Hopefully it’s more like pleasantly talk to and not a fight but my anxiety is like no we’re fighting

So that cat i posted about, lil squidward, the one with kittens, well, after she and her kittens disappeared from our neighbor’s porch we noticed they’d moved to another neighbor’s porch. And they seem to be taking care of them, like, they have a little cat house thing on their porch. They might have been taking care of her the whole time (idk why her kittens were on the random other guy’s porch then but whatever) since I think someone gave her flea meds (or at least she doesn’t have fleas and i find that hard to believe for an untreated outdoor cat.

But if they’ve been taking care of her the whole time I wanna know why the fuck she was outside at all for a week straight of 100F 80% humidity weather? Why was she coming to me for ice water? She was just outside again, 96F outside, only this time she was panting, and I know that’s like, a sign of imminent heat stroke in cats. So i took her inside and put her in a bathroom with a cold AC vent and food and ice water and she’s fine now. But like ahhhh I just assume they’re gonna be like YEAH THAT’S OUR CAT and refuse to like, you know, actually take care of her

If she didn’t have kittens i’d just keep her inside and steal her

Edit: update: went over to talk now that my partner is off. The door was answered by the surliest shirtless man, who did not seem to want to open the door.

He said “they” were “getting rid of the cats” but that “they” weren’t here. He said he’d let them know we’d come back tomorrow.

My assumption from that is it’s a roommates situation and not his business? Idk i assumed it was a single family living in that house.

I’m also suddenly wondering if they’re renting (the house across from us is rented) and they might be getting harassed into getting rid of them?

Idk, either way, we’re going to go try again to talk to them tomorrow. I’m assuming if they’re getting rid of them they won’t mind us taking them, but idk. We’ll see. She’s got 3 beautiful little kittens
