Cat tails Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 This isn't my cat... This IS my cat food... He's a lovely chap, but getting a bit too friendly with the kibble of my cat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dancing cloud Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 He's gorgeous! He doesn't look particularly thin though, so I suspect you are not his only friend . My Loki appears to eat very little of the cat food I give him (healthy raw stuff), but is definitely getting podgy, so I suspect he's networking the neighbours. He's a tubby tabby, so this isn't him!

Cat tails Posted July 13, 2014 Author Share Posted July 13, 2014 He is absolutely lovely! Although my own cat thoroughly disagrees... He's not tubby yet, but who knows... It took the cats in my neighbourhood a bit over a year to figure it out, but they finally decided I am the crazy cat lady in this street and my house is the spot to hang out...

Daphne Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 We've experienced this from both sides We've had neighbouring mogs come in to share our cats' food, and even neighbouring dogs Once a cat came in whilst we were away to see what he could find (nothing) and couldn't get out again - we arrived home after a few days to find him rather manic in a corner of the kitchen, but otherwise unharmed thank goodness On the other hand I once went round to complain to a neighbour about her cat terrorising my chickens. She apologised but said that one of our cats spent a lot of time in her house, eating with the cat terrorist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat tails Posted July 13, 2014 Author Share Posted July 13, 2014 This ginger, Red, also tends to stalk the chickens, but then my cat will storm out and chase him away. Red will sit in my window sill meowing and will take naps on my motorcycle saddle. Most times have little muddy cat paws on it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 We once gained an extra cat when a neighbour went on hols; there was someone looking in feed it, but he decided to decamp to my place for cuddles, but I kicked him out when it was feeding time. A magnetic cat flap soon put paid to visitors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat tails Posted July 15, 2014 Author Share Posted July 15, 2014 Don't have a cat flap door thingy. My cat is not only mentally challenged, but also physically... According to the vet she is an inbred who will always have health issues. She can go out, but only when I'm home. Red is actually coming in the open window and did so this morning too. The big softy tries to tip toe his way to the cat food and will start to purr very loudly when I catch him in the act! I think I need to give a heads up to my neighbour, because I will be going on holiday soon and I'm afraid Red will starve! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you found out that he really does have a home of his own and is just using you as a food-stop? Cheeky creature ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat tails Posted July 15, 2014 Author Share Posted July 15, 2014 He is my direct neighbours cat... I think he decided that my cat food tastes better than his own. I buy the fancy stuff! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
