Ugh, one of the local feral strays is currently dying in my backyard. He's a mess, looks like system failure. He's an unfixed, ornery, mange-y, mean, "mark everything" jerk of a stray who has attacked our yard cat, but that doesn't mean I want him to die. He found enough energy to drag himself just inside our fence into the shade, and hasn't moved for hours, barely breathing. Bastard. I hope he goes comfortable and quietly in the night, and I hope that none of the other cats or possums bother him before then...
