Hi guys,
I have a little problem. My neighbor (I don't really know her, spoke to her once for 2 min) has a new kitten, maybe 5 months old. He is everyday in our house and eats whatever my cats left, he even once ripped the food bag - looks to me like he is hungry, but I know he has a home, so I will not feed him.
I was wonder if there is something I can do without talking to the owner to stop him. I don't mind him being in our garden and playing whit my kittens (have 2 about 7 months old). But I noticed they fight when the little one is inside house (territorial issues).
I started to I feed my cats in the morning before I let them out and hide all food. Before I just was leaving food for them whenever they wanted to eat.
Do you think this will teach him there is no food here? How long it will take?
Thank for any solution that not involving me talking to the neighbor
BTW They had adult cat before who were behaving in similar way - meowing and begging for food, or affection. Walking around my legs, differently wanting something.
Best Regards
Maya
