My neighbour's have been living next door for 1yr now, and I only got to meet her yesterday, as she had her car stolen, which brought me to ask her about her big black long-haired cat.
I found out his name is SPARTACUS, and he was her friend's who left it with her to mind , until she came back for him, and she never has, she told me he is not allowed inside as her flatmates don't like cat's, so poor Spartacus live's outdoors permanently, sure there is some shelter around here and at the property, a shed and garage, and there is our caravan and under our house, but still I feel sad for his life, I wish he could have as good a life as my two do.
Now you all know my cats are indoor/outdoor, and unfortunatley spartacus does cause problems with my cat's, I have caught him indoor's at my home in summer eating the cat food and having Lexie bailed up in the corner.
However the girl said oh he roams alot and goe's away for day's, this is true, because recently i have not seen him for over a week, until yesterday, i saw him running by.
She told me she and her partner are leaving in 2mths time to get a place of their own, I can only hope she take's him with her, and makes him her real pet, and letting him indoors.
He does have a flea collar , but I wonder how often he get's groomed? And he is long-haired.
He doe's not appear to respond to his name, and he is scared of most people, however I don't want to encourage him on my property for fear of the cats getting hurt.
But he seems a lone soul, without a real loving home, I guess he is not entirely alone, and does get fed, but still not a real good life.
I think she would be better to give him up to the CAT'S LEAGUE, and hope they find him a good home.
