Seems like a fine question to me. We found him in a little pile of hand towels in a middle turning lane of a 4 lane road in my city. We assumed someone slowed down a bit and dropped him out of a moving car.

That's a very strange way to get rid of a cat. I'm glad you found him.
Dumb question: but how does someone know if a cat was abandoned or if they never had a human companion?
Sorry, friend. Getting used to Lemmy so I responded in a whole other comment.
Usually, when a cat hasn't met humans before they stay away from them. That doesn't always go, as some shy away from humans they don't know or when they have been abused.
When a cat approaches a human or at least doesn't shy away that's a good sign they at least had contact before.
Makes sense to me. He hissed and swatted plenty at first but it didn't take too long to warm up to us.
RAGE. In the middle of a busy road. So they wanted the poor baby dead but were too fucking cowardly to do it themselves. I hate people. Have your pets spayed or neutered, folks.
Don't get me wrong, I'm ecstatic that you saved him. I just hate irresponsible pet owners and people who are that callous towards the life of an innocent creature.
Those eyes! <3
