I feed him all the time.He's so fat.
The neighbors never let him inside.
Don't get a cat then I say.




Nice snow pics of harry:

How does that poor thing stay warm if he's not allowed inside?

Believe me my door is open 24/7 but he just eats and then walks out.When I pick him up he lasts for 3 minutes and starts to bitch and moan..lol..he doesn't like to be cuddled..so I just feed him and let him inside alot.
But i'm sure he won't freeze to death.I never see him at night so i think they let him inside.
He likes drama..don't feel to bad for him..he's kinda spoiled..get's way to much food..lol

Hes gorgeous, how could anyone turn that beautiful cat away

i would sorta be annoyned...(what else is new) harry probably has a huge family somewhere and just comes around cause he is too lazy and selfish so he comes to charm the neighbors out of a meal. ..and scratching on the window???

i'd probably feed him and shoo him away quickly...

I don't understand people who have "outdoor" cats. Why get a pet if you're goin to kick it outside all day? Also, there's such a high risk of the critter getting hit by a car or in a fight with another animal.

Cute

Thats why my cat stays inside all the time. Plus there are people out their who get their thrills by harming cats.

I got news for ya...if you've given him a name and everything he's not homeless, he's your cat!

My Sammy is an indoor/outdoor cat, but we live in a gated development and I know the neighbors. He likes to go out for an hour or so every day to poop, scratch trees and socialize.

We also have a cat door on the patio so he can come inside when he needs to.

babynoz said:

Would you let a dog wander like that though? Do you think your neighbours appreciate cat poo in their gardens?

I'm not trying to hate, I just don't understand why people let cats out like that.

I wouldn't own a dog living in a condo...I think it's too restrictive for them. We have garden style units so I have a small yard in front. Sammy buries his poo like all good kitties, then he scratches around the palm tree and comes back inside through the kitty door. I can't imagine confining an animal indoors 24/7 any more than a human. Under those circumstances I wouldn't own a pet.

babynoz said:

How do you know he's not making use of your neighbour's yards come bathroom time?

meow85 said:

People never know whether or not a cat has left them a deposit because they bury it.

We actually have several neighbors with cats and they all hang out from time to time. There's about a dozen of them and the only event is when they occasionally snarl at one another. Their cats frequently visit my place and vice versa...nobody minds at all.

I've owned cats since I was 5 and we've always let them out to play without incident. I guess it depends on the neighborhood.

Clearly you're not a gardener.

where did you get real cotton from????

It was from a dry flower bouquet my mom once got.

I had a cat named Sammy. He was one of my favorites, but he died a few years ago. We had him for a long time. Our cats were indoor/outdoor cats too. This was kinda out in the country though. I couldn't imagine being a cat trapped inside of an apartment or house my whole life. I'd want to get out an explore. Most people around the area had indoor/outdoor cats too.

Sounds like my neighbor's cat. We thought it was a stray at first, so we fed and petted it to the point where she spends just as much time at our place than she does at her own home. She even runs up to my car everytime I come home.

..and your neighbor doesn't mind????

meow85 said:

In my country (Australia) doing that to your Cat would be considered very irresponsible. Our unique native wild life gets decimated by both wild cats and the ones with homes. Even if you put a bell on them they learn how to walk\stalk without the bell ringing. I actually like it when I see a cat being 'walked' on a leash, as strange as that must sound. Another thing people do is turn their home into an enclosure so the cat has free reign of the property without being able to roam the streets.

I'm sorry you lost your Sammy,

That's how it is where we live. Our cats like to explore and visit neighbors. We all look out for each other's cats.

An enclosure is a cool idea. We live in a gated development so our cats don't go into the street.

AnckSuNamun said:

And people say cats are not friendly, they just make friends on their own terms.

Is he begging or is he threatening to break your window if you don't feed him?
I like how your cat is just sitting there chillin' like "whatever dude"
