He's been an outdoor cat for so long. A fella that sits on car bonnets to keep warm as soon as we pull up. He's 19 and obviously good at looking out for himself to last that long since she chucked him out for weeing and pooping in the house about 10 years ago.
He's nervous, but when it was cold my son managed to entice him to a warm place on the telephone table in the hall.
She's now stopped feeding him (outside) because she's assumed that he's our cat now and we've got no cat food. If I wanted a cat I'd not chose a 19 year old one but he's a little life that deserves respect.
What the hell can I give him? We're non meat eaters but have a tin of salmon. I can't see him cold and hungry.
I've never had a pet/animal apart from a fish that died when I was watching the 'Golden Shot' when I was 5.
The AIBU is why should I pay for cat food because neighbour has taken umbrage or sees an opportunity to save a couple of quid a week?
I can't afford it either as not yet met Mr Micawber's definition of Happiness.
Cat has just scoffed half an Aldi burger - that can't be good for him. Aldi burger is DHs choice of lunch. I'd kick him DH out in the cold for that if I could.
