My Neighbors have Stolen my Cat.

[adsman]

Hey all,

I've had a cat since he was a little tiny kitten. He turned up on my door and I fed him and he stayed with me. His name is Scratch and he's a dude.

Last year I moved house and I brought Scratch with me. I have some neighbors who are these two old spinster sisters. They're very kind, and we get on well which is important. A couple of months ago their little poodle died, (I hate poodles), and they were very sad. One day one of the sisters asked me if I'd mind if they sometimes gave food to my cat. I said sure, what the hell.

Fast track to yesterday when I walk out onto my balcony and have a conversation with my neighbors where they happily tell me that my cat is now sleeping in their house.

WTF????? I'm not too pleased about this. Now normally I'd just tell them to stop doing it but;

1. Neighbors are important to get along with in a small mountain village in Italy.

2. They regularly give me home baked cakes of the most delicious variety. I particularly like their cherry pie. I don't want to risk losing this.

So how do I go about the delicate task of getting my cat back?

ps, there are no ninjas involved here.

If that's the case, then you should avoid doing things that would piss of your neighbors like...stealing their cat.

Yeah, but I'm the foreigner so I have to get along with them, if you know what I mean.

I don't really get this but I'm sure you're not making it up. But it's kind of weird to me that they can just take stuff from you, tell you about it, and because you're the noob you just have to grin and bear it. Strange place.

They don't think they've taken the cat. I don't think it's even entered their minds. Or do you think they've been bribing me with the cakes? Maybe they're really sneaky after all. Oh man, I'm going to bed. If any of you can think up a good way to get my cat back I'll be happy.

Here's a photo taken in early Spring looking from my balcony down onto their house and yard. This is where my cat hangs out now. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Scorched earth policy: kill the cat.

Is the cat voluntarily sleeping in the house, or are they keeping it indoors on purpose?

Edit: I'll just get it out of the way for everyone -- no one owns a kat haw haw haw
