FFS, upstairs cat has just chased Patch back into the flat. They basically lock him out day and night with only a tiny bowl of water. I have witnessed him waiting for hours to want to get back inside his home and because he hangs about so much, Patch now won't go out at all during the day and only goes out to do her business in the middle of the night when we (human and cat) think upstairs cat has been called back, well well well, we were wrong, now he is also locked out at night because it's cooler outside. Fucking hell!
I spoke to them and they said he is from a litter of 3 and his 2 litter mates were too wild so they were rehomed to a farm as semi feral cats and he was just about OK to be rehomed to a household. The way they are treating this cat is only going to make his wild side even worse.
I am conflicted, I do feel sorry for the cat as, for example, in the past couple of weeks, because of the footie, the guys won't be home till very late and so they would only leave a bowl of water and about 60g of dry food (I know the amount because they asked me to feed him before) for an entire day until like pass 11pm... I want to feed him but I know I can't because he can't think that I am his friend and I don't want to feed other people's cat.
I do hate this cat but I don't blame this cat... what can I do?
Also spoke to our vet and vet says this cat displays typical behaviour of a cat that hasn't been socialised properly and should not be rehomed normally to begin with.
