To think she got her comeuppance and he’s a CF?

[MmedeGouge]

My well loved cat left me a few years ago and moved in with my neighbour across the road.
He sits in her bay window and taunts me with a very smug look on his faithless, feline face.
The cat stealing neighbour has just been around to me saying he’s not been “home” (the cheek of it!”) for a week or so and she’s devastated.
I know where he is.
A new woman moved in next door to the cat stealing neighbour and I’ve seen him sunning himself on her bedroom window ledge.
AIBU to think she did get her comeuppance?

There's that saying about cheaters..... They cheated with you, they'll cheat ON you

Or whatever it is

I hope you've relinquished rights / responsibility for the vet bills though

CF she is

Or CSCF (cat stealing cheeky fucker)

Many years ago, my cat went missing and I discovered her in the next road along. She followed me home, but didn’t stay and then she went to live with the person she’d been ‘visiting’ who had tempted her with treats.

I accepted she preferred to live elsewhere, but was not happy when the person who took her asked me to pay a vet bill for her. I declined.

Reading posts like these remind me how lucky I am that my cat doesn’t look people. She likes those here in her home (she tolerates ds. Adores dd), but doesn’t like anyone outside the home. Means I know she will never move out

Traded her in for a newer windowsill.

How very cat 😂

Our greedy old cat loved his food which had, in part, led to him being diabetic. This was fine and easy to manage as loving food he'd come running whenever the feeding bowl was rattled. He'd chow down and I could give him his insulin injection.

He then discovered that the old chap across the road was a soft touch and I couldn't get him home to give him his insulin. Saw the chap sitting on the porch, in the sun, with our cat happily sitting on his lap cleaning his whiskers. I went across to bring him home and the chap said he thought it was a stray given how hungry he was. He said the cat particularly liked it when he did a bit of roast chicken for him!!! He looked a bit sad when I asked him to stop spoiling our cat but understood when I explained about the diabetes. I said I was happy if the cat visited and they sat in the sun together but please don't feed him, so that worked out fine.

The cat stealing neighbour has just been around to me saying he’s not been “home” (the cheek of it!”) for a week or so

"Actually Sandra, he's not been 'home' for several years". Using the PA little air quotes and with a MN Tinkly Laugh.

YABU. the cat doesn't owe you anything as you knew very well before you got the cat that they only have open relationships. if you wanted to be exclusive, you should have got a dog.

I was happy for my cat to visit the elderly neighbour but I wasn't happy for him to be locked in the house and fed Whiskas which caused explosive stomach upsets. I do think it is cheeky to feed someone else's cat - for me that amounts to a definite intent to lure the cat away (ie steal it). If the cat has the freedom to come and go and makes it clear they prefer to live elsewhere that's probably different but mine was not one of those cases.

Were you expecting him to pay the mortgage?

We had a cat that moved in many years ago, he was a lovely lap cat and my neighbours had suddenly had twins ......

He went home every night once the kids where in bed but came back the next morning - we didn't feed him until I'd spoken to them and he pretty much lived with us till they moved (leaving the cat)

Sunning himself on the neighbour's windowsill is a cat's version of the middle finger.

This is Cat. Cat likes to taunt his old owner after leaving for greener pastures. Cat has moved on to the next gullible neighbour.

Just thank your lucky stars that cock-lodging faithless feline is somebody else’s problem now.

[In truth, I know it must be painful to have lost him originally. Hopefully the schadenfreude with recent developments is salving old wounds.]

My cat occasionally comes home smelling of another woman’s perfume, but he still comes home. I’ve decided not to pry. I sometimes wonder if he’ll leave us for her when the kids leave home. We’ll see.

Why would you not take the cat back from her? Was it not microchipped with your details?

But yes definitely getting her comeuppance.

I have a feeling my cat is cheating on us. We had a visitor recently whose phone rang and it sounded like a doorbell. Our Cat jumped up and went and looked at the front door.
We don't have a doorbell, never have. So he's been hanging at a house where someone has a doorbell and he knows what it means. Bastard.
