    Well, I've left a message with the couple who owned Spooky and the cat that looked like this one. No response yet. I've also asked around a few of the neighbours, but no one is claiming the cat. Someone from the CPL is getting me a paper collar that you write on "If you own this cat call xxxx".

    Other than that, I've found a local vet that I can take it to to get its chip checked, but I need to borrow a pet carrier, and then I'll take it at the weekend.

    The ex-neighbours won't call back.

    Nobody will claim him via the collar.

    The vet won't find a chip.

    Face up to it. You have a cat.

    That poor cat. I could weep.

    Do you believe in reincarnation?

    You might come back as a cat one day and need someone's help.

    Sorry lemoncurd. The cat has you. Resistance is futile.

    You carrying on as if you have a choice. You've been chosen by one of our feline overlords and they don't take no for an answer. :D

    Did the neighbours have a flap? It may well be used to popping out for a crap any time it feels like it. You can train cats to only poop in the daytime and to meow at the door, but it's easier to have a flap.

    Perhaps after 10 years it's time to get her out of the hole:D.

    A random cat? Is there such a thing as a non-random cat.
    Cats are concentrated chaos bundled in a package of pure suave.


    I'm glad someone else had the same thought as me!

    I've got four cats, and they are all random!

    Three are bundled into packages of pure suave, the other is JUST concentrated chaos with no packaging......


    :eek:

    That's funny, not for you though hey! Thanks for the update. I hope you keep him/her. You may as well get a litter tray, so it doesn't happen again. :)

    That would be conceding defeat. I'm not waving the white flag yet!

    Everything under the sun if it shits in my hall again.

    Until I know if it has a registered owner, it will be called "Cat".

    Has it used the flap at all yet? It may need some intensive indoctrination on location and method.

    This makes me think of the You've Been Framed clip of the cat who insisted on having the door opened for it, even though the owners tried to show it there was no glass in the lower panel and it could have just walked straight out!

    I haven't got a catflap (when I said "I had a flap" - I meant "I went a bit mad" :o)

    I don't know what it does between when I leave the house at 8am and when I get back at 7:30pm, but it's always sat outside the back door when I get home. What it's going to do the first weekend I'm away, I don't know!

    That is the best descriptions of a cat I've ever read!




    This thread has made me laugh a LOT!

    I love how everyone is winding up the OP about his 'new cat'.

    But, I have to agree with most people here.. it is highly likely you will keep this cat.. despite presents in the hallway.. cats are very persuasive.
