Two years ago in January we got a lurcher puppy. The foster home she had been born into had cats and she had learnt to leave those alone, and our cats (7/8 years ) were used to our old dog, so I assumed that with some careful introductions, it would all work out in the end.
Unfortunately, it didn't. The Lurcher barked at the cats from her crate and they moved out to live in the utility room ( cat door gives them access to it without having to brave dogs). We were upset by this but as The Lurcher grew, she started to chase them and so a pattern was set. They would still come into the utility room and sleep and eat there, so we at least knew they were safe.
Then, over a few weeks, they stopped coming into the utility room. It was summer, so we weren't hugely bothered but in September of last year,one of our across-the -road neighbours knocked on the door and asked if I knew who owned the black and ginger cats were that had arrived on her doorstep.
I explained the situation and she said they looked hungry, so she'd been feeding them. She'd just lost an old cat, so I asked if she was happy with the arrangement and she said she wasn't, and started complaining about the ginger one sitting n her windowsill. She said she doesn't let them inside but I've seen them on the inside windows of her house.
I apologised, and suggested she just not feed them, so they would came back to us for food. She said she didn't want to see them hungry so would continue ot feed them. We have a huge sack of Burns in the utility room, so I offered her that but she declined. I told her if she had any concerns about them she must tell me.
Over the last year, we've seen very little of either cat, but about a month ago she arrived on my doorstep saying she was thinking about not feeding them anymore. I said that was fine, but perhaps do it then before it gets really cold and I'll start putting out food at out front door to make sure they get something. She then muttered about how she didn't like to see them hungry, and again I offered to provide her with food.
She has just turned up on my doorstep saying she's not feeding them anymore and we'll have to do something about them. 
There is not much we can do really, just put out food for them and make sure they have somewhere warm to sleep. I don't think they will come inside again because of the dog :( but perhaps we can persuade them to come back into the utility room again.
I'm really pissed off because I think she should have stopped feeding them ages ago, not just before winter sets in.
I'm thinking of trying to rehome them if we can catch them, but it's not that they are unwanted, it's just they hate the dog .
AIBU to be annoyed?
