Please stop feeding my cats.
It is not right or fair.
I spent a great deal of money and time making sure my cats are healthy and cared for. You offering them dairy cream and other treats is making them fat and unhealthy.
You have no right to feed other peoples’ animals. Please stop it, Now.
Before I shove this note through my nutty neighbour's door, any ideas how else I might phrase this?
-
If your neighbour is nutty , I dont think it matters how you phrase it............sigh
Good luck :hug: :hug:
-
"My cats are on special diets. I appreciate your fondness for them, but some of the things you're feeding them appear to be making them ill. Could you please refrain from giving them food? Thank you." ;)
-
Thats excellent JS ;D
-
Can you tell I've had tricky neighbours to deal with...? :evillaugh:
-
:rofl:
-
Thats excellent JS ;D
:agreed: BUT this is the nutty neighbour who "reported" me for neutering a stray boy she assumed (wrongly) had an owner. She recently confessed to feeding "all the local cats, they like cream and eggs, it's what we do!" (in her own words). :-[
-
Has she her own cat?
-
Yes, four. Two of whom she "acquired" from other neighbours in the street. Her last two kitties were grotesquely obese and mysteriously "disappeared". She refuses to enter into dialogue about them >:(
-
Perhaps you can invite your neighbour to help with the vet's bills which result from them feeding your cat with incorrect food. You can say they're on special 'medical' diets for some mysterious condition.
-
I think I would go with Shonagh's version, due to neighbours nuttiness you don't know how she's going to react so don't give her any ammunition by being 'offish' with her (even though you've every right to be :hug: )
-
Tell her they're diabetic!
-
I'd go with a mixture of the two, be nice but also point out that your cats have a special diet and feeding them cream etc will make them ill and you are sure she wouldn't want to cause them harm if she is a cat lover.... blah blah blah...
Also, if her cats are obese perhaps she might need reporting to RSPCA?
Some people don't realise that overfeeding and inappropriate diets can be every bit as bad as underfeeding.
If it was her kids or grandkids you were feeding cakes and sweets etc to, she'd soon have a go at you.

I'd go with the polite way and if her cats are obese, I'd report her to the RSPCA
