Almost stole a cat!

[Az]

There is a stunning ginger tom round here and I just got back from the supermarket and he was in the front garden, I called him over and he came over straight away I couldn't resist so gave him some of Cheetahs biscuits and after that he wanted to come indoors

Hes soooooo friendly I'll have to take some pics next time!

I'd take him like a shot if his owners didnt want him hes really ace.

So have any of you 'nearly' stole a neighbours cat?

[Naomi]

No altho my neighbours nearly stole Moli but we share her now

Not nearly Az, I did!! He was being neglected, so I stole him away and off to a new home, I asked where he was some days later, they said "dunno, dont care!"

Does he look abandoned; or is he plump & well-fed? Maybe you could rationalize that he's a stray and adopt him...??? I think I "rescued" rather than "stole"Misty...little blue torbie about 3 months old appeared in the back garden..I fed her & told her to go home, as a very large Aby who didn't like other cats lived here. Well, she was still there in the morning; when I got back from the market they were forecasting snow, sleet & freezing rain, so I let her in,,,stayed for 20 years!!! Do post some pictures if you can & let us know if you adopt him...what would Cheetah think????

I somehow imagine if he's that friendly and laid back he's not a stray. Although most cats are I think at heart oppotunists regardless of how well they are loved/looked after.

There used to be a real big bruiser of a black tom who lived across the road from us (going back some years now this is!!) and i used to try and lure him home..it never quite worked as he used to hate the resident tom of ours (sherman)..but i still tried!
We used to have regular stray/semi-ferals who used to stay with us in years gone by..they all tended to clear away when Florrie came though...

Amen to that Kazz! The cat I grew up with was a VERY picky eater...used to worry my Mom, even though he wasn't skinny. She found out much later that he had a regular round of neighors to visit who fed him...he did an excellent "small hungry cat" imitation....

almost had a tabby cat he really wanted to move in with us, he loved ronnie n reggie but didnt like ben the dog.

I'm glad I'n not the only one who's been tempted

DM - no, he's not abandoned - from memory I think I heard that his owner loves him to bits They two are animal lovers they have a few cats I think and two dogs... a Staff and a staff cross. But this cat is always out and about and is not afraid of the roads I'm assuming it is there cat mind I will have to do some digging and see who's it is. Will report back when I do

I only let him in the front porch because I was worried Cheetah might catch something as shes an indoor cat. I think she'd like him tho, shes such a little flirt
