Could it be that they use a back door, or drive in out of garage, so haven’t seen the food? Also not everyone checks their emails everyday, so possible they haven’t see your message either. I guess that’s the optimistic view. If not, maybe you can ask them if they still want to keep the cat. Tell them you can organise a rescue org to collect it for them. It’s sad, but some people just hope their cat will go away if they keep putting it outside.
Good news on the meds and grief counselling. You are taking steps to recover even though it’s really hard. Melbcat would have wanted you to be well. Maybe you can look at it that she’s giving you strength from beyond the rainbow bridge. You got this.
I don’t think so, the back is fenced in. Could be they park and walk in tho?
They don’t seem to see a problem with the situation so I may be courting unwanted beef by trying to tell them anything. They said they love him very much so I don’t think they’ll want to give him up. And there are no foster places available through the rescues, I already checked when I thought he was dumped.
I do just want to mind my biz. But this is genuinely causing problems for me because he waits outside, tries to dash in, and follows to rub spores up on you (in addition to seeming really neglected) and I’m being forced to interact with people in order to try and deal with it 😢
This shit be costing me $$
