it might be as it has not eaten in a very long time and is rundown and could get sick I would bring it in the house keep it in the box and a raccoon could attack it and kill and placing food outside can attracts other animals at nite,we have 2 cats and they are both indoor cats,it is alot healthier for a cat indoor than out doors and they can be trained very easily to use a litter box, a friend of mine who is a vet told me this and they also live longer if kept inside
