Neighbor acting like my cat is hers

[Anonymous]

Be thankful she isn’t poisoning your cat for being on her property illegally. Almost all cities and counties have laws against letting your animals be on other people’s property.

Keep your cat indoors. For heaven's sake.

I would never keep a cat indoors. I did as a kid. Had an indoor cat but I no longer agree that it's ideal. However Op, that is the only way to keep the cat to yourself. Otherwise the cat is free to love whomever they wish.

I wouldn't keep a cat indoors either. If keeping a cat indoors becomes a law then I'd sooner not have one.

My mom had to steal her cat back from the neighbor. Animal control had to go talk to crazy and tell her the cat is registered to my parents.

Depending of where you live, it may already be law.

Sorry OP, once you let the cat out, it's fair game for it to take up with anyone it wants. Sometimes they decide to change owners.

I hope the neighbor adopts the car and keeps it indoors.

That's another reason why cats suck.

Growing up we had a cat visit our house everyday for awhile. She would come in the morning, we started feeding her, then eventually let her in. She would only want to go outside at night then back in the morning, sometimes with "gifts." We thought she was a stray . Named her, brought her to the vet for a check up. She fattened up. Found out about a year later that she was a neighbors. LOL!

She has Ulcerative Colitis and works but is at home a lot.
I have a cat who has ventured over her way and she is completely smitten. I know he spends a lot of time with her and she adores him. I am pleased he brings her happiness but I do feel she feeds him (He has put on a lot of weight lately) and I barely see him as he is at her house.
She also texts me concerned comments at times about him being in a cat fight or not seeing him for a few days. It almost feels like it is her cat.
How can I approach this? She is sick and loves my cats company but I do feel she is overstepping.

Tell her that you saw the vet and that your cat has a new diet and can only eat special food and to stop feeding him.
Tell her about an animal shelter you know where they have cats she could adopt. I'd even pay for it if it can make a cat happy!

OP, I would actually just give her the cat. She loves it and the cat seems to like her.

Be happy for your cat. They put cameras on cats to make a documentary a few years ago, and a large portion of the cats had second homes, unbeknownst to their "owners." I don't see what the problem is.

We have an indoor cat. He has zero interest in going outside, even though he was an indoor/outdoor cat for several years. The most he does is look out the window from time to time. He's the perfect pet. I'm just posting this because I also used to think a happy indoor cat was as rare as a unicorn, but they do actually exist.

Just let her play with the kitty and don’t pay much attention to it. Most probably she doesn’t have any friends or a boyfriend with whom she can hang out or have fun. Can you imagine how desperate she is that at 34 years old she plays with the neighbor’s cat? In case you are jealous and think that your cat will love her more than you, then you should think of how to keep her home. One interesting way is a cat fountain tool from petsquick.com. It not only encourages the cat to drink more water, but to keep her/him at home and not to walk away. Finally, you will kill two rabbits with one stone.
