I'll start with the background info first. We've had moody cat for about 8 years. She was from a rescue centre and was not a particularly young cat when we got her. She has always been very skinny and at her first vet appointment with us, vet felt a lump in her stomach which she said was nothing serious. Due to her stomach we noticed that wet food really upset her, giving her the runs, so we've only ever fed her and our other cat on complete dry food, plus the occasional human food scraps of ham, chicken, tuna etc. They have a bowl of dry food and water all the time and go in and out the house as they please.
Yesterday when I got home and opened the front door, moody cat went out and started walking towards another house so I followed her and found that neighbour had put wet food out for her. I knocked on the door to explain everything I've just said above. Well, the woman didn't really listen to me. She told me cats need wet food, that she has also given her worming granules, that she's a young cat and needs to be neutered! (she has been before we got her). Well today after her little wet food feast, she has the runs. Bad runs. She has now pooped all over the house including on the sofa. I have a 2 year old and am pregnant and having to spend all day cleaning up after her.
So WWYD? My husband is very angry and said he will go talk to the woman later. I sympathised with her yesterday just thinking that she was trying to help a skinny cat that she thought was stray but today I am
. She did even say that she always sees the cat in our front garden, yet didn't knock the door to ask about her before feeding her.
Thanks for reading my essay. Not sure what I want by posting this but even the venting has helped.
