    Well I am sure she was going to get a trim after Easter - same as the special food she was getting..... ;)

    Now no need to worry about her being cold when shaved as kitty will be indoors so warm :)

    Good for her, she deserves it, really hope she has a happy life

    My mums cat who turned up in the garden starving died last year, he was only 9, he had FIV, dont know whether he had it when he came to her and we were heartbroken when he died, but he had the best life, thats all that matters.

    My mum has been rescuing cats one way or another for the last 40 years, shes a teacher and often shes been given cats no one else has wanted, she must have rescued at least 20 in that time, maybe 25

    I never thought id have one cat, but I got my first cat when I was working in a homeless project and someone was going into a hostel and couldnt keep the cat. He died 6 years ago

    My next two I got as a mix up, long story, they are twins. Then I found my ginger tom rascal on the streets and the last two I got was when my mum was with her cat who had FIV (scooter he was called) and saw a poster in the vets as someone was moving house and wasnt allowed cats in his new place. Another ginger cat, he was called bear, hes now called beans and his aunty who was and is still called smudge.

    I only wish I had the money to have a really big house and rescue more of them.

    It really is up to Ewa - if she wants to remove anything she will let me know xx

    I would love to see anyone trying to challenge Ewa to be honest, especially if she has her dogs with her hahahahhaahah :)

    You have absolutely done the best thing for the cat, I have no doubt about that.

    gettingready - it isn't about Ewa confronting the owners. its about theft. and courts don't see cats as living creatures - they are property. both you and Ewa need to go back and delete anything that can identify you.
    this serious advice hun - you have both admitted to conspiracy on here. Ewa has posted enough evidence to get her convicted of theft. I and others have supported you so could be charged as accessories - all it would take would be for the police to ask MSE for our details.
    being savvy - I haven't given MSE my real details - but, I know that if they dug deep they could find them.

    Argh no, I forgot my wee cat zeus, I also got him from a shelter, someone gave him back because they had kids who tormented him and he bit them, we think he was also smacked as he cant deal with sudden hand movements

    Ive had him 7 years and hes bit me about 4 times, go figure and that was only a nip, I was told not to take him as he was a biter.

    Hes sitting in my cat pen just now, renamed as zeussys house.

    I dont think that would happen for a nano second

    Ive taken rascal off the streets and also another cat that was dumped at a roadside. Its not theft to take a stray that no one else is caring for

    The people who said they were the cats owners obviously were not, wrong age, all that stuff about special diet

    No need to panic as far as Im concerned. The cat was a stray, its not chipped, its not theft, its trying to help a cat who has no home and needs one

    I cant even get police to attend when neighbours are trying to batter lumps out of one another, I seriously think that police would not give a monkeys about someone trying to rehome a cat that is obviously a stray and in need of help.

    Thats true they probably weren't the 'owners' yes people can get their cats age out by a few years but not 10! and like you say no special diet nothing actually wrong with the cat.

    I would still remove all personal details from the thread though, its not good to have your personal details available.
