Im in a huge dilemma. A cat accosted me today, galloped after me, jumped all over me as I was waiting for my bus. I somehow knew she was lost. This happened to me 2 times before I know the signs. I stood for 20 minutes, misssing my buses calling the number on her collar frantically trying to get this cat sorted. I made the decision to keep her safe and took her back to my house just 100ft away which she eerily ran the path ahead of me...spooky huh? I got her comfortable in the conservatory with everything she would need. I left her there while I went out. 3.5 hrs later in the dark and rain I get a call from the owner. She lives 2 miles from me, the roads are treacherous She is very blase, nonchalant about it. Not relieved, not excited. She tells me she is a 'minx' (really means a pain in the ass) and tells me how she got a call from a guy she got into the van of the day before, laughs about it then tells me how shes been called previously by 2 people 3 miles up the road (the only way to get there is to cross THE most dangerous junction I have ever seen,5 pronged light system, 2 dual carriageways! humans dare not cross, so bad 1 of my friends wont drive thorugh it. Im aghast at her attitude. I go into a semi lecture mode. I explain my cat is indoor or supervised out. I explain the perils of such a friendly cat. tell her that a garden can be catproofed. I offer to design it myself (I did this twice before)
Im going on but long or short the cat gets collected not by her but by her aunty tomorrow. Shes out at work (all day) she appears to just put her out all day and not get back til late. I dont hink shes responsible and its on my mind and conscience. She is such a little darling so delicate, friendly sweet. Its unbearable to think of her as hit by car or stolen for some sinister means. What the beep to do? Exactly the same thing happened 3.5 yrs ago with another cat and the owner swore he would be kept in....2 wks after he was killed. I knew I should have given him to a rescue. She is a v bad owner, lives nearby, leaves her remaining cat out all day and night. She says she is chipped, can a rescue take her? What should I do? Please advise. Thanks all,
