Cat going in neighbours house!

he isn't cheating on you! he is just 'spreading his love around'. and tbh - if he is going there and they DONT feed him - then its purely for the pleasure of their company.
he is 'visiting friends'. and you wont stop him unless you keep him in. some cats are sociable, they enjoy human company. and love to visit various 'humans'.
as long as these 'friends' don't feed him or try to 'keep' him - what harm is there?

My cat has done the same, she spends most of her time with a family down the road that don't have any other cats (we have 3 other cats). I want her to be happy but it really hurts when the mother of the family tells me how affectionate she is. She used to be like that with us but now she just comes home every other day or so to have some food and leaves immediately. She suffers us to stroke her but isn't affectionate with us like she used to be. I feel sad but I guess at least there's a reason and it isn't because she's ill.

I understand how you feel, I'd be quite sad too if my cat who wanted for nothing chose to spend time with someone else. Having said that, there is the CUTEST cat that comes to visit us everyday to roll around our garden and get us to stroke him. I imagine how the owners would feel, so I don't feed him or give him a lot of attention, but he stays for ages anyway, the tart! He's helping my cat socialise again after losing her two companions though, so I am glad for his visits.

Haha I was about to start my own thread about my little girly cat wandering into my neighbours houses!!!

I had a knock on the door last night to inform me that Harriet had been found sleeping in my neighbours beds or sat on their kitchen work tops :eek:

As my neighbour was mentioning this the little moo sauntered out of another neighbours house.

Short of shutting her in (which I'm not going to do) I'm not sure what to do!!!

We have a cat that visits for a fuss that we call floozie cat - she doesn't come in the house but she rolls all round the path when you're stroking her. Cheers up my morning no end.

We hardly see ours anymore, he comes in to flop & eat & will occasional ask for a stroke but he is such a tom that he is out catching mice & having fun. Our next door neightbours, the only neighbours attached to our house, said that when we went away for 2 nights they were planning to pop in to feed & let him in & out but didn't need to as he just move in with them for 2 nights! He even had the cheek to meaow at their door at 11pm for food & sleep. When her bf went away the 2nd night the cat even slept stretched out in his spot.

I don't get jelous though as I knew he was a tom when I got him & having a young child in the house, appreciate that he might prefer not being manhandled by child at all times & finds somewhere quieter to hang out.

One of ours visits the neighbours..... and steals their stuff!

We don't know which house it is but he has brought in tonnes of cat toys taken from someone's house, including a stuffed toy on a stick with a metre long tail which somehow he got over the fence...

We've also had make up sponges brought in, and the latest was a silicone egg poacher and a spring onion which had been dug out of someone's veg patch. We are rather embarrassed by his antics and really hope no one has seen him do it..... Not entirely sure what to do about it!

So they all have their character traits... some just love going into other houses to share their love around, others steal the possessions of unsuspecting home owners......

A few years ago we'd been out for Xmas lunch at my parents. On coming home I went into the kitchen and tripped over a very large roast gammon joint. I cursed myself for not putting it away safely before I remembered that we had a beef joint...........

Someone, somewhere was very angry, I'd imagine:eek:
Wish I'd seen him trying to stuff it through the catflap!

Im sure cats have a gene that's been bred into them by a intellectual stray a few a hundred years ago where by they can sense that some human is an animal lover more so to their own kind than anyother and the gene kicks in gives them some sort of light bulb moment to "train" this human into feeling sorry for it by acting all orphaned hard done by and starved. My tinkerbell (rest her soul) would approach someone who looked gullible and was willing to pay her a little attention then go into this mode where she would act like this person was the only person in the world who showed a little affection, flopping on the floor and rolling around and making soft gentle vocal tones, getting up rubbing against their legs purring affectionately, not letting the person go by following them close behind the tripping them up by running under their footsteps only so they would stop and pay her a little more time and affection, then get on the floor again lay on her back squeeze her head in her paws and push her ears forward to look cute. many a time I caught her doing it and the person affected going "awwww she so cute, I wish I could could take you home, I would have you if could, your a cute little baby aren't you" all the while the cat is just lapping it up thinking "got ya hook line and sinker hehehe (in that devious devilish thought tone)". im sure half my neighbors were sucked in by that "act" too. but she was hooked to me I was hers.

I hope my new neighbours have a free cat for me. No cost, no litter trays, or having to feed it. One cat on demand ... fabulous.

Boot it out once I've had enough, or want to go out. Guilt free, free cats. We should all have one.
