So I Stole a Cat...

[DaftFader]

my new nextdoor nabours have a cat ... more a kitten actualy ... it cannot be older than 1 year .. every night for the last week i have been out having a cig or smoking my e-cig and seen this cat ... i spoke to my parents who spend alot more time outside (in my garden) and they say that the cat is allways left out ... the "owners" will go out of an everning and leave it out all night. i live right next to a river where there are foxes and other preditors that may see a small young cat as easy prey. the final straw was tonight when coming home in the middle of the night the poor fucker was outside on it's own chasing invisible butterflys (as cats do) as i said b4 it has to be less than a year old and really shouldn't be out side. so i took it into my place and fed it some ham ... but my mate is going to adopt it cos it's owners are shit ... is it morraly wrong to steal a cat on these grounds?:hopeless:

oh and they don't have a cat flap ... so there's no way of the cat getting back into there's "after hours"

I would feel bad too, but a cat is a night animal and they often don't want to be inside.

Most cats always find places to sleep, do they have an outhouse of some sort? I have had cats most of my life and most of them don't like to be inside unless it's to get something to eat or a nap sometime in the daytime.
But cats are very different, maybe it want to be inside, and if it actually like it where it is now it will find back at some point.
You could let it out again and maybe feed it once in a while instead?

well i didn't lock it inside ... i took it out cos i was worried it might shit in my room and it went out played with invisible butterflys again for a bit and then as soon as i went in, tryed to follow me ... so i let it come back in again ... if it was a normal cat then i wouldn't of batted an eye lid as there's loads of cats out at night .. but this is exactly what worries me as this cat is only a baby and would get fucked up by the other cats in a scrap and i hear them fighting or shaging (can never work out what one .. i think shaging sounds more painfull then the fighting but never want to admit that to my self cos it's quite disturbing) every night. This poor thing has been left out EVERY night for over a week .. and my rents told me that the owners go out all night and just leave it ... (it left mine about an hour ago and is still running about out side ... there door is like 2 steps from mine)

na .. i gonna keep an eye on it .. if it's still getting treated like this in a week from now then i will give my m8 the ok to take it ...

[!sinner69!]

leave the cat alone....it isn't yours and cats are smart animals they know how to survive........

unless its in pain or has been/is being abused there isnt a lot you can do .. taking it would be regarded as theft and even though the rspca would give you a pat on the back on paper it just isnt yours and there aint a case .. leave a saucer'a milk out, give it a stroke now and then and im sure you will have made it happier already :)

My cat was stolen, or moreso that she chose to come live with us, she just kept following me and my mum home and we ended up keeping her.
At my last house the cat next door use to come and stay at ours for some peace and quiet because the owners were noisy tramps with a big dog, maybe just have him/her as a guest cat.
Keep an eye, i reckon your doing the right thing :)

RSPCA might have advice

[joshd96320]

give it a lil place to stay warm just a corner or something where it can curl up perhaps milk now and then... and then it can choose which residence it stays at =)

my second cat we got the same way .. it used to get kicked and shit by it's old owners and just keped coming through our exsiting cats catflap and decided to move in oermenantly .. the owners didn't even notice it was gone i dont think .. and if they did they certainly didn't care.

and sinner as i said b4 if the cat was old enough to look after its self then i would leave it .. but it's only young and quite obviosly nieve just buy the way it walked into a random persons house with out even worrying that i may hurt it ... i could of been a fox or a dog

Why don't you nick the cat then send them a letter made up from cuttings saying "WE HAVE YOUR CAT" See how much money you can get.

i'm doing it for the love man ... not the money :laugh_at:

i have been thinking and may tell my mate to just leave it and i will keep an eye on it .. mby talk to the owners and see what they say .. can't really take it after that anyway as they will know somethings up if i just been talking to them about there cat and then it goes "walkies" strait after

[p0ly]

or do wot cliffy said
