Oh, I'm so glad some of you feel the same. I thought maybe I was being
overly annoyed or whatever. I *know* if it were me, I'd continue to feed it
and let it in when it's raining, but that's me. And good points about
poisoned animals a cat might find or kill. I'll pass on the good advice to
my friend - actually she's my cousin in-law.

The tone of the note attached to the collar does not sound friendly to me.
The owner sounds like a real piece of work. Having someone care enough to
feed one's cat should be the worst that can happen to a cat left outside.

My advice? You're the cat's friend, not the owner's friend so do what you
want.

Tomorrow doesn't look good either.

In your opinions, how should I advise my friend?

Thanks,
Lydia


Send a note back with the cat to its owners to ask for an explanation. Its
better to communicate than to be defensive about it all. After all it is not
your cat. And also keep a tab on the cat's development - if its getting
skinnier, etc. If its getting worse then you'll have to step in.

I totally agree. The cat is clearly not receiving proper care. If I were
in this situation I think I would make the cat effectively "disappear"
if you know what I mean... ;-)


Megan! I hope you don't mean "disappear" in a mafia sort of way.. -
nudge nudge wink wink...

"Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation), there is one
elementary truth the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and
splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then
providence moves too. A whole stream of events issues from the decision,
raising in one's favor all manner of unforeseen incidents, meetings and
material assistance, which no man could have dreamt would have come his
way."

- W.H. Murray
