Hvad skal man gøre, når din kat begynder at bo sammen med dine naboer
Det er virkelig sandt, når man siger, at en kat vælger sin ejer, man kan ikke vælge en kat. Dette er aldrig mere sandt, når din firbenede ledsager vælger et andet hjem at besøge og potentielt bo i, i stedet for dit.
At eje, passe på og elske en kat kan være en vidunderlig berigende oplevelse - men hvad sker der, når din kat begynder at bo et andet sted? Nogle katteejere har ikke noget imod, at deres kat bliver fodret og elsket et andet sted - så længe de kommer hjem for at sove om natten. For andre kan det være en meget smertefuld og frustrerende oplevelse at se deres kat blive passet og se tilfreds ud som følge af at bo et andet sted - især for små børn.
I situationer som denne er der to sider af sagen. Dine naboer fodrer måske utilsigtet (forhåbentlig) din kat og lokker derfor den til at besøge dem regelmæssigt, eller din kat kommer ind og spiser mad i andre hjem og "adopterer" potentielt en ny familie.
For de beskedne naboer er det ofte ikke sikkert, at den lille portion mad, de giver din kat, faktisk kan være skadelig og forårsage allergiske reaktioner, overfodring, fedme og fordøjelsesproblemer. Og så skal du jo betale dyre dyrlægeregninger og passe en syg killing.
Du bør også overveje muligheden for, at grunden til, at din kat nu besøger eller endda bor et andet sted, er en reaktion på deres hjemmeliv - måske på grund af andre katte, dine egne eller børn, eller generelt føler de behov for at flytte til et nyt og mere sikkert territorium. I nogle tilfælde ender de oprindelige ejere med at træffe den svære beslutning at lade deres kat blive medlem af deres nyligt adopterede familie.
Det kan være en lidt akavet situation, men for din kats velbefindende, og så du kan beholde den som din egen, er der masser af metoder, du kan prøve for at afhjælpe situationen.

- Go and speak with your neighbour and voice your concern - ask them to not let your cat into their home, or not to feed them.
- Sæt et lyst halsbånd og et mærke på, der beder din kat om ikke at blive fodret - med dit navn og nummer og endda en klokke.
- Giv din kat god mad, og sørg for at den er steriliseret/kastreret.
- Træn din kat til at blive i din have, modificer din have for at forhindre den i at komme ud, eller begræns adgangen udendørs til dagtimerne.
- Lær dine naboer at kende, og udtryk dine ønsker – dette er især nyttigt, inden din kat lærer dem at kende!
- As a last resort, call your local RSPCA/ASPCA to tell them of your concerns - particularly if your neighbours are not respecting your wishes.
- Ligeledes, hvis du er den uventede nabo, og du har en venlig kat, der hyppigt besøger dit hjem, er der også metoder, du kan følge for at forhindre den i at gøre det.
- Sig til katten, at den skal gå væk. Hvis du ikke kan afskrække den fra at besøge dig, så giv den ikke nogen opmærksomhed - og hvis du selv har en kat, så giv kun dit kæledyr opmærksomhed.
- Prøv at undgå at lukke det ind i dit hus.
- Hvis en kat pludselig kommer ind i dit hjem, så giv den et hurtigt sprøjt med en vandpistol for at afskrække den.
- Tal med kattens ejere om bekymringer - og prøv at finde en aftale, hvor I kan samarbejde om at forhindre katten i at komme til jeres ejendom.
Desværre er der undtagelser fra reglerne, såsom tilfælde af vanrøgt fra de oprindelige ejere eller hvis nogen bevidst lokker og holder en kat indendørs væk fra dens ejere. Hold øje med tegn på denne form for adfærd, og handl derefter.

