She contacted a local rescue who immediately set about nursing him back to health. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The cat in question; named Aslan by the rescue, was extremely cooperative. Not only did he alert the lady to his presence, he then walked into the rescuer&#8217;s carrier of his own volition and cooperated with a vet who had to assess his condition. This indicates he had, at some point, had interactions with people. <br><br>Unfortunately, this boy had neither been neutered nor microchipped. So if he did live with a family, the rescue had no way of tracing them. <br><br>The rescue believes if Aslan hadn&#8217;t made people aware of his presence when he did, he would have been unlikely to make it through the winter due to his health issues. <br><br>Aslan is now safe, and his conditions are being managed to get him back into peak condition. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/metro.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/PRI_177769667.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;zoom=1&amp;resize=540%2C720\" alt=\"Sick and cold stray cat knocks on woman's window begging for help\"\/><figcaption><em>Picture source: One Cat At A Time, Metro online.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Following on from the previous blog is another example in the news of the intelligence levels in cats.
