My good friend has a small shy rescue cat. He's got some health issues due to his bad start and so is on a special diet, is under vets care, is insured, jabbed etc.
However, it appears that a neighbour of hers is trying to entice the cat away from her home and into theirs. He's already been telling her how the cat needs worming/ de-fleaing/feeding and how her cat is always at their house as it's better cared for. She has since found a house door open with a bowl of wet cat food just inside.
It is getting increasingly difficult to entice the cat back because of the -and she's having to also deal with the after-effects of the cat's diet.
She's tried talking to the neighbour, has written too explaining the situation. Cat is now grounded in the hope that it will re-establish its territory at home, but still the neighbour persists.
She fears that she may have to re-home the cat to somewhere that understands his needs, rather than risk his health if she can't prevent him being fed elsewhere. But this thought is really upsetting her.
Is there anything else she can do?
