We had an email from our neighbour over the road suggesting we take our cat to the vet. He said she's always hungry and is upsetting his cat, but he doesn't like to see her hungry and gives her food every time she comes round. He also suggests that he thinks she might have a thyroid problem. Now, I appreciate he has the cat's welfare at heart but would have preferred he come and discuss it with us rather than email.
I explained that yes the cat is skinny and does look poor, no she doesn't have any identifiable illness as we've had her tested and tested, she is regularly wormed and has access to food 24/7. I asked that he firmly remove her from his house and not give her any food to discourage her from visiting.
BUT, if you feed a cat it will keep coming round - what does he expect?! I gave her a good groom this morning as she isn't great at keeping her coat tidy and she hates this with a passion, so guess what? She's not here......but I think I know where she might be!
