Is this cat abuse?

[DJKillaQueen]

Are the cats able to go in and out (catflap) and therefore left to forage outside, or are they locked indoors without a daily freash supply of water and food - a toilet isn't really acceptable - as the cat has to step quite far into it to reach the water - and it's not hygenic either.

Oh but this thread is a wind up, right ;)

I'm beginning to think so DJ :). Leaving your non-feral pet cat to drink toilet water and catch and eat rats when you leave for a long weekend seems rather odd. A neighbour or a cat service could so easily put down some food and water.

It has to be.

No animal lover would leave their cat for 3 days without food and water & expect it to kill owls/birds/ mice etc & drink from the toilet.

If it is a serious post (though I very much doubt it), the owners need reporting.

in woodrot mansions,its a one way in door for feline interlopers, thence a quick transport to the shed of doom.

I'm wondering where this plentiful supply of succulent East Dulwich owls is? It'd take a brave and extraordinarily agile cat to catch one. I've never heard of anyone leaving the toilet lid open for their cat to sup from. Overall this thread is a bit of a hoot!

There are loads of owls if you know where to get them. We keep the discarded beaks framed under glass as trophies.

I did actually catch our cat drinking bog water once though.

Not a problem!

what is a 'rodent bird'? a mouse with wings?
