He Never Considered Himself A Cat Person Until He Saw A Stray Cat, Skinny To The Point Of Being Emaciated, Wander Through His Yard.

Just over a year ago he noticed a skinny stray cat running back and forth through his yard.

Up until that day he had never thought of himself as a cat person. Nor was he to know how much of an impact this stray was to have on his life in the coming days and months.

Talking to a neighbor, Lex was told there were quite a few strays roaming the streets, most people just left them alone, which was exactly what Lex decided to do with his stray.

Until one day he noticed something that concerned him. From time to time the cat would jump up onto Lex’s porch, this was when he saw how skinny he was getting. So skinny it was to the point of being emaciated!

Being a kind-hearted soul, Lex wanted to help out. The only problem was this cat was terrified of humans!

“He was absolutely terrified of me. I would leave out a can of tuna right on my deck because he looked hungry. He was still super afraid,” the compassionate “non-cat person” describes in an interview with The Dodo.

Though there was no way the cat would ever get close to Lex, Lex knew there was also no way he would turn down a meal.

Wanting to make sure the cat at least had enough to eat, he place a food bowl along with a water dish on his patio.

That way the cat could come and go as pleased and help himself whenever he needed it.

And that is exactly what happened. The cat soon worked out there was always food and freshwater on Lex’s porch, and he became a regular visitor. Lex would try to sit close when the stray made an appearance, letting him know he posed no threat. The cat though was always a little wary.

“He would just eat out of his little food and water bowl outside of my house. And if he noticed me on the other side of the glass, he would run away,” he explains.

The stray would never allow Lex to come too close, but he still worried about him lacking protection from the elements and decided to build him a little house of his own. Inside he placed some old sheets for the cat to snuggle into, and that very night something amazing happened.
