I came home from work to be greeted by my next door neighbour's cat, i thought nothing of it, until i went out to my car and it was sat on my door step.
Went out this morning and it was there, just got back and it is sat on the step again.
The neighbours have gone away to Cuba on holiday and i am unsure when they are back.

Whats the best thing to do?
Leave it?
Feed it?

Depends if you like cats or not.

The feckers just abandoned their cat?

It's your cat, if you want one, the RSPCA's if you don't.

Duct tape it to your neighbour's door so that they aren't worried & looking for a missing cat when they return.

Alternatively, throw it in the bin, cats are probably the worst domestic pet going & your neighbours will most likely thank you later.

Feed it, keep receipts, bill neighbours when they get back.

Give it a bit of grub, and some water. It'll be quite happy. Do the family have a cat flap for the cat to get in and out with?

Recon Mission hehe

Give it some biscuits but don't let it in your house.

Don't touch it either, might bite!

Actually it's fairly evenly split between cat haters and lovers.

Personally I am ambivalent towards cats even though I liked my own cat, that I had years ago, very much.

But simply leaving pets uncared for, whatever their species, is wrong. Although maybe there's an automatic feeder in the house...or someone coming around who hasn't been seen yet.

Anything chopped up small that they will take.

One can be precious about this stuff or one can be practical. My old cat lived on hot dog sausages for a short while once because that was what I had available!

It'll eat any meat, unless its fed very well at home it may turn your beef down.

My moggy eats dried crud. I buy him wet food, and bits of ham, and beef, but he'll only eat the dried stuff, the pikey st. Cats are, in my experience, creatures of habit. He may not eat what you give him, but if he doesn't he may not be hungry, and may just be looking for a tickle, and nothing more.

Actually, that would be a good idea. 2 socks on your hand should be ok.

The poor bugger!

I'd feed it. Do it outside, and give it some water too. I cannot beleive they would clear off and leave it unfaired for? It is possible they left a little old lady neighbour with a key to feed the others and she had died in the night. Go check for an ever increasing number of bottles of milk on the doorstep of all the old biddies!

But seriuosly, feed the por mog. Like em or not, it is not his fault his owners are tts! But if you are not a cat fan, dont let it in! Once it is in, it will take over your house. You have been warned! !
