Hey no apologies needed to me, i am as passionate about this as you all are.


I think a few of you have mis-understood my post, i was NOT going to have her put to sleep, no way would i ever do that with someone elses cat, he was saying to me he did not want to take her to the vet as he was scared they would suggest it, and he thinks she is still ok, but i must say i tend to disagree with him.

They do need to take much better care of her, considering her age and health, but what can one do, you just have to advise and hope people listen.

Yes you cannot just take someone else's pet, i am not so sure on legality issues here in NZ, as there is no proof of real ownership where cats are concerned, but then if you have vet records i guess that would prove your ownership to a degree, i remember i had that problem with that bad owner of Ellie and Nikki when i reported her to the SPCA because of one of the other cats that was badly hurt and she ignored it, she denied ownership, even though it was one of Ellie's and Nikkis grown up kittens, the SPCA could not touch her,sadly i had to trap kitty and have her put to sleep ,it was a very horrible experience, one i don't care to ever go through again.

Yes will be walking by every day , and checking on kitty,i mean how can you leave a kitty full of fleas, i just still cannot fathom that one out, your whole house will be full of them and you would get bitten, one good reason to de flea, but then i remember Ellie's bad owner, she would not let the cats inside, but they would jump in the windows, i would see them from my upstairs window which is where i did all my spying to see what was really going on, looked right in to her place, and then she would spend like 150 dollars getting the pest control people in twice a year to bomb the place, how stupid is that, cheaper to de flea the cats and so much better for their health too,honestly some people just are so stupid aren't they?

I do wish there was more i could do, but the guy seems to care for her, he just is not doing enough in my opinion, but then not everyone would do what i or you would do, shame that it is.

So let us hope Pixie will be ok.

Freedom i just read your post, great minds think alike, i did think of talking to my vet about it, he is very approachable and we know him really well, but would it not be something he could not discuss with someone else, like if he knows the cat and owner, like with doctors ,you cannot discuss with anyone else,so could be an issue i think.

I don't know the financial situation , but he lives in a better house than me, has two dogs and two cats, a wife and kids, thats about all i found out,sometimes even if people have money , they just don't want to spend it on an elderly cat, which is so mean.

I Think my hands are a bit tied here really, i think i just have to keep a close eye on pixie, she is usually outside every day, so i should be able to see her and look at her, mind you still if i do notice anything, don't know what i can do to make him take her, he said he was thinking about it now, but you know how it is, probably just said that to keep me off his back.

I have to be careful, i cannot be seen as harassing these people, and if i am , then i can never seen Pixie, or go on their property, so i don't want that.

I also DON'T want added stress in my life right now, i have some health issues and i really cannot get myself too stressed,they are not serious, but they do need attention, but that does not mean i would let an animal be abused or neglected , but i am having to put myself first for once,no good to my family and kitties if i cannot take care of them .

Best not to go in boots and all,just be calm and keep an eye on things.I will try and sneak a pic of her sometime for you all.
