i.e. it's all my fault that the neighbours are letting James sleep on their sofa?

The neighbour shouldnt be doing that.
My girlfriend fed a cat (that we thought was stray) after it turned up outside our house one day and then it came back every single day after that because it knew there was food on offer.
It turned out to be our neighbours from around the corner and was only supposed to eat special food because of some illness.
If your neighbour feeds James then he's bound to go there. Cats are greedy bastards.

He's been perfectly happy sleeping on the bed for the last two weeks, which I suggest supports my current hypothesis that if the neighbours stop treating him as their own cat, he'll stay at home.

I suspect he'll look for another family.

If he does then I'll move him elsewhere - there's not a chance that I'm letting people who are willing to steal my cat have him.

Patch and I played football at 3am this morning... only we used a mouse... where did that mouse come from? It's not the right time of the year, no?
-

Somewhere inside, I guess, as it's warm.
There's a mouse I hear occasionally under our floorboards at the moment and Koshka can hear it too. Stalks around, staring at the floor and twitching his ears. Occasionally tries to punch through like a polar bear after a seal cub.

He wishes he could do that. Though he is about as fluffy as that fox...

Patch has managed to break the waste pipe in the toilet again... twice in 2 week... what is so interesting behind the toilet she wants to kill?? Cox we checked and there is nothing...

Maybe that is where the mice are getting in?

If that's the case they would have to be coming in from inside the toilet and it's highly unlikely because the lid is always closed when the toilet isn't in use...

I got rats in my flat via the toilet waste-pipe. They came up from the sewer and then ate a hole in the plastic pipe where it came out of the wall behind the bath.
Basically it was a nightmare. The bloke who came from Rentokil or wherever said it is a massive problem in London. The rats all live in the victorian sewers, which are like rat paradise, and usually come up into peoples houses in the summer. There is a sewer inspection chamber outside the front of the house and there is a sort of valve in it like a cat-flap, which allows dirty water to flow into the main sewer but is supposed to stop the little buggers going the other way. As soon as he saw where the rats were coming in in, he said "I bet the valve under that manhole is broken" and lo and behold, it was...
Sorry for the long post, but it would be as well to get it checked out. Your cat may hear something moving inside the pipe and be dropping massive hints for you ! -

.....I can no longer eat this.
Neil - If you have introduced other cats in to James' life and space what do you expect? He's got his own will and will exercise it to find himself a better life away from the stress of competition and shared territory.
It's massively upsetting for cats to be thrust in to communities they want no part of because their owners want more creatures to call their own.
