The neighbor's cat came in!

DH went out to feed her and she walked right in like she owned the place. Speck and Daisy were livid. I sat beside her while she ate, there was a lot of growling and carrying on, but otherwise all was well. She has already been here to eat this morning, but she didn't linger. It's cold and there's a lot of snow on the ground. By the time I had my coat on to go say hello, she'd gone.

She'll probably make a habit of coming in now. At least your two didn't attack her.

Is this the kitty that was allergic to her collar? How's her neck looking?

Don't you just love cats? When I lived with my aunt for 3 years, the resident alpha, Camille, did that to show Penny and Daisy that she was (and still is) queen bee.

That's her. DH says we're going to take her to the vet if her neck doesn't improve soon. It's not infected, but I know it's bound to itch. The underside of her neck, the throat area, is especially bad. So far, they haven't replaced the flea collar. After coming into our yard and running from us for years, now that she's met us, she's very tame. I think she must be fairly petted or at least used to people. Speck would never let strangers approach him...even strangers with food.

Is this cat fully outdoors or something? If I noticed a missing flea collar and swelling in the area, I would not let my cat outside again until it healed. On the one hand it sounds like this is a well taken care of, socialized cat, and the owners care enough to get a flea collar (even if they don't know how bad the collars are for cats), but then they don't notice or ignore this problem.

I had a cat like that at my last condo. He came in wearing a flea collar that was so tight I had a hard time getting it off.

Needless to say he left naked.

He came back on a regular basis and invited himself in for a snack and a roll on the carpet. I didn't have a cat of my own at the time so it was no problem.

I knew that he had a home because he came back the next summer wearing another flea collar.

His people must have thought he lost a lot of collars.

I'm almost positive the man who owns her once told DH that they had an indoor cat and she was "the baby." For whatever reason they've started letting her out; I've been seeing her around for quite some time. I believe her to be the same cat, because I know the man told DH she was solid black. And before she started coming to our house, I would see sitting in the edge of the neighbors' property. (They live in a wooded area so their house is not visible from mine.) I'm wondering if she's strictly outdoors now. We went to run some errands and she was on the front porch when we came home. I can't imagine why they're leaving her out in the snow.

What about talking to the neighbor you think owns her - find out what's happened? Maybe he's ill - a million things could have happened.

(Eileen just had a neighbor move and leave her cats with family or something they thought were caring for them, and they simply put the cats out. Eileen contacted the former neighbor, and as a result she got permission to take the cats in and then got them to her rescue).

They have an unlisted phone number, but DH plans to stop him when he rides by our house. He has to ride by our house to get to the main road - there's no other way out. I am hoping they are letting her in at least at night. I figure she would be here more often if they weren't - DH is really taken with her and I think she knows it. Every time she shows up, he feeds her. These same neighbors gave us their Maine Coon mix years ago, because the cat started staying at our house and they gave up on him.
