Cats Who Think You Own Them

Tweet

A few years ago, the day we moved into our current house, a small black and white tom cat jumped into the windowsill. He didn't have a collar and started begging for food. We let him in and fed him some ham we had here and a saucer of water with a drop or two of milk. From that day on he decided that he was 'our' cat. Spent most of his time indoors with us, letting us know when he wanted to go back out or wanted more food. We bought him dry cat food and a flea collar and named him 'Dog'. We later learned that his name was 'Wanda' and he belonged to the next door neighbours. We have since gotten a parrot, so we can no longer roam around the house, though we still let him into the sitting room to sleep in front of the fire or cuddle up on the couch and watch TV. Recently we acquired another cat. A ginger and white female, with a collar, who was eating Dog's leftovers from the windowsill where he now gets fed. She has gotten into the habit of sitting in the windowsill every morning, afternoon and evening crying for food. What I'm wondering is this - How many of you also have cats who think they live at your place but really belongs to someone else i.e. not just a stray, but a greedy cat with a whole lot of love to share around different houses.
