Neighbours leaving cat out while they go on holiday

Last time they went away, it was cold and wet. They got a friend to leave food in the garden for the cat but other cats could have eaten it. They don’t have a cat flap.

They are going away for two weeks and leaving the cat out again. I think it sometimes comes in through our cat flap to eat our cat’s food. If challenged they just say that a cat will always find food.

Our cat is extremely pampered so I don’t know if I am over reacting.

We have had quite a number of cats over the years in order to keep the vermin down, on our many properties we have lived in over the years. Whilst animals of any sort should never be deliberately mistreated they are not humans and should be treated as the species they are. When we had cats they either had a cat house outside or a cat flap so they could enter the garage. If we were away we would ask a neighbour to ensure the animal's food and water bowls were topped up.

We have no need of cats anymore we have them visiting our garden on a daily basis and killing off the vermin.
