There’s this stray cat that always hangs around my house. I’m pretty sure he’s a male but I haven’t gotten so close I could tell. I named him Baloo (from the jungle book) and I always see him hanging around my cats and I really wanna gain his trust.

Is there any way I can do that- I give him a little handful of food ever time I see him and I have noticed that he is rly skinny.

I’m able to pet him if he’s eating but he’s to shy other wise (I can get close though)

I also saw he has a scratch on his nose (not the best pictures) but it’s the same on the other side of his nose too- should I be worried bc he looks fine but idk I worry some times

I also wonder if anyone could estimate his age because he’s definitely older then 2 but younger then 12 ish. My guess is around 5 but i don’t know

Any info helps and I would love to befriend him (maybe adopt him one day) so tell me what u can do!
