Help! my cat keeps visiting a neighbouring family
Posted: Mon Sep 04, 2017 9:20 pm
Hi, I need some advice.
A family with a young girl and an older boy moved in to a neighbouring house about a year ago. The girl became friendly with my cat. When my cat started becoming difficult to find to bring into the house in the evening I tracked her down to this family and realised that they had been letting her in the house. I tried to talk with them and explain that she is legally my cat, that she is microchipped, and that she has health issues with high vet bills. I asked the mother to make sure they stopped taking her in as my cat was confused as to where her home was (she had become grumpy when she was brought into our house).
While they're making efforts to make sure she is not let in, I am always finding her outside their house and she is becoming increasingly grumpy again. I give her treats, cuddle her when she wants to, let her sleep where she wants, feed her a good diet and play with her when she wants. She has always been an outdoor cat, but I fear I am losing her. Any ideas on what I can do?
