Re: I've lost my little Casper


only just caught up with your news, Phil.
I'm glad Casper has returned and settled down again. Long may it continue

Re: I've lost my little Casper


Thanks

he'd been gone today since about mid morning but I've just fed Paddy, gave the tin a tap outside the back door and Casper was into the kitchen almost straight away so that's really pleased me.

Re: I've lost my little Casper


Bit of an update.

Casper never came home last night although that's normal for him if you put aside the last few weeks.

Anyway - this morning the phone rang and it was the lady from the house a few fields away that he'd been at when he was AWOL

She was very cross. "Come and get your cat" she said.

I said thanks for letting me know and be along shortly and she then had a rant to say he's picking on her cat and that when she'd tried to pick him up he'd attacked her.

She even said if she sees him again she will take him straight to rescue rather than call me.

Now I accept he's been going into their cat flap which isn't ideal but these are the people who 'took him in' and delighted in telling me that they've been feeding him meat pies and smoked salmon !

So - he's back home again and were back to having the flap closed which isn't great for Paddy and gives us les freedom when it comes to having the door open for the dogs.

Re: I've lost my little Casper


Oh dear ....... you don't want an angry neighbour too, they've certainly been giving Casper mixed messages. You'll have to keep him in now and put up with being a doorman for the others. Really not sure what else you can do.

Re: I've lost my little Casper


They're not really neighbours as such - they live about a mile away across some fields.

Re: I've lost my little Casper


Oh dear Phil, how difficult. They were wrong in the first place to encourage him .
Sounds like Casper has been served an asbo by them
I guess Angie is right, can't think of anything else you can do

Re: I've lost my little Casper


An asbo yes lol

I'll just keep him in (again) for a few a days.

Seems silly though. It's not like letting a new cat out for the first time. He's not been 'lost' or 'forgotten' where he lives. Just that he's taken to their spoils.

Re: I've lost my little Casper


I can't think of anything else to keep the cats in while letting the dogs go out through the flap. In a situation like this I would rather be safe than sorry and have them give your cat away.

He enjoys living here though. Has done for the last 5 years since we got him as a kitten.

The dogs don't have freedom to go in and and out when they please but paddy (the other cat) does.

They've fed him to the point that he likes to visit however I think it's a bit out of order to now say they'll take him to the cat shelter if he shows up again.
