To break into my new neighbours house *THREAD 2*

[Catsos]

Following on from my thread yesterday https://www.mumsnet.com/talk/am_i_being_unreasonable/4881905-to-break-into-new-neighbours-house-serious-question-not-trolling

to update all of the lovely people who are trying to help me rescue my cat who has got himself stuck in an unoccupied house.

Updating very shortly

hope you get him back @Catsos - our cat survived 2 weeks locked in a house in a similar situation- they’re resourceful creatures!

Oh no hope you can rescue him today.
One of mine is the type to pull this stunt, she'd also watch me breaking in then casually strut out the cat flap and back home.

Marvellous, thanks OP!

We need a crabsticks update as soon as you can.

I’m still struggling to understand how there can be such a bad bend in the cat flap tunnel in a thin house wall. Can you post a photo and then maybe we can advise better?

You need a catio OP! I'm looking into one now so I can let my cat out

so yesterday was day 2?

She posted one on the other thread.

Thank OP, can't wait to hear what the new neighbours think of the crabsticks.

Yep this is cats in a nutshell 🤣 did you have to pay for breaking in?

Can you take a photo of the bend in the tunnel?

Hoping it's a success today OP and you're reunited soon!

i want a photo of the cat personally

Hopefully your cat managed to get out overnight.

Last thing you want is to break in and cat has escaped.

Good luck today

There was one on the previous thread.

Do you know their names? Do you have a local Facebook group they may have joined? They might have friends on a local FB group too. How well did you know the old neighbours? Are you able to contact them? Did they need any planning permission for the work they're having done? In our area you can go on to the local council planning portal and get people's names that way. You just put in the address and it returns all the planning permission requests and details.

Sorry not RTFT so ignore if these questions have already been asked.

No, unfortunately she didn’t. But hopefully she is able to this morning.

Are the crabsticks still on the windowsill @Catsos ?

Thanks OP for new thread. Am anxiously waiting good news.
I think you’re alone (apart from those on here who are with you all the way) with this and I do understand how stressful that is.

A photo being taken from a phone held as far as possible in the tunnel would be useful. Give an idea of how long the tunnel is (it can't be that long?) and what the flap looks like.

I would hope that the new neighbours would understand as as you intend to payand fix the issue before you chase damage you aren’t leaving damage or intending it so less likely to be accused of criminal damages as you aren’t intending to cause lasting damage?

Please just break a window and let him out. I would not hesitate to do that- his life and his suffering is worth more than a window. If the neighbours are not understanding, that is sad. As long as you pay for the repair and the cleanup inside, I think they would just be concerned for him and glad you let him out.

@Devilsmommy she hasn't done it YET.

another one

@Catsos just get a locksmith.

I understand you are worried about your cat, but from the owners point of view, they will not want him peeing in the house, you need to get him out asap.

Locksmith.

Fingers crossed you’re able to get to him today 🤞🏻
