He's always been unfaithful.. from his first days out he snook into other houses and assumed they were all his to wander, and after he got trapped in a neighbour's for 5 days his sister never accepted him again... hisses at him if she sees him.
He has had three regular houses for years now, ours, two doors down and Thelma 4 doors down. Despite his sister, and then a dog (which he just ignored) he was still coming home, but then a stray (who is fed by everyone and sleeps in neighbour no 1's shed in a cat bed!) decided to try and move in and literally fought Obie every time he came to he door. After a couple of months of this he started coming home less often (we stopped feeding the stray but it makes no difference..he lurks outside ) Obie quit.. and has moved in mostly with Thelma but still goes into no 1's as well.
I'm gutted..but there isn't a lot I can do.. he prefers Thelma's..she's retired, home nearly all day and he loves her. I can't make her kick him out (she did ask if I wanted her to) because he is happy there.
But she can't afford his twice a year £300 sedated shave bill, even if she took on the vaccinations and I feel I have a moral responsibility to get all his needs met even if I haven't seen him for months.
I'm stuck paying for a cat whom I love but has dumped us!
Ophie is very pleased that her brother has finally left :( (she's not keen on the dog but they have come to a mutual understanding... glare and ignore!)
No real point to posting but I miss him :(
