Don't feed strays

I never am able to follow this rule. So we now have another hang about cat. She i think is about to explode kittens (mine are not the daddies!) or she is just really really fat. Keeps stealing my poor darlings food and eating the lot, twice as much as mine eat! So have had to start locking mine in for an hour a day to eat without being bullied away, and can't leave any food down for them anymore (i like to leave a bowl of kibble for them to munch) fat * has it all gone in one sitting.

Shes very cute though, and plays in the tree like a kitten. I wonder if she will have her kittens here or pee off home again, can't afford kittens that don't even belong to me lol

We have cats and foxes coming into our garden all the time and we never feed them, they're just invasive idiots

Im a feeder. If i see something i automatically think "oh it needs food!" lol

All the strays where you live are fat then, eh?

Yeah! Really are lol. even the birds are fat. Dad even feeds the buzzards sometimes. We're awful people really

I'm sure you're not awful people Hayley, just doing was is a natural reaction to seeing a stray animal. I must admit I have never fed a cat though but would feed the birds.

See this is my other half's problem she keeps feeding the stray and then she wonders why he still lives at home . She does feed the birds but cats or other animals are a no no, having the neighbours cat thinking our garden is its own is bad enough without feeding strays. But your animal lovers it's just in your nature if animals need help you help because your nice people

Yeah you're nice people Hayley!

Chances are that if this is a feral cat, and pregnant, she is feeding herself up and will disappear again once she has her kittens.

OR, she knows a good thing when she finds it - loads of food for herself, therefore giving her plenty of milk to feed her kittens, who will soon be growing and wanting extra food so will follow their mum to ... ?

Enjoy all your cats Hayley! (PS Good luck - kittens are awful cute)

Shes quite friendly, but shes from the dairy farm, so likely the kittens would be drowned. so i kind of want her to stay!! lol
