I someone was doing that with my cat, I certainly would be speaking to them about it, I don't know any cat owner who wouldn't.0 -
They have seen and passed without a word several times after Ewa spoke to them already. So they knew she was interested in cat's welfare.
If it was me, I would have taken the cat in after FIRST time someone asked me why it looked bad.
Anyone who cares for their cat would.
For a cat who does not want to be inside - she is very comfy on Ewa's daughter's bed..0 -

She looks it too bless her.You and Ewa have made my day,well my week with such good news that at last she is inside and being cared for.She must think she's in heaven.
I can't wait to see how she gets on tomorrow.I just hope she isn't pregnant.........0 -

The cat did not try to get in when the door was opened when Ewa was talking to them.
Put 2 and 2 together woman and stop coming up with 7.
What exactly is your point? Let me pretend I am interested...
My point? We'll its that you don't know if the cat is on any meds, of course, which is important information, you're just assuming.
None of what you've said there means the cat isn't allowed in, again you're assuming and adapting the facts to suit the actions you've taken.
Yes, there's a very good chance that this is a neglected animal who will be better off in a new home. There is though also a small chance that this is a loved pet who is old and sick and you've done the wrong thing. You are completely refusing to acknowledge anything at all that contradicts the story you want to be true.
Will you be contacting the RSPCA to let them know they don't need to investigate now, that you've taken matters into your own hands?0 -
Loved and sick and old PET should be cared for and kept inside.0

It is HER bed and she is guarding it hahah

I don't disagree, but that's not really the point I'm making.
As I said earlier, there are people out there who would say that loved and cared for GSDs should live in houses with gardens and owners who don't work full time. Would their belief in that be a valid reason to snatch Zara from you, to not even tell you they had her, to deny her her meds because they hadn't even asked if she was on any, to give her to a new owner that they approved of and then when they saw your missing poster only to send you photos of her sat in a garden looking well fed?
Look, I know you mean well, but you haven't got enough information or the authority to be making these decisions. Why not let the RSPCA do their job and just keep a watchful eye in the meantime?0 -
Oh dear.. here we go again.... yawnnn honest to God, one big yawn at all your "arguments"
Nobody would ever get a chance to snatch Zara and/or any of my cats for starters. They are not left alone 24/7 fending for themselves.
Anyone looking at my dog/cats has no doubt they are not neglected in any way - this cat IS neglected in EVERY way.
Get real woman... The point you think you are making is not a point at all.0 -

I don't really care how often you try to insult me, if it makes you stop and think for even one second.
What if the cat is on meds? She's not had them since you took her in.0 -
If the cat needs any medication - she will get it from tomorrow under vet's supervision.
If the cat was not being fed, I doubt she was medicated in any way.
I am not insulting you, where did I?
I am just finding your way of thinking (after seeing photos/videos) completely alien to someone who gives a damn about living creatures.0
