Cat suddenly showing up.

[MollsDolls]

We moved into our house in Sept 22. Previous owners has cats that went with them and last week one of them appeared at out door. Very familiar with house extra and then discovered he'd previously lived there. Never shown up before. Back again today. Owners moved about 2km away so not to far and not quite as far if you come across the fields which I suspect what kitty does. Owner is asking what can she do to stop him. I have no idea. I did tell her today that we wouldn't encourage him by feeding him or letting him in but what else can she do. I mean it's 19 months since we moved and now he shows up. I don't mind but what she do?

Kitty is still here. Doing their best to look all cute and get in. Owners know he's here but looks they aren't coming. I don't really want to feed him and encourage him to stay but am feeling guilty now

Have the owners said they want the kitty? If they didn't would you be up for adopting?
Does it have access to water and shelter (if you don't want to feed)?
Could you take it to a vet so they can contact the owners (assuming it's chipped)?

For his safety keep him in. He could get knocked down trying to get to the new house.. If they don't come collect him then congratulations on your new boss...

Unless you'd like to keep him (with his owners' consent obviously) just keep ignoring him.

They do want him. She came and collected him last week after I post on a community page as at that stage we didn't know who owned. She came and collected him and know he is back today but so far haven't showed up for him. I gave in and gave him a little food about 20 mins ago. He does have access to water here and plenty of shelter just not in the house. I would adopt him but they want him. I truly don't mind him being here but he is trying every approach to get in. He knows all the doors. 😂

Please don't feed him!

This isn't a stray or possible stray, he's clearly well loved, you really mustn't give in or do anything to encourage him at all. He will make his own way home when he's hungry.

He's pining for his old home.. so sweet.. and sad! Sorry not helpful!

Don’t feed him and he will go home when he is hungry. He has a loving home, so please be decent and don’t feed him or you are encouraging him to stay away from his family.
