to just buy Lidl cat food?

[FiteFuaite]

My neighbour stopped me a couple of weeks ago and told me that as he was going away for 3 weeks soon,would my ds like to feed the cat in his absence?

Ds,of course, was delighted and neighbour said great,I will pay him a few bob and drop the cat food into you before I go. Now it seems that neighbour left for his hols yesterday as I was woken up in 6.30 am by a very mserable cat yowling outside in the garden.Neighbour hasn't given us any cat food and tbh,I can't afford to buy Caesar or Casper or whatever it is the cat normally gets. I only said yes because neighbour promised to buy the cat food before he left.

So,what to do? Will the cat eat the cheaper stuff? I suppose if he gets hungry enough he will but I hate to see him unhappy as he is a lovely cat. It doesn't help that he is an indoor cat and we can't let him indoors as hubby is allergic.

What a b*gger the neighbour is to just head off without sorting the cat out first,we are not very close at all,on our first evening in this house he threatened my hubby with an iron bar but we've kinda got over that now.

Well,no sign of the cat today,I have been out around our small close calling but he is nowhere to be seen

I had bought some little pouchy cat food things,too,for him so may have to serve them up to hubby if cat doesn't show,waste not want not an' all that

I think neighbour is coming back,he doesn't speak to many people as he has fallen out with most of them but he is responsible for his grandson and will have to be back for him.

I kinda like the responsibility of being a cat owner of sorts.I have been dropping into conversations and it makes me sound good

Thanks for the replies,wotulookinat I will keep you in mind for Sooty if it doesn't work out for me

you wont be able to adopt pussy, as your dh is allergic (as i am) and if my hubby got a cat, it would be a big hint that he wanted a divorce

there's a joke in there but i'm going to take the high road and not make it

come on - spill the joke

nope, i wouldn't be so crude as to giggle at the thought of a man allergic to pussy on such a serious thread.

and i certainly wouldn't be vulgar enough to laugh and ask 'oh dear, does pussy bring him out in a rash?'

shame on you pink on such a serious thread!!

FiteFuaite - hows pussy today, have you seen them?

Blondes,cat has turned up and just lurves the food I got from Lidl for him.I also bought some from a more upmarket shop but he didn't seem to like it as much,so, result!!
