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

[now absolutely fucking furious emoticon]

Or feed the cat one of these, and let him visit one last time...

I totally remember this thread!

Can't believe it's been going in all this time.

Glitter litter tray?

JeffVaderRunsTheDeathStar · 19/01/2015 23:21

Oh my god did not expect this to still be going on

Keep us posted with how the move goes, bet they will be fuming. Weirdos.

TheIronGnome · 19/01/2015 23:26

Wow! What a story! You could write a book, or at least a DM article with a sad cat face.

Good luck in your new home! Any chance of the video you took appearing on YouTube anytime soon??

cozietoesie · 19/01/2015 23:32

Dear Goodness. I'd just let them stew.

Best of luck in the new home.

FightOrFlight · 19/01/2015 23:33

Could you have one of his turds coated in gold-coloured metal and attached to a small plinth? I think that would make a lovely ornament for them to remember him by.

Jux · 19/01/2015 23:34

Good luck in your new home! You'll need to keep him in for quite a few weeks after you move anyway, so with any luck by the time he goes out again he'll be settled enough to stay.

Did you ever get the Protect a Puss fencing HiddenHome mentioned?

cozietoesie · 19/01/2015 23:41

You've been a saint in this matter. After half the time that you've endured this, I think I'd have had to take..............direct action.

RubbishMantra · 20/01/2015 00:22

I like the idea of the gold plated shit. Then sending some blokes round to kill them. Grin

HarrietSchulenberg · 20/01/2015 00:28

I'd have to send them a goodbye card with a picture of the cat on it, photoshopped so it was sticking two "fingers" up at them, with a speech bubble saying, "So long suckers. And your house stinks of me".

Fluffycloudland77 · 20/01/2015 08:04

Dave, I'd put him in a cattery just in case he gets out by accident & they keep him in.

ChickyEgg · 20/01/2015 08:35

I wouldn't give them the tip off that you are going. A goodbye card On the day of moving, yes but not before!

Good luck in your new home Flowers

ASunnyTiger · 20/01/2015 08:41

Oh my goodness, just read the thread and I'm surprised you've not been driven to drink! Thank fuck you're moving! Don't tell them though, let them go a while wondering where your cat is and why it's not been to see them. Let her keep chucking chicken on the ground so it's left uneaten and goes foul. I'm Angry on your behalf, you just don't do this with other people's pets!

Ohfourfoxache · 20/01/2015 08:46

Fucking hell Shock

Ridiculous that this happened in the first place, but for it to have carried on for so long?

Was here ever any further action from the police?

I remember this whole sorry saga. Glad that the end is in sight now.

You have the patience of a saint!

Please let us know how the move goes and how dcat settles in the new house.

SilentCharisma · 20/01/2015 11:11

I'd love to see their faces when they realise you've moved!

DeliciousIrony · 20/01/2015 11:59

I've just read this whole thread - what a miserable saga for you! The wife in particular does sound quite unwell, I agree. I'm glad you're getting out - if possible, definitely warn the new occupiers about letting their pets loose!

GilbertBlytheWouldGetIt · 20/01/2015 13:32

whippetwoman · 20/01/2015 13:46

Wow, I remember this thread. Thank you so much for updating us. You must must MUST let us know how the move goes.

I can't believe you still have cat-based issues after all this time!

cozietoesie · 20/01/2015 13:47

I'd actually be warning the new occupiers (and the local sorting office) not to give out any forwarding address. The neighbours already sound unhinged and I wouldn't like to guess what will happen when they find out that the birds have flown and they have nothing to occupy their time.

Hopefully, it will all come to a head within that household and matters will be resolved locally one way or the other.

fuzzpig · 20/01/2015 14:21

You actually have to write "byeeee" in glitter on a photo. That's genius!

fuzzpig · 20/01/2015 14:23

(SomeSortOfDeliciousBiscuit, your name makes me smile - as I write I'm actually watching black books with my dad, I had an urge to watch the piano episode :o)

nunkspugget · 20/01/2015 15:30

I'd move, and then spend a pleasant few years months phoning them at all hours meowing and screaching and pretending to be the cat in terrible pain.
