Stealth food thief

[Dancingfairydreams]

It would appear my cat has made friends with a local cat, they play together in the garden chasing each other around (no hissing etc) friend cat has been coming in to share my cats food - she just sits there & watches friend cat!! This was amussing at first but friend cat is now coming in nearly everyday!

Any suggestions on how to stop this? I can't really remove the food as my cat is a grazer & will leave food, pretend bury it, then come back to it a little later.

We like having the doors open & don't have a cat flap yet.

Friend cat is obviously not a stray as it's huge!! It's super fluffy & in really good condition. So I feel she's/he's just being a food theif!

My cat couldn't care less...obviously...

I'll ask the neighbours if they know where friend cat lives but any other thoughts??

Microchip cat feeder. Expensive but a solution.

Microchip cat flap for winter - up up with it until then? Your doors and windows won’t be open in October and only your little one will get in the house

I agree about getting a microchip cat flap. We have this problem too. A neighbor’s cat comes over day to play and hang out, and steal food. The Bunz complains to me but won’t do anything about it himself!

I'll look into the microchip feeder, Thanks All. For now I shall just except the scamp coming for its tea daily 😂😂
