Neighbor acting like my cat is hers

[Anonymous]

She still lives with her parents. I thought she was about 19 but she is actually 34, just looks crazy young.
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.

Keep your cat in the house. It’s simple.

Keep your D cat in your house.

You can ask her not to feed him, but there’s not much else you can do if you’re going to let your cat roam free outside, spending his days however he chooses.

Outdoor cats get to decide where they spend their time, even if it's with other people. Indoor cats are yours alone.

+1 to keeping your kitty in or letting him pick. We had a cat once that started hanging out more and more with another family and eventually it was agreed that the cat had made her choice. As it turned out, they doted on her in her old age in a way that my parents never would have. Smart cat.

And/or consider whether it would be responsible to suggest that your neighbor get an [indoor] cat.

The concerned-comments can be ignored if they don't have merit.

There's not much you can do, or any owner can do, if the cat adopts someone else though. Cats choose their owners

I would keep him home.

The cat is acting like the neighbor is hers.

Keep your cat indoors or don’t whine when it does as it pleases.
