I live next door but 1 to a young woman with 2 gorgeous dcats.
She works ft but has family check on the dcats every week day.
I am retired and have lots of time on my hands. I have 2 dcats and 1 ddog. I started feeding her dcats a couple of years ago. They are very timid compared to mine. Took me a while but with food and plenty of treats I had them coming in for breakfast every morning.. I even feed ddog outside now so they aren't scared off...As it was becoming quite costly feeding 4 I mentioned to YW how much they were costing me. She wasn't forthcoming with cash towards the food. In fact she asked that I didn't feed them. As she works all day I feel they need more company so have kept feeding them. Sadly 1 was ill YW told me. So I swapped their food and YW hasn't mentioned it since. To confirm to YW her dcats are neglected I told her other people in our cul-de-sac are fed up of them coming into their homes... Not sure if they are but feel she needs to either rehome them or give up work.. Aibu?
