Our car is about 5.6kg should be closer to 4 really so we have been restricting her diet by measuring her food but she doesn't seem to be loosing any. We have had issues with a neighbour before letting her in to their house then lying about it when I can see the cat stood behind her! So maybe wrongly I'm assuming they are feeding her too possibly.

Any ideas what I can do?

Custom collar that says "Do not feed. Requires special diet for long term medical issue."

1st link I found no used, no association etc...

edit: Dogs?!! What!

Perhaps ones for cats more appropriate: https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/468106510/personal...

We almost lost one of our cats when the selfish old farts up the road kept repeatedly feeding him when I had asked and asked them not to.

They had 3 of their own too. Just as thick as pigst.

In the end we've just had to keep him inside which has pissed him off no end but if he ever gets out he's straight up the road again.

Just reinforces the fact that cats have no loyalty to anyone but themselves. The ginger git!

One of ours is currently getting fed up the road. We weren't sure were he was going, until we saw him on the drive eating food they've left out for him!

We spoke to them and lied saying he is diabetic and on a special diet and also has a flea problem (hoping that the threat of fleas will leave him alone).

He popped home for ten minutes last weekend, and today for a hour or so. We've given him some nice posh food in the hope he prefers that over than what he is getting else were ha.

Ours are looking chunky and I noticed them spending a lot of time next door, initially I thought it's because of our young son and them wanting some peace but then saw two cat bowls in their garden and our cats eating out of them. That'll explain the weight gain and fat shaming at the vets despite us measuring out their portions daily.

I had to knock on their door and ask them to stop feeding them. Hopefully our cats can get back to their natural weight.

Years ago and elderly neighbour knocked on our door and spoke to my wife.
He said he had a cooked breakfast once a week on a Saturday and wanted to share it with our cat who always called on him .
He lived alone and we said yes of course, if it makes you happy that's fine .
We just used to not feed the cat on a Saturday morning.

As an aside that cat used to bring live squirrels into our house, that would get quite exciting.

My MiL has an Apple AirTag on her dog, could you use a cat type one so you can see how long the cat is spending at their house.

No idea if it works, but something like this
