Hi everyone,
I have been having this problem lately of one of my cats staying away for longer than normal when letting her out (up to 4 days) and she has been getting pretty chubby. At first we thought that she had picked up worms and gave her a de-wormer thinking that she had picked it up while hunting but today she came home (finally after 4 days) with a new yellow flea collar. She has always had a red flea collar and when we let her out last she still had her collar on. We've made the decision to keep her in for at least the next few days to ensure she doesn't go back to wherever she's been hanging out but we're not sure on how to proceed with things after that. As we don't know who has been feeding her etc. we don't know how to tell them that she's owned other than the collar which was obviously replaced (we thought about it having come off during her roaming but all the other times she has been out for a few days she has come back with her original collar,) and are concerned as she is leaving for increasingly longer times.
Any advice as to what we should do? We would rather not have to keep her in for the rest of her life as she is rather fond of going out to hunt and get away from her son (who is our second cat).
Thanks.
