DO NOT FEED CAT COLLAR RED WITH REFLECTIVE WRITING RED BELL AND SAFETY RELEASE BUCKLE BY ANCOL

Product Information

We had two brothers at 14.5 months and, mentally, they were in an awful state – they’d never been allowed out, had been treated cruelly, and were just scared stiff. Now, this might seem a bit harsh but I think it is only fair if your neighbors keep feeding your cat, even after you asked them to stop, which results in your cat getting overweight, having health issues, or spending most of the time at your neighbor’s place. Hi, thanks for your comment. I would guess that you live in the USA or Australia where it’s common to keep cats indoors only. Here in Europe, people living in the countryside mostly let their cats go out during the day. It is because there is no big city traffic here, plus we don’t have coyotes, eagles and other big animals that kill pets so it’s a lot safer than in some other parts of the world. But it’s made me wonder – is it possible she’s got a type of feeding anxiety too – so won’t return home for food and would rather “take her chances” getting food elsewhere? If you want to try other methods before going to have that possibly awkward talk with your neighbors, you can get a cat collar or an ID tag that says “Don’t feed me” which should already be enough to show your neighbors that the cat doesn’t need more food and is well taken care of by its owners.

Have that talk with the neighbors and if they are normal human beings, they will understand that your cat is getting enough food at home and that there is no reason for them to participate in feeding the cat. If your cat has health issues or is getting overweight, let them know so they can understand the gravity of the situation. The other solution I have thought of is asking my neighbor if I could give her food to put out for the cats, instead of the ‘junk food’ she is using. They make a dry food version of the special diet food I feed my cat, and I would gladly buy that if she’d be willing to use it. But, I have social anxiety, so I just haven’t worked up the courage to broach this topic yet. But that will be the next phase! If you are not sure which of the neighbors is feeding your cat or you want to avoid the talk if it is not absolutely necessary, you can leave your neighbors / potential cat feeders, a note in their mailbox. I’m really worried that, as another cat, in her household, is apparently bullying her that she’s not going to ever settle and they’ll get rid of either cat. I fed her a pouch of felix catfood and she bolted it down in about 10 seconds, I had never seen a cat eat so fast so I gave her another one.As she was in the house, just going out of the open-for-most-of-the-day-door she was immediately returned, and I didn’t see her until 2 days ago when she shot into the house, was very edgy and screaming for food – in fact she never stopped screaming for food. Chances are that your neighbor thinks your cat is a stray, that you are not feeding your cat enough or that you left your cat on its own if the cat is non stop meowing in front of their doors. Maybe they just don’t see any issue in feeding someone else’s cat. The next time you go to the vet, don’t throw away the vet bill. Give it to your neighbors and let them know since they are directly affecting your cat’s health, they should participate in the veterinary costs. They will probably think twice before feeding your cat the next time. ‘Do not feed me’ cat collar or ID tag We love our cats, and it can be tempting to show them how much by ‘treating’ them to tasty extras. However, too many extras can lead to your feline friend putting on weight, making them unhappy and unhealthy.

Eventually, by deduction, we found out they’d only been fed one type of tinned food and could not stand having humans standing near them when eating – so we left them to it! I know that the cats will be meowing at me now everytime that I go outside but I will stop feeding them and see how it goes. No, the neighbor feeding his cat is not his worst issue; having a BAD neighbor is the worst part. Feral cats don’t live as long as cats with homes, but CATS WITH HOMES is the key phrase here. All my cats have been rescues, even ferals. They go outdoors but have indoor access, quality food and a warm bed, regular veterinary care, and they’ve lived between 15 and 21 years, with the shorter-lived ones taken by cancers. We know that you only mean well, but can you please stop feeding our cat because it is affecting her health. The cat is on a special diet / getting overweight / other reason which is not only bad for the cat but it also shows on our vet bills. Next time our cat visits you, please don’t give her any food as she has enough food in our house.If your cat is allowed out and your neighbors started to feed her, here are a few options that come to my mind when dealing with that issue. Talk to your neighbors If you’re selfish enough to sponsor cat overpopulation and adopt only fresh kittens who’ve never been outside, then keeping them captive inside a house can work, and yes, if they’re given enough physical and mental stimulation/activity inside the home, they can live long and happy lives. For the rest of us kind-hearted souls who rescue unwanted cats and ferals, trying to make an indoor-only cat out of one that has spent much of its life outside is like shoveling ping-pong balls while trying to cage an exuberant child until its spirit is broken. Some cats can adapt, but most will nearly destroy your house attempting to escape; forced restraint can ultimately destroy the cat’s spirit, and it can be absolutely cruel. Treats don’t always have to be food. You could show your cat your love or reward them extra fun-filled playtime, a new toy, snuggles or even a good groom if they enjoy it! But if food is your go-to treat, we recommend making sure treats don’t take up more than 10% of your cat’s daily food allowance - and their usual food will need reducing by the same amount to make sure they aren’t overeating. Maybe your cat doesn’t have allergies but you tend to feed her with the best possible food while your neighbor is feeding it ‘junk food’ or the cheapest cat food on the market which also affects their health The collar is also a good solution if you are not sure who exactly is feeding your cat but you see that she is getting more and more fat.
