Hi Dudley welcome to Pet Talk...you've chosen the right place...just like FriendlyPuss has chosen the right home!!!

I think it's really a good sign that Dudley accepts FP...maybe he's telling you to do so as well...

The neighbor doesn't seem to care lots about her cats, even when you've informed her that FP stayed with you for some time...I say there are always ways to negotiate about this with your neighbor...and who amongst us humans was ever able to force a cat into something he/she doesn't want...they always make up their OWN MIND!!! You better live with that idea...
