Cats do do this. Ours did.
One of our neighbours had a cat that would visit her home and she would feed it now and again and would want to make itself at home. She would take the cat back to its owners and then a few days later it would return. She took it back one day and the people who owned it had moved - she now owns the cat.
I think it’s a big no no that you feed somebody else’s cat. We had friends who had that done to them by their neighbours and fell out big time as their cat would spend more time away than at home.
Is she just thick or do you think it was a calculated move to steal the cat?
They should have fed it properly.
Whilst you couldn't tell an old lady that it was wrong the fact is feedings somebody else's cat is 100% wrong. Cats don't starve they are as greedy as dogs when it comes to eating and it's that independent streak which can tempt a cat away from what are probably loving owners. And I get your comment but the fact remains that a cat is a household pet that is owned by somebody that loves it and they are often very important companions for people - most are not ferrel as you imply by a comment such as "nobody owns a cat".They should have fed it properly.
There is a cat that calls at my dad's every other day and he feeds it. He's even named it Titty Wink's - How do you you tell an 89 year old what he is doing is wrong.
No one ever owns a cat, they are independent creatures and do not seek attention or affection in the same way as dogs and can be quite selective about who they want to interact with. We have a few kicking about our back that come and go but I don't mind. The odd one will come for a stoke and others are more aloof. We live on a cut and they help to keep the vermin down.
No, she's a caring animal lover who fed a cat that had spent time sleeping in her greenhouse. She then took the time to find its owner and returned the cat. The owner is the one you should be aiming your faux outrage at.
I'm not implying they are ferrel, I am saying that not all cats show loyalty.
Correct especially if somebody else starts to give them scran.
If a cat had spent days sleeping in your greenhouse and had mange (something I never put in my first post), would you have tried to care for it?
Then clearly that cat specifically had not been cared for and its owners didn't deserve their cat. I was talking generally about feeding cats if they were skulking around for food - something I feel strongly about as it can deprive loving owners of their pets.
Exactly, you have shown you understand that cats are not loyal like dogs. Therefore, surely you can make the leap that feeding them could easily lead them astray?They should have fed it properly.
