May God bless you if you rescue the cat from these narcissistic ID10TS. You can rest assured that if you move away without taking the cat, it most likely will be eaten by a predator.
Oh. Are you moving to a different home in the same tract that is still near your thoughtless
neighbors? I got the impression that you were moving out entirely. The cat will return to
their house if you allow it to be an outdoor kitty.
It depends on what I find when I’m able to buy-but none of the properties in this subdivision are less than 3 acres-the largest are over 16, and the subdivision covers a large area-about 25 square miles. The furthest I will consider going is the next subdivision, 5 miles away and it is more of the same acreage-only lots-the subdivisions here are designed for keeping chickens, goats etc.
My cats are never outdoor cats-in this area a loose cat or dog is going to have a short and brutal life-the thoughtless neighbor’s cat would have been long dead but for the goodwill of other people letting him stay within their fences, garages and barns. Once he is relocated, he will never be returning to those uncaring owners...
The local vet I go to has a homemade poster in the reception room-it is a mountain lion crouching under some trees, with a photo of coyotes next to it-the caption at the bottom says “an outside cat is a dead cat-keep your pet indoors-and alive”.
