shes going to take my cat!
the people that live next door to me have a young duaghter that always plays with my cat. they try to bring my cat, shadow, inside their house all the time, and they say how much they love her and want her. they just recently put their house up for sale, and are moving. i have a bad feeling that they are going to take shadow when they move, and she is my baby, so i would be completely lost if they did. how can i prvent this from happening? i cant keep her inside, because she loves being outside, and theres no way to keep her out of their yard. i dont know what i would do if they took her!
please help! any ideas would be more than appreciated!

Want to answer more questions in the Domesticity category?
Maybe give some free advice about: Pets?
I know how you feel, I have 2 kittens and I would be distraught if anyone tried to take them away from me.
If you're feeling anxious about this, I suggest you should confront them about it, as you're never going to see them again, you've got nothing to loose.
Or you could advise them on where they could get one of their own from?

Well, not to be costly, but you can put up a fence, but I guess that might not make your cat happy. My cat is an indoor cat, so what you probably should do is this:
When your cat is playing outside, go outside with it and watch it so the neighbors don't like bring it in their yard/house.

ok, its your cat not theres so they cant just up and take em, maybe just keep a close eye on your cat, have maybe a friend or family member look after it while away, that way nothing will happen

Even if there is a law against having pets running loose outside, the law against stealing a loved, well taken care of pet from another person is far more important and will be much more enforced. Try keeping her inside the day they move, just for a little while, and if something does happen, you can by all means call the police and get them in trouble w/ the law. *make sure you have their new address, if you can find a way to unsuspiciously get it, so you will know where to tell the police to look.

Maybe you should consider putting your cat indoors on the day they plan to move out. I know she doesn't like to be indoors, but better to make her suffer one day in the house than to have her suffer for a lifetime away from you, and vise versa.

I don't think I'd be rude to them. That would probably get your parents upset at you. What you should do is find out what day they're moving, take shaddow over the day before to say goodbye to the family, and keep her in just for the day of the moving if at all possible.
By the way, your city might have an ordinance against cats on the loose, so contacting the police might do you harm as well.
Good luck,
Sabine

don't be worried about hurting their feelings. you're never going to see them again. go over there and tell them, that you will contact the police if they take your cat. SERIOUSLY, stand up for yourself. you could atleast write it in a note and put it in their mailbox. because, there is no other way to keep shadow out of their yard.