Same here too, Sara. A wild cat left 3 wild kittens in my backyard last Christmas Eve. I have cared for them since. However, as they stated growing I organised with a local vet to have the 3 kittens de-sexed. But my neighbour decided to entice them with snacks and trap them in her house for days at a time. I asked her not to feed them, but she ignored me. She reported them to a cat charity for their TNR program...she had high hopes of grabbing the little boy that she'd taken a shine to as her own. Then when I went to take him for his vet appointment he'd vanished. I searched for 7 days, only to find later that my neighbour had him inside her house the entire time. I told her to hand him over so I could get him to the vet for a check-up and neutering. But she refused. I said he needed a check-up because he had been missing for 7 days...she still refused. Then things escalated. I said if she didn't hand him over so I could get him care, that I would call the Police....she replied that she didn't care. So I gave her one last chance. I literally begged her to release him so he could go to the vet. She reluctantly handed him over. So I took him home and placed him on the deck outside (he was so terribly ill), and took another neighbour to the local pharmacy (a pre-arranged commitment). When I arrived home 10 minutes later the cat was gone. I assumed he'd gone under the house for 'security'. I searched under the house all night with a torch. I couldn't find him. I asked the neighbour if she'd seen him, and she berated me for being ' an irresponsible pet carer' because I'd let him go under the house. So I searched all night, and finally at 6.30am while checking the side of the house I saw my neighbour letting him out if her back door. I confronted her on the spot. And it turns out she'd had him all along. It wasn't until I checked my security camera footage that I saw her enter my yard through the back gate, take the sick little boy from the back deck, and then running back to her house with gim. By now he hadn't eaten for 8 days. I said if she didn't hand him over I was coming in to get him. I finally got him to the vet, his diagnosis was an intestinal blockage. The bill was $2700 which I couldn't afford. I have a small contingency for vet bills, but not thousands. Fortunately a local cat charity picked up his bill, but I had to sign over ownership of him to them. He finally had his first meal in 9 days. Fast forward 2 weeks, and one of the girl cats had 6 kittens under the house. But the neighbour was STILL kidnapping the next cat she had her eye on. When this mother's kittens were 2 weeks old, the neighbour kept the mother overnight. 2 of the kittens passed away from their mother not being able to get to them. It was still cold from winter. That mother is now desexed and her kittens are being adopted out (neutered, microchipped and vaccinated). THEN the neighbour turned her attention to the remaining cat. A black tuxedo. I am still trying to catch this one for desexing...BUT the neighbour has been trapping her now. Once again I've searched the neighbourhood...but I've heard her cries from the neighbour's downstairs bathroom tonight. The neighbour knows I've been sick with cancer for 3 years, but this doesn't deter her from what she's doing. It's been incredibly stressful over the past 6 months. And I've only ever tried to do the right thing by these wild little kittens that were left with me. In desperation I visited our police station tonight . They can't do anything, but suggested I speak with Animal Services first thing in the morning, as they apparently have the power to enter a property and seize an animal. I'm thinking if this is the only way I can get this little girl to the vet...then maybe that's what I have to do.
Jeg har det samme problem. Jeg adopterede min familiekat og fik at vide, at jeg holdt hende inde hos mig for længe, og at jeg burde lukke hende ud. Jeg har et par gange oplevet, at mine naboer bankede på min dør sent om aftenen og lukkede hende ud og ind i mit hus. Hun er løbet væk for at lege om natten, og naboerne grinede bare. Hun måtte opereres for at fjerne de fleste af hendes tænder. Dyrlægerne rådede mig til, at hun tog meget på i vægt, og at jeg burde reducere hendes foder. Jeg har reduceret til 1 pose om dagen efter anbefaling. Jeg havde en privat snak med en af mine naboer og bad dem om at lukke hende ud, da det bare var hende og mig, og jeg savner hende og er bekymret for hende. Dette blev afvist, men da jeg forklarede, hvad dyrlægerne sagde, var de enige. Igen i går aftes var hun i deres hus, og jeg er ved at miste mine forstande. Jeg ønsker ikke at ødelægge mit naboskab, men jeg lader hende komme ind hver dag. Derefter går jeg ud fra at give hende snacks og derefter se mig kalde på hende i en time. Jeg tror ikke, jeg kan gøre det her længere. For mig, naboer, hvis katten er i god stand, lad den være i fred. Jeg har ikke noget imod at blive kælet med og have det sjovt, så det ikke bliver en daglig rutine. Det er bare dårlig opførsel og ærligt talt respektløst.
Then after she gave birth, she stopped resisting me in petting her or her kittens and also started following me everywhere i went.After that for 4 whole months I hadn't seen her interact with her owners and once when I tried to force and interaction between them she just hissed at them and ran away. It was then that I found out that they had been raising it for almost 4 years, it was store bought apparently.
After that now it's been 10 months, since she came to me , I still feed her whatever I can afford( ps: I'm still a student with no income so it depends based on pocket money) and she just enters the house sleeps on my bed for a good nap , eats her food and water and then goes to sleep somewhere i don't know exactly where as the seasons are changing and she finds new places to hide, she's given birth to 2 litters in the past year and is pregnant with her third. I have also been taking her for health care as the owners don't seem to have chipped her is it immoral for me to to do this i don't know but even if I were to do it again I'd still do it.
