Should I feed a neighbours cat?

[hammocity]

I've mentioned on BM before I feed a neighbours cat. Been feeding it almost every day since last Christmas. It was a bag a bones then and very timid. Any sudden noise or movement from me and she was scared stiff.

Thing is my ex Mrs has 4 cats nowadays and she says the cat (my youngest has named 'sweets') may have food allergies.

It's at my door early morning and late afternoon so if it's owner is feeding it can't be getting much food. I fed it I've of those poncy posh gourmet tubs earlier and sweets wolfed it back, poor thing. My ex Mrs cats won't eat it but sweets looked like she enjoyed it.

I'd like to adopt it and give her owner a piece of my mind as I hate animal cruelty, although I can't prove its being neglected and suffering cruelty

Thoughts?

I’m not an animal lover, the only “pets” I’ve had have been a rabbit (no not one of those), a terrapin and a racing greyhound. However, I came home from the pub a couple of years ago on a very cold evening and for some reason a kitten was sat at my door shivering, Mrs H said the kitten would find its way home. I wasn’t so sure and brought it into the house, put a blanket in a linen basket, gave it some milk and left it overnight in a warm room. I think I did the right thing because that cat is always knocking about on our avenue. I don’t know who owns it or if it’s a stray but it’s well nourished and seemingly healthy. Is it natural for a kitten to shiver and would it have survived that cold evening? I’ve no idea.

Keep feeding the cat, you can’t be doing her any harm by the sounds of it.

I've modified my shed so our neighbours cat can sleep in it. He regularly eats at our house and sometimes sleeps during the day if a window or door has been open. We even buy him separate cat food as he doesn't like the felix stuff we give our cats.

I was close to going round the neighbours and telling them they're a bunch of twats, good job I didn't. Turns out they've been worried sick about him as he's hardly at home, somehow they found out we were looking after him. They bought a puppy about 18 months ago and although their other cat doesn't seem to mind him it seems that Stanley (the cats name) hasn't took well to a new pet in the house. We've agreed to watch over him and keep him fed (which they didn't offer any money for) but anything serious that needs vet attention then it's on them.

Feed it to what?

I remember Bouncer the Neighbours dog but no Neighbours cat.

Like clockwork she turned up at my backdoor this morning meowing for food.
And like a soft bastard that I obviously am, I fed her.

I'm getting quite attached to sweets.

No, you're wrong Bigg fella. I went round to Bigfoot's last Friday for some benefits. She thought I was ace. Just call me Top cat; )

Or just call it date rape :)

Depend how old it was,i'm always surprised at people letting very young cats not long away from their mums out on their own,as it was shivering you probably saved it's life

That’s makes me feel quite good!! Perhaps I’m a bit more of an animal lover than I thought I was. I just couldn’t leave the poor thing out on a night like that, cheers for that.

'Sweets' was waiting for me to feed her again this morning at my backdoor. I duly fed her as I have been doing for for the last 8 months and she went on her way.

Got home this evening and she was waiting for me again. Got out of the car and she was soaked wet through meowing for food. Let her in and filled up a plate with a sachet of catfood and a handful of dried food.

I have been meaning to knock on her owners door and have a word. She's not malnourished as I have been feeding her, I'm not sure she's suffering animal cruelty even though she's very timid and spooks easily. However, it seems to me that she's being neglected by her owners, that's if she still has an owner.

I'm concerned as I can't stand animal cruelty. It's best I try and have a word with her owners if I can, right?

People have very different attitudes to cats mate. We treated ours like fucking royalty, and I still remember a friend who grew up on a farm thinking we were mad even letting them in the house.

Animals pick up on the atmosphere instantly. It is very possible the owners are "civil" but still at each others throats. One of them may not like the cat and reject it all the time, not letting it rub against their leg etc. That could be enough to see the cat look for affection elsewhere.

Cat's are also sly buggers and it could just be after more grub.

She knows where to come to when she's hungry, muggins here.

She's definitely sly. Everytime she spots me in the kitchen whilst she's on a fence opposite mine she's over like a shot. Meowing for food and rubbing up on my leg purring. I'm a sucker. Never was a cat lover as such but I'm getting quite fond of sweets as is my youngest daughter: )

No.
Buy some lion shit.
Chuck it on the garden.
Neighbours cat vanished.

No.... I'd rather buy a Lion bar and shove it up your arse to see how long it takes you to shit it and vanish.

So our cat, also a rescue, is scared of most everything — except sleeping on me at night. Then she’s got no issues. She’s nine and never lost that timidity. We had a crazy lady in our neighborhood who left food out for all the cats on the street u til she finally stopped when the police asked her not to. Why? Because first the raccoons would eat it. Then because coyotes would hang around in the bushes and wait for a cat to saunter by, then attack it. But I love cats, and would probably feed a stray, though I’d definitely talk to your neighbors in this case.

Incidentally our cat, named by my daughter, is called Chessie. Short for Manchester. Short for Manchester Kitty, of course.
