We have 2 of these. A nice, semi-open veranda that they can sleep on that's not cold.

One actually has a home but apparently is terrified of it because he always comes back.

Feel guilty of stealing a cat.

You didn't steal a cat.

A cat decided to move.

Cats love having affairs. My mum’s cats most certainly get some food and attention from a neighbour sometimes.

But talking to the owners definitely can’t hurt.

I met my “timeshare” cat cuz the grump was stealing carrots and got stuck in the greenhouse. Fond memories there. Still don’t know what he did with them. I like to think he brought them to some other thoroughly confused human as tribute.

Cats don't have owners, they have human servants.

We have, they know, we bring him back, he just loves it here for some reason. Think he's in love with one of ours.

Maybe you can just establish communication with his other family so they know he's visiting you and not hit by a car. Sometimes a noisy bunch of kids can cause a cat to run away, even though they love him.

Did, they're not thrilled but he's just not willing to go back, they know he's OK and we took him back a few times.

Glad he found the right people to take him in.

We don't know why he hates it there so much and loves it here, he was happily staying in the barn over the cold winter, we let him in sometimes, he even let's our daughter play with him and she's a terror.

Can't imagine what happened at his house to make him hate it so much.

He tried, they said "meow!"
