Does anyone else have half a cat?

What a welcome visitor you have there giulia.

Our cat Rosie was well loved and fed at home but a wanderer. She was very loving when home but obviously had a whole other life beyond the cat flap. It was clear that she had one regular 'mistress', for want of a better word, as she regularly came home smelling of the same beautiful perfume.

My daughter’s cat visits several of her neighbours, battering on their cat flaps! He comes home when he’s ready but she is regularly shamed by his behaviour.

A beautiful Persian Blue used to visit my parents and make himself at home. His furious owner would often arrive to collect him - insisting that they didn't allow him in.

That was pretty impossible in summer with doors and windows open - and difficult at any time as he'd shoot through the back door when they had the cheek to hang the washing out or go to the bin!

We had a visiting cat from the house a few doors away. We never fed him or anything he just came to visit every so often. He used to sit on our laps and lounge around and when he was ready would just leave. We found out afterwards that he visited another family as well. When his owner found out she asked us not to let him in anymore, so that was the end of that.

When you said half a cat I thought you meant a cat with a bit missing like ours who was in a RTA and lost a leg!

In answer to your question we did have one who once who visited several of the neighbours, and we also were visited by a cat who had a disc on his collar saying not to feed him.

One of my cats was very inquisitive with the neighbours, checking them all out. Fortunately they accepted him. He did this once too often and got locked inside a house that was being renovated after the builders had left. They say curiosity killed the cat but I rescued him when I found out where he was.
