We live in a small quiet street in a rural village I am the resident crazy cat lady. I currently have four if my own but we have a number of drop ins that use my house as a hostel for disenfranchised felines. This is fine with me.
We've recently acquired a new visitor, who's stays seem to be getting longer and more frequent. He's a gorgeous little thing, looks part Bengal, probably only 8-9 months old and has palled up with my terminally stupid hand-reared boy.
For ages we weren't sure who he belonged to, he has sported a succession of attractive collars that he promptly ditches, but he's clearly a loved pet. The other day my husband spotted him in the window of the one house on the street who's occupants we don't really know.
I kind of want to go and say hi and explain that if they think their cat us missing, he's probably in my house. We aren't encouraging him to stay, but I frequently come home from a day out and find him cosied up on my sofa so he's making himself at home regardless, and if it was my cat id appreciate knowing where he'd disappeared to and that he was somewhere where people would be kind to him but weren't trying to steal him.
However my husband thinks I'm a bloody nutter and that if they let him out, they take their chances that he'll end up in other people's houses or off on a jolly. AIBU or U.S. Dh right and I've descended into madness?
