Well, to be fair there is another cat that looks exactly the same in our street so we just assumed.

Oh also, my dad had to go to her and ask her if she had seen our cat, so she obviously didn't even have an intention of telling us ... i'm so speechless.

but you clearly must have noticed you hadn't been feeding it or giving it a bed to sleep in? so this would have been a tell tale sign surely. or are you saying it was your cat because you purchased it, but you let your neighbour look after it, feed it, give it somewhere to sleep and paid for its injections......and then shocked they didn't feel the need to tell you about it?

Sorry to tell you this but your Mum knew & is just covering herself so she don't get your attitude.
While I'm at it have this as well so you can get over both Traumas in one hit.

Time to break out the pick axe handle me thinks or involve the police, do something for Christs sake!

She would come ours and eat etc then our neighbours started feeding her also because she was always outside and stuff.

Her sister is still with us, obviously we got their injections and things.

Yes I acknowledge that, but ermmm it would have been nice to KNOW!!! Oh and maybe not tell us a year later ...

You haven't missed the cat for an entire year?

but a year with it visiting your house didn't seem odd in an way?

Over the last few years she went to the neighbours to eat because they fed her a lot, so she got double helpings here and there. Then we just assumed she started to stay there a bit more often.

Not too odd, to be fair in the last few years she would only stay for a bit, fight with her sister then head off into the garden.

Yes but for a YEAR. If you hadn't fed it for a YEAR or got injections for a YEAR or touched it for a YEAR...

I'm genuinely speechless, but for a completely different reason.

:edit: Did they even know it was your cat?

a bit more often would be you didn't see it for 3 or 4 days, maybe a week, but surely after 1 month, 2 months, 3months.....something must have clicked it wasn't 'a bit more often' but actually 'NEVER!!!!'

Just get a new one that looks the same,

Or dig it up and get it stuffed, you won't notice the difference.

Says a lot about the op doesn't it really. You really should have to obtain a license to own an animal.

And by a 'bit' you mean a year? LOL gone from sympathy to nearly bad owners territory

Must admit when I popped to the shops for a bit I missed the whole of 2011 somehow myself...

ps3ud0 :cool:

Belloni · 12 Jul 2012 at 21:38

I'm not home that much as it is.

She would come mainly midday, eat what we put out for them both.
