Genuinly speechless right now - neighbour just told me something ...

Maybe we should have paid more attention to her not being here as much, but all our neighbours played with her in the street and fed her, and we saw the other cat so thought she was well and just staying there more often.

I'm not home that much as it is.

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

so 1 of 2 things should have clicked in your head.

1 - the food was missing and your other cat was looking like it had eaten 2 portions

2 - the food was still in the bowl


I cant see a year of eating 2 portions wouldn't take its toll on the second cat.

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.

I find this weirder than your neighbours having the cat put down without your consent.

'More often' is not the same as ' 365 days'. I'm not feeling a great deal of sympathy for you.

turn your sympathy towards the second cat, its been eating double portions for those 365 day without gaining weight, it clearly has worms that have not been picked up when both cats were taken for their injections in that 365 day period. and then this mystery cat that looks similar got 2 lots of injections, the 1 its real owners gave it, and the 1 the op gave it as they believed it was their cat.

if it has been living with your neighbour for a year, with them paying all its food bills, and you made no effort to get it back (a simple 'please don't encourage our cat' would have done) then I think they have every right to treat you with the respect you showed your cat.
 
It's amazing how much facts actually appear by page 2 / 3 of threads like this.

Funnily enough - it's usually these "facts" that are the most important - and sometimes I wonder whether they are left out intentionally, either because they seem unimportant to the OP - or simply because the OP genuinely doesn't want the whole truth to be known - for one reason or another.

I can see why court cases are so tricky sometimes - based on the accused/defendants own accounts of what happened.

Surely if your neighbour had been doing the guts of the feeding / looking after of the said cat, she had every right to ask it to be put down.
