I think our cat has a good life. We took him in as a stray and after we couldn't find his family I had him neutered and vaccinated.
In the morning I get up at six. I feed the cat, refresh his water and after he does his business I clean his kitty litter. At lunch I refill his bowl, refresh his water and again after dinner I fill up his bowl, refresh his water and clean his kitty litter. He's not greedy and there is often food left in his bowl between meals.
I let him sleep in my bed and he gets lots of cuddles and attention during the day.
When I take the kids to school he always goes out. I call him back in but he prefers to stay out, sometimes I run errands so I can be gone an hour or two. When I get home sometimes he comes in and sleeps, sometimes he stays out to play.
The other day, I came home and I found someone had placed a cardboard box under our bench. It is lined with newspaper and the top has been partially taped over to make a bed. I mean, someone put effort into that box. I figured it wasn't doing any harm so I left it but today I came home and someone had placed a handful of cat food on our porch. This irked me a bit. Seriously our cat is well fed.
I have tried leaving a window open when we go out but he doesn't come in that way. Can't install a cat flap as house is rented (we paid an extra cat deposit). I really think he is fine out for an hour or two but I wonder if he cries when we are gone.
Sorry, I'm probably being a bit over sensitive but does anyone else think my neighbour (I guess that's who is doing it) is being a bit out of line or do you just think they are being nice?
