all day long.
I took him to the vet and was diagnosed as " Inflamation of bile ducts".
He got a drip a day at the vet clinic, then he recovered entirely.
The vet said " He is quite bad. His blood test result is terribly bad and you should take him soon again when he doesn't eat at home."

It was planned by Anno director, who is the director of the famous animation "Evangerion", to make a movie of FSX by traditional Japanese FSX movies method without any CG.
I love Japanese FSX movies, KAIJU, like Gojilla, Gamera, or heroes like Ultraman, and others.

When people complained about troubles caused by stray cats, we tell them the effect of TNR and how to get along well with stray cats.
In many case, one or two feeders feed stray cats without spay/neuter and people have troubles with poop of increasing cats.
