My neighbours are fantastic, and I have 3 lots of neighbours who I can ask to look after the kitties and they all love cats, especially our girls so it works out well.
Anyway, so 2 of our neighbours say whenever they look after the girls that Smudge and Stumpy were cuddly and playful, and that they never saw Lily except for a flash of grey every now and again. Our other neighbour always tells us that Lily came and sat in her lap and had a cuddle.
Now Lily doesn't even sit in OUR lap, and rarely comes out when strangers are over. She knows our neighbour, and sits in the front window and doesn't run away when our neighbour talks to her (our neighbour takes her cat our for supervised walks and talks to Lily through the window while her cat is rolling around under the window), so I know that she does at least trust this particular neighbour and knows her better than our other neighbours.
I still find it very odd that she says Lily sits in her lap though. When Lily is affectionate and I'm on the couch, she'll snuggle around me and smooch up against me and is very loving, but that doesn't happen every day, and she rarely does it to DH so I can't see why she'd do it to my neighbour.
I can't see why my neighbour would lie to me though - maybe she wants me to be reassured that the cats are fine???? Whether Lily comes out or not, I know she's fine though...
Does it seem odd to you??
