Would you consider doing this cat a favor and getting it fixed. You stumbled on a huge problem I've never seen discussed here Namely feral cats. The world over millions of homeless cats live in the wild without human contact. Thay breed like mad. If you contact your local animal shelter, or SPCA thall lend you a have-a-heart trap or 2 . She will get fixed, Vacsanated, feed and returned all for free. And you can know you changed her life for the better, and spared countless litters of kittens much suffering. You'll notice her ears are symmetrical. After getting fixed one ear will be niped so if you trap her again you know to just let her go. Thanks again

I think the "other cat" is the girl...but you're right, a lot of cats breed and leave thousands to be euthanized. Spay and neuter the pets! (er..the non-human ones that is)
The REAL cat is, as i said, owned by a friend of mine, not homeless. The GIRL is unowned.
Funnily enough, the real cat is actually a stray/abandoned (without collar) or feral that was hanging around in his garden and he managed to coax it into staying permanently. He's had it taken to a vet for shots and the like before you ask. He was a kitten at the time, should have been with his mum so probably abandoned.
Adult ferals: cheapest, easiest and kindest thing to do is just shoot them. Feral kittens, though, you can put in shelters if you don't want to keep them yourself.

hmmm..... I don't know if you could really call that "kind". I mean, you could say you are putting them out of their misery as they would have a hard life and probably just starve, but I still wouldn't call that "kind".
"Kind" is neither cheap nor easy.
BUT THIS IS NOT THAT KIND OF DISCUSSION!
I see a hot unowned gal on the page! Who's callin' dibs??
(lol, if she only knew)
