Just wanted some ideas on this.
We have a newish cat to the road, the people living further down got two rescues and one of them is ...erm....a chancer shall we say. He goes into every house in the street that he can including mine. Now I have to say I am slightly charmed by the thieving little bugger and he has been christened "six dinner Sid" for his exploits. It's not just my house but all the neighbours as well.
I would never knowingly feed him but I have three cats so there is inevitably food around. My three being fairly stupid just sit in the living room looking into the kitchen in bemusement.....and then I know he is in. He will be chowing down on any left over cat food. He is quite amenable to being lifted up and put out the front door.
My neighbour has got so fed up she is now leaving a bowl of food out for him which I won't do as it isn't fair to his owners.
I like the doors and windows open this time of year so he gets easy access.
There is nothing I can do is there?
Considering just lifting all the food bowls after feeding my three in the morning.....or just moving the bowls elsewhere so there is nothing here for him.
Any other suggestions....I can't water spray him,,,.i just can't
My three don't especially like him but there is no real confrontation either apart from the occasional spat with him....and this is no worse than what goes on between the here of them. It's like they have just accepted him to an extent.
Do I let the owners know he is eatng everywhere and not to worry if he seems off his food? Then again I saw him carrying a dead bird under a bush last week and eating it, 45 mins later I was evicting him from my kitchen again.
Coukd he need worming I wonder?
