Cat Owner Finds A Note Attached To Its Collar, Learns Her Secret

427

ADVERTISEMENT

One day a cat owner nicknamed ‘SliceofToast‘ was surprised to find a note attached to their kitty’s collar. Turns out their cat Nala had a secret.

“Hi, your lovely cat visits us 2-3 time a day. We would love to know her name & where she lives in case of injury,” – the note read.

“Nala ventures into the outside a lot. Luckily our neighbourhood is nice, so it’s not a problem, but I was surprised when she had this on her collar,” – wrote the cat owner. “I thought it was really nice that our neighbours were concerned for her! I’ll be sure to send another note back!”

    We did this too, after my cat 'Gizmo' used to leave for days at a time. Turns out that cat was living in 2 other homes. I realized this after he came home with a new flea collar! funny-cute...9ab9e0.jpg funny-cute-cat-leaning-sad-face-579f47e9ab9e0.jpg

    I had a cat who did this as well. He would visit my neighbor, who said my cat Buster would lie by the fireplace and watch him paint. I felt a twinge of jealousy. Then another neighbor sees me with Buster and remarks that they thought he must have a home but didn't know where--their kids thought he was their cat. That one stung. My cat was totally cheating on me. When did he find the time?! He always seemed to be home with me.

    We have just been adopted by a 13 yr old female cat, we thought she was a feral cat till one day she turned up with a flea collar on, she took over our greenhouse ( she is not a house cat ) she was flea ridden and red raw all around here neck and ears when we came back from a four day trip away, we took her to the vet and they injected her with some anti-biotic's and flea killer, she never left out yard for over a month and this woman came around shouting out looking for some animal, after asking what she had lost she said her cat, we said we had been adopted by a cat and she looked in the greenhouse at this cat and she said that's my cat, when the cat saw her it went flying around the greenhouse as if it was mental, we asked why she didn't look after her cat better she said her other cats and dogs beat her up, I said what about the fleas & ticks she has she didn't want to answer that question, but we told her you cannot have her back and we are going to report you to the RSPCA .

    You did the right thing. If she can't care for all her cats and dogs equally, she shouldn't have decided to be the owner of so many pets.

    My cat Lulu would have breakfast at home, second breakfast at the neighbours, afternoon tea at the same neighbours, then dinner at home. Amazingly, she wasn't overweight. All that exercise trekking to and fro, I guess.

    Torties are very adventurous and people-loving! My old roommate had a Malamute, and I had a tortie cat, and the two pets were great friends. When my roomie and I would walk her dog, the kitty would follow us down the street, sometimes walking right beside us, and other times forging ahead. Our neighbors who might be out in their yards in the evening would laugh to see us "walking the cat." One funny thing was that she would only go so far--she would stop and sit down at one particular corner as we walked farther with the dog--and wait patiently until we came back that way, then pick up with us again. They were both wonderful pets, and the tortie cat lived to be 19 years old and only recently passed away.

    We had a cat that came to us every afternoon. Knocked on our door to come inside (she demanded to be let in) and spent the night. In the morning she would stay by the door to be let out. She even played with our dogs - more like she picked on them. Anyway, 1 day someone came by and told us that they were moving and thank you for letting their cat stay with us. We (our dogs too) really miss her. Im sure she found another place to crash. LOL

    I had an old black & white farm cat that 'adopted' a couple that moved into the vacant home one house down from mom & dad's place. One time weeks later, this couple while at mom & dad's for coffee, commented on this 'wonderful B&W woods cat' that strolled-into their home while they were moving in. They were 'afraid' of this cat so they let him come & go at will. They provided a bowl for the cat, gave it milk and snacks, etc. The cat slept near their fireplace. And then while talking about this wildcat, 'Mr. Mittens' himself came wandering out of mom & dad's partially open bedroom door and they pointed & exclaimed "-That's him! That's the cat!!" We all had a good laugh when we told them it was my cat, -and he is a mooch...

    My cat Blue never missed a meal time, but occasionally he would go on an adventure for a couple days, I thought, if it was more than two days, I'd go looking, one time the neighbors grown son took him home thinking he was a stray, another time he was with a different neighbor for almost two weeks till I knocked on his door, a third neighbor said he visited just about every day, she knew he was mine, and liked the little visits because she wasn't able to get a cat of her own. I would have loved to have a tiny camera and GPS on him. Blue-yawni...25ba5b.jpg Blue-yawning-57dc6ee25ba5b.jpg

    Why don't people give their cats collars and tags? If you let your cat out she/he should have a tag with her name, phone#, and street address on it.

    I personally don't because of survival. My cats live in the country. Anything that gets caught on something or makes noise could be potentially fatal if there's a predator in the area.

    When I was growing up my family had a friendly affectionate orange tabby that would disappear for a few weeks at a time, then show back up not even hungry and acting like nothing was out of the ordinary. We could only figure that she had adopted another family in the area.

    We have the neighborhood mooch-cat Mack at our door looking for leftovers. He lso visits a few other houses - all with cats. Someone trapped him as a nuisance cat, but she's changed her mind, after learning Mack takes care of the rodents. You have good neighbors.

    I share several cats with my neighbours. That is, there are two of their cats who permanently live with me now and three of mine spend most of their day in my neighbour's garden and terraces as well. It was a little bit awkard at first but now we just got used to this kind of shared parenthood.
