A grey cat did that to me in the summer (back door was open) I screamed the bloody place down (I have a phobia of cats) I was alone, not a clue what to do.  It looked at me with disgust and haughtily left.

The other week we had a neighbours pet rabbit in our garden eating the herbs Soppy child brought it indoors coz it was raining.

stonksy that is amazing, they don't usually care about family ties. I had a ginger tom and a little allsorts coloured cat (loved her). Anyway, they had kittens, he didn't care at all and my other little tom killed the kittens because he was so jealous. I had to give him to my best mate, otherwise I'd have strangled him. Liquorice (allsorts) was looking for her babies for weeks. I do not believe that cats forget in a matter of minutes. It was heartbreaking. I still hate him even though he's dead now. It all happened about 25 years ago.

Velvet, he has tried before, but he seems to be more emboldened now.

They are a bit mad. My kitten is completely domestic, but when I left her in the early days without the window open, I'd come back to the biggest devastation you can think of. The curtains where down, Books everywhere, everything swiped off the TV. I never understood that a tiny 4 month old kitten could do so much damage.  I learnt my lesson and decided to let her out, crossed fingers, spent an evening on here with Izzy and prom waiting for her to come home and all has been well since then.
Edit: I wanted to say that I really believe cats will remember when you've done them a good turn, they might be aloof most of the time, but they know and appreciate it and give it back in some sort of way.

Stonks, you have to excuse my ignorance please. I know some people have cats that never go out, but I've never understood how that works. Are they a special breed? It's just like I said up there, if I didn't let Mutley out, she'd be screaming the place down and she has come from parents who have been with people all their lives, so it's probably different.

He goes out to his cat house which is his play area and he has a bed in there but he just has'nt got the sense to be out alone in the big wide world..he plays in the house with the other cats but none of them are boistrous, my other 2 cats go out cos they are neutred and have sense....

They are a lovely breed Katty..one of my other cats plays like a dog, he's always walking around the house with a pen or a straw on his mouth....

My cat only goes out to do her business, then comes straight back in, she's just not interested in being outdoors at all. The first time she went out, as a kitten, she jumped off the wall down onto next doors oil tank and really struggled to get back up again. Maybe that scared her, dunno

My cat is like that. I had 4 at one point. The oldest female would go outside for a wander but always came home if it was windy, snowing, raining etc. Snob. The male would wander for days and come back exhausted and sleep for days  The other 2 females were never interested in going out. Even with the door wide open. Sometimes a wee wander round the garden but never further than the fence.
