    We have a (very aggressive and territorial) cat that lives inside the house (love her, but she can be mean lol).

  • 02

    We have a neighborhood cat named "Tula" that we feed. Because we leave food for Tula outside our house, we get a lot of visitors. So.. this is Chompy.

    Chompy appeared in our yard about 6 months ago and has become one of our daily visitors. He is the sweetest cat I have ever met in my life.

  • 05

    He is very friendly, he is very submissive, and he gets bullied by the other cats a lot, and frankly, he is kinda dumb... like he has no survival skills at all... he

    will sit in front of a moving car and just won't move every if the car is getting close to him. We saved him from being run over more than once.

  • 07

    This cat does not look like a stray can, and we asked around to see if someone knows where he came from...

  • 08

    Apparently, he belongs to one of the neighbors. We contacted her to let her know he was here in case she was looking for him... she was furious, she started accusing us of taking her cat.

  • 09

    Turns out that when he first appeared on our yard, she left for a week for vacation, left him outside, and asked her son to leave him food outside the house once a day.

    That's when he found us, and we started giving him food.

    Person feeding stray cat.

    Recreated scenario included to enhance reader understanding.  

  • 12

    We told her that we did not mean to take him he just came and looked hungry, so we fed him. He does not enter the house (because of our aggressive cat). She took him, and he returned to our house 2 hours later.

  • 13

    She told us, "If you want him so bad, take him. "... We told her we don't want to take her cat and she should keep him inside the house if she doesn't want him to come here because we always leave food outside our house for Tula.

  • 14

    Since then, he started to look more and more dirty. It does not look like she takes care of him at all. He looks completely abandoned...

  • 15

    Yesterday it started raining and he cried for help all night and it crashed me we can not take him inside but my bf's sister said she can take him.

  • 16

    I don't know what to do.. idk if we need to ask the neighbor. It looks like she has given up on him... I think this is totally animal cruelty if she won't let us relocate him, because she doesn't take care of him at all... what can we do if she says no?

  • 17

    I will be sad not seeing him every day, but I want what's best for him..

    bruceleeripping She already said you can take him, so take him

  • 20

    Civil Distribution397 I mean... she said if you want. him, take him. If she's not taking care of him, then finding him a good home is best, especially with the cold coming in.

  • She basically told you to take him, so we'd say it's time to take her up on that offer! Poor Chompy clearly needs someone looking out for him, especially since he apparently has the survival instincts of a potato. If she's willing to let him go, why not give this sweet boy the loving home he deserves? He's already chosen his favorite humans anyway!

    Treps9491 Your neighbor is clearly irrational. Plus she is guilty of neglect. She does not care about what is best for this poor cat. This sweet cat deserves better.

  • 22

    osoftswan She sounds unwell. I agree to prioritize his wellbeing over appeasing her at all.

  • 23

    Interesting-Row-2359 Who in the world would treat that beautiful baby like that. He's beautiful.

  • No cat deserves to be treated like that, especially one as sweet and trusting as Chompy. Poor little guy just wants some food, affection, and somewhere warm to sleep. Is that really too much to ask? It breaks our hearts knowing he's been crying outside in the rain when he could be curled up somewhere safe and cozy. Every kitty deserves to feel loved and cared for!

    copernicu22 Hi, is Chompy white with blue eyes (or is it my screen ) - he could be deaf which might explain his 'kinda dumb' behavior ; Anyhow, he's such sweet guy & lucky to have been adopted by u

  • 25

    Abbynormal61 Give him to the person who wants him. Previous owner has no right to him if she treats him like that. He deserves a home and love.

  • 26

    wolfhavensf Don't ask, act.

  • 27

    TaraTara2 Take that cat and give him to your BF siste. The owner left him outside when vacationing for a week? That's horrible! Then tells you, if you want him take him? SO TAKE HIM. Act like you don't know a thing!!

  • We think it's time to step in and help Chompy find a proper home. He's been hanging around for six months, getting bullied by other cats, nearly getting hit by cars, and now crying outside in the rain. How much more does this poor guy have to go through? The boyfriend's sister has already offered to take him, so hopefully they can work things out with his owner and get him settled somewhere safe.

    Generic_Username4343 She literally told you "if you want him so bad, take him". I would absolutely take that as consent, and give that baby to someone who actually gives as tabout him.
