This rumbles on and on, so far have done the following;

asked nicely
got cross
written letters
telephoned
offered to get them a cat (they don't want one)
kept cat indoors, except for 15 mins in morning

but they are STILL feeding mine who is greedy and if I'm not on the ball during his 15 min morning run will be let into their house and not let out until I telephone to ask them to let him out.

Apparently, they used to keep a cat and for sentimental reasons they keep his bowls and 'put a little food down' which my cat nibbles on YET they have done everything they reasonably can NOT to feed my cat

Fantastic! Now, lock him up. Wink

Wow, amazing news! Glad he is back. I hope your neighbour doesn't notice he is back for a while - I'm sure you won't be mentioning his return to them!

So glad you've got him back. [busmile]

lurkedtoolong · 30/03/2013 19:12

Such good news. Tie the little bugger to the sofa and don't let him out of your sight ever again.

So happy for you Wine

coughingbean · 30/03/2013 19:28

Yay!!!

AbyCat · 30/03/2013 19:31

Aw, thats fabulous news, I was only wondering the other day if you'd found him. So pleased you have him safely home again.

Lovethesea · 30/03/2013 20:04

So pleased he is safe and well. I still think letting him explore with the wind, sun and rain in his beautiful coat is worth the risk.

I've lost cats to the road and I've had cats that disappeared years ago and it's awful, but IMHO I see the joy mine get in being outside so I have to risk the loss so they can live to the full. It's not like they worry about it living in the moment as they do!

BreatheandFlyAway · 30/03/2013 22:53

[busmile] was watching this thread with concern and am very glad you have your dcat back Wine

Cuddlydragon · 30/03/2013 22:59

[bugrin] very good news, really pleased for you.

Toadinthehole · 31/03/2013 00:27

Hooray for you Grin

BTW, re detention of the cat by the awful neighbours - couldn't you bring an action in the small claims court without paying using a lawyer? Apologies if this has already been discussed.

SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius · 31/03/2013 14:14

Has your mad neighbour noticed that the cat is back yet?

diddl · 31/03/2013 14:55

Hoorah!

He is absolutely beautiful!

Could you cat proof part of your garden?

riskit4abiskit · 31/03/2013 15:31

This is such and interesting thread, glad your cats back.

If the neighbours start again I would repeatedly phone ss with ' concerns ' about their behaviour, funny noises you hear etc. Also if they are throwing food outside I would phone council as attracting rats would be a huge problem. I would also do the phoning every half hour too, taking pictures through the window etc.

Do they have any visiting relatives ever, perhaps they would be more reasonable?

GobTheGoblin · 31/03/2013 15:33

Thank goodness he's home. He's a beautiful cat.

ClaudiaCutie · 31/03/2013 18:51

What a dreadful shame he didn't get a run built for him two years ago, think of the grief and shouting and angst and police time and letters etc etc that could have been saved if the back garden had been cat proofed!
