neighbours stealing our cat wwyd

[threekidsfourcats]

our ginger tom is a lovely cat he is a year old and i had reared him from 3 weeks after mum at died....he has always been a lap cat, but since our new neighbours moved in he keep disappearing during the day and now all night, i mentioned it to the neighbours they then informed me that because he has been in their house!!!....she then went on to say he is such a lovely boy i have even been out and got him gourmet cat food and some treats and a cushion which she places a hotwater bottle!!!....erm excuse me but this is my cat not yours.. she laughed and said sorry cant help myself he is so lovely....today i get a msg from her asking if i was in, i said i was, she came round carrying my cat saying here you go im off to london for a few day.....is it wrong of me to want to slap her????

Maybe you ask if shes going to start paying towards insurance and vets fee?

I can understand why you would be p**d off, I probably would be if it was my cat, but, at least you know where the cat is going and that its safe.

Where we lived before, one of my cats used to go in next door, you could guarantee when I called the cat in from the front door, after a few moments you would hear someone run downstairs next door, open the front door and let my cat out. When they got dogs the cat just started going in the old ladies house on the other side of us. ( I think she just in for peace and quiet away from the kids and our dogs!) Shes now 15 and doesn't stray further than the garden.

It is annoying though isn't it?

Is the neighbour in during the day or does she work? If she works what about only letting the cat out during the day and keeping it in at night?

I would complain to the local police community support officer and have him chipped.

The cat would be chipped, not the police.

grrrr it damn annoying but dont want to fall out with them over it, they treat him like a baby, may start keeping him in when they are about, fluffycloudland wouldnt min chipping our local cso he lovely lol

That's out of order.

My neighbours' cat used to come into my house - I think to get away from her two grown up kittens but I would not feed her, buy her anything. She could come in, be fussed and sleep for 10 mins but that was it.
