We have a beautiful black and white cat that seems to have been hanging around our street and the school (which is behind our street) for what must be over a month, it seems to be increasingly desperate to get in anyone's house or garage - I initially thought it was just one of those cats who plagues its neighbours but I have asked all newcomers that I am aware of and any other neighbour I catch if anyone knows who it belongs to, everyone seems to recognise it as the cat that just seems to hang around but no-one knows who it belongs to. It has decided that it likes our house and tries to get in whenever we open the door - sits looking at us through the patio doors and keeps getting into our garage whenever we go in there. It has been there constantly for about a week. I have been loath to feed it as I was hoping it belonged to someone and it would just go home but I did give in and fed it last night with some of that dried complete food and it was so desperate to eat it that it was taking massive mouthfuls of the stuff.
My question is what you would do - we cannot take it in as dh is allergic to cats, I am loath to take it to the RSPCA or Cats Protection in case it does belong to someone. I am thinking of taking it to the vets to see if it has been microchipped (unlikely but possible) and possibly taking it's picture and advertising for it's owner to contact me - what do you think?? It is a shame as it is a beautiful, very friendly cat who just seem to be crying out for some warmth and affection.
Appreciate your thoughts.
