My neighbour (who is a feckless idiot) has an old cat who he leaves outside every night whatever the weather. Neighbour lives between his and partners house and when he is there (for 1-2 days at a time) the cat is outside. No cat flap. A rudimentary shelter with no blankets and a bowl of food (that gets eaten by other cats on street). The cat miaows loudly all night outside the door.
I've tried speaking to him about the older cat but he was unreceptive saying it was the cats preference.
He has now acquired a gorgeous kitten who is about 6 months old and he's doing the same to him, he's been outside all night every night this week and has been crying outside their front door every morning when I leave for work.
From what I can gather RSPCA won't do anything unless there is abject cruelty going on which I don't think they would classify this as.
Is there anything I can do? Talking to him won't change anything.
I even thought about "liberating" the older cat to a rescue last year but apparently (and surprisingly) he has him chipped. The older cat has adapted more to being outside and when I let him come into my house last year he wouldn't settle and was covered in fleas (I treated him but they came back in a few weeks)
I would take the little one in if I didn't work out of the house everyday.
Is there anything I can do?
Pic attached of him this morning trying to come with me 😻
