STRAY CAT VERY THIN-SICK OR MALNOURISHED?

Another stray cat started hanging around our house a couple of weeks ago. (the first one from a year ago we adopted and is great!) This one is a young(4 or 5 mos) calico, medium hair with a fluffy tail. It is still a little too fearful to capture and take to a vet, but is getting tamer every day. My concern is it is very thin. I gave it an OTC wormer and have been feeding it well for about 10 days. How long for it to put some meat on its bones if it is just malnourished? It's eyes are clear, nose and mouth look good, and doesn't appear sick otherwise. Another thing is it doesn't bury it's poop, it just walks away from it on top of the dirt. Is this normal for some cats? Seems like it would be tough to litter train if we decide to let it in the house. Any advice appreciated. Bob
