Question for you lot:
Got a cat here who we've had for about 4-5 years, was a cat that adopted us as it's owners from the farm down the road and is a natural hunter rather than a home cat.
Spends most nights on the prowl, catching his food in the wild, comes in on a morning and sleeps all day, has some fuss early evening, a play, cuddle and goes out again.
Past few weeks he's been out longer than usual, has been coming back STINKING of perfume and tonight I've seen him been let out of a house down the road, so he's obviously been nipping in there.
Now I have no problem with someone giving him shelter on a night, I've no problem with a total stranger giving him a little stroke as they go by, but tonight is the last straw.
This woman has taken it upon herself to put a collar on my cat with a bell. Not only is poor puss thoroughly widdled off with this, I personally don't agree with collar's on cats and have removed it.
He's just come in now and has throw-up a combination of ham and chicken, so whatever the hell the woman has given him is too rich.
But the major problem I have is that the back of his neck is sticky as if she's given him some flea-treatment, which, is this woman has taken it upon herself to 'own' my cat, how does she know when I de-flea him, and could literally end up killing him by not knowing.
Now I am going to nip this in the bud, but want to know how I can tackle this in a diplomatic way.
Do I put a letter through, or speak to her face to face? I can't imagine there's some law (it is a bit trivial), but like I said, I don't want to be footing veteneary fee's because this daft cow is giving my cat food which he simply isn't used to.
Any tips on how to approach her?
