Spotted by Tom in Newcastle, UK. I had to look closely at the markings to make sure it wasn’t the same fat cat Sam spotted in London a few years back.

Something is fishy here, and it’s not the cat’s breath. It keeps showing up at my house asking to be fed, and I live in Ohio…

Doesn’t the “manipulative” line take the tone of this note from “stop feeding my cat, you morons!” to “my cat is such a bitch!” Then I look down at her face laying there in the window and I kind of see it.

I’m just trying to fatten her up before I eat her.

Looks like the owner is projecting and this note is really meant to remind themselves not to give their cat ice cream. I don’t know a single person whose first response when seeing an outdoor cat would be to try to give it ice cream. Cat food, tuna fish, chicken, some other kind of meat maybe, but ice cream? No, the reason your fat cat likes ice cream is because of you.

I wish it was written in the first person, as it should be.
Please do not feed me!
I am obese!
I am manipulative!
I am on a diet!
Ice cream is bad for me!
I am projecting my own problems onto my cat!

My cat’s special power is making everyone think he is starving to death.

What is it? A walk–up window where you drop off food for the cat? I would be worried about people pushing up my windows, rather than what the cat is doing. I kind of like the idea for myself. A window where people can drop off pizzas and pies and I dont even have to get out of my chair.

How did the male cat from the first post become a female?

People in the UK are pains in the ass about their cats. I live there but I grew up in the USA. And I was entirely used to most cats being indoor cats as it certainly was the norm where I come from. So I moved to the UK and a cat started showing up to the house all the time. Of course I thought it was a stray and it seemed incredibly hungry so we fed it. Long story short – it turns out that most people here let their cats out all the time. And they get really pissy about what happens to their cat while it’s out wandering. ‘Don’t feed my cat! Don’t think my cat is a stray!’ I belong to a FB community group and every day there are several posts about people looking for their their bloody cats – and complaining that maybe someone has taken the cat in mistakenly. And I just want to say, ‘If you’re that freakin’ concerned about your cat – then keep it indoors. And quit acting like your cat has some kind of carte blanche to go anywhere and do anything. ‘

Juniper, I’ve never come across people here who are “pains in the ass about their cats”. That said, I’ve crossed paths with more urban foxes than cats in the last 8 years. Most recently last week, when I walked home from the station after a gig, with one just two steps in front of me. Just me and a local fox, walkin’ home, jumping garden fences as you do. Maybe the foxes eat the cats where I live? Or The Beast is a fox? I haven’t seen a cat on this street for months now come to think of it.
Anyway, my friends have a cat from their neighbourhood that comes round their place all the time. They allow it to come in and laze around, but they don’t feed it. You can see it is well fed and they don’t give in to its cheeky pleas for food. If it’s hungry, it’ll go home or elsewhere.

My brother’s cat and dog had good thing going years ago. My brother, who never let his animals miss a meal, would leave them outside for the day, and the two pets would canvass the neighborhood together, sitting outside the various doors until the neighbors, overwhelmed by the sheer cuteness of them begging together would feed them. It was like a scene from some damn Disney movie where the animals would be voiced by Dudley Moore and Julie Andrews.
(Both animals led good long lives and are long deceased – the cat reaching 18 years before succumbing to feline diabetes, the dog going 15 years).
