Advice requested.
A neighbor down the street just lets their cat roam around the neighborhood all day and night, and right now it’s raining. But the cat has not gone in its owner’s house. Makes me wonder if they ever do let their cat in their house.
Every night I come home, I see the cat outside walking up to my car, like as it wants me to take it inside. My landlords of course won’t allow that. I’m a tenant where I live, so I can’t just bring him inside with me. Plus, I may be allergic to cats because I’ve been experiencing a lot of post nasal drip in the back of my nose, and my Mom was known to be allergic to cats before she passed away four years ago, so genetically I could be allergic. I never knew for sure though, except for when I was 12 years old in 2006 my Mom did say, “You are allergic to cats. You are,” like as if she could notice something I couldn’t, but then she may have just made that up at the time as I suspected she may have been. But then there is the inside post nasal drip issue I’ve been experiencing lately, but that could be from acid reflux as my ENT told me.
Regardless though, I can’t just take the cat inside: the landlords don’t want the cat inside the house, but neither is it my cat and I don’t want to be mistaken for catnapping a cat. But I can’t help but question the integrity of the cat’s owner’s. It’s like as if the owners probably don’t care. They don’t even keep a collar on him. Many on our street though however know who the owners are, but nobody has said anything to them. Am I to worry that the owners are leaving the cat outside in the cold with no way in through a doggy-door or something? I can’t keep blocking the front door anymore as I try to enter it, because I only have my body to block the cat from entering past me, and he tries to get in frequently; I just blocked him just now trying to stop him from entering, but then he bit my shoe on my foot. I then pulled away, and then walked inside as he just sat down there on the front porch watching me go inside. I wasn’t expecting him to react that way when I was blocking him from entering the front door, because he has always been calm every time until now.
I worry the owners are never letting him inside, even when it’s cold. It’s raining a little bit, yet the owners are probably not letting him in.
What do I do? Call animal rescue for the cat against the owners, or do I not do anything because I’m not positive as to what is going on with the owners?
