Argh. Maybe trapping this cat is a bad idea. I’ll try to get a good picture and put it on the lost pet sites or something. (Don’t use FB anymore.)

Edit: I confirmed with someone who worked in cat rescue, he would likely be euthanised at a shelter as soon as he hissed. So I guess if he doesn’t have an owner to save him I’ll just have to provide food and whatever coolth I can engineer without being able to let him inside. Try and soften him up and hopefully find some sort of solution at some point.
