I have posted about the cat before. We have fed her for years as she only gets fed if she is around at the precise second that her 'owners' come home and open their front door.
Over the last couple of months she has suddenly become skeletal, despite lots of food..I suspect hyperthyroidism and/or kidney issues. They have not taken her to the vet. Our vet won't treat cats owned by someone else or I'd have taken her ages ago.
I caught them and asked if she was getting treatment..their answer was 'oh yeah she is a bit skinny now..she's old' Today DH directly asked them if they were going to get their sick cat to the vet..and they said they would take her next week.
Tonight my adult DS1 has just come in, visibly distressed ..she is outside in the cold and wet, huddled under our bush. We have take out one of our cats baskets (wicker type with a padded cushion in for trips to the vets) and covered it with a bin liner to keep it dry. He also put out more food and water for her. She climbed straight in on wobbly legs and purred. So tonight she will be at least dry and not too cold.
I can't bring her in (my three would fight her as she used to be pretty feisty) and I don't know what else I can do, except keep feeding her and keep her as warm as we can until she dies...which I am guessing is probably days away now.
How can anyone be so bloody uncaring? :(
