Hi
Several weeks ago I had a neighbors cat start coming over to my place. I discourged it, but then she started to look more and more like her owners had abandoned her. She would even rush over and lick the ground when I would water plants etc like she had no water in ages. She came over and cried at night a lot. I don't know her owners, or even who they are, but she had a tag, so I called the number on the tag tellling them what was going on, without accusing them I said their cat kept coming over crying at our place, and i left my number. They never called me back. So I started breakng down more and more, feeding the cat and letting her nap in the house or sleep when it was cold outside. She looks so much better has gained some weight. And one day I decided to just give in fully, purchase a litter box and cat toys and start keeping her in, and adopt her. Literally, the next day I decided to keep her, she shows up with a new collar and the tag on it again! So the owner does care! So I even start to feel guilty like I was doing something wrong, so I decided to ignore the cat. But the problem is, I have got this cat used to coming over and she won't stop. She comes over and cries, VERY loud at my door, I tryt to ignore it, but it gets really loud. And when she comes in she meow's loudly near where I was feeding her, and wolfs down food that I give her (even though I know I shouldn't!) I just don't know what to do now, plus I dont fully trust she is being cared for by her owners. What should I do?
