Feeding other people's animals

My cat is getting fat, and the vet will probably tell us off when she goes next. Who the fuck are these people who think it's okay to just feed other people's cats? She can't be getting fat on the stuff we feed her because she seems to be leaving most of it. And she's not that good at catching things. Does anyone actually do this?

The fella's mum has cats just wandering straight into her house, and the little buggers eat her cats' food. So perhaps your cat is doing this, rather than someone actually feeding her?
I would like to agree, but her cats all spit at the 2 others and she tries to usher them out the door, but they just wander around like it is their house, and according to the vet they are causing her eldest cat to suffer with stress.
These cats have severe balls, and are full of cheek
My dog is the greediest animal alive, and almost every day she will find and devour some foodstuff that has been carelessly abandoned in the park. Everything from sarnies to chocolate bars. Plus she's a beagle, so she can smell half an egg butty at a distance of 3 miles and sprint directly to it. Fatty
Your mum or the cat ?
My neighbour does the same thing - feeds our cat, as it just went into her house. Only solution was for her to squirt a water-pistol at it whenever it came near. It worked as well
Some even do all the above. Cats are intelligent, they get all they can. They'll only be picky when you are looking.
our neighbours were feeding out cat for a long time, then suddenly they up and moved taking our cat with them along with three other local cats. No one knows where they have moved to and it seems none of us are likely to get our cats back, if someone stole something from your home they would get in trouble, yet despite all of us whose cats had been stolen reporting it to the police we were told there was nothing they could do, they said that it was a hazard of owning a cat, he even suggested we get a dog which is more loyal.
It's always good to check the date on a thread before you reply, this one is originally from 2007 so I'm going to close it now - don't be afraid to start your own new threads though :thumb:
