Re: A New Friend


Surely if this woman is being evicted she should be more than happy for you to take this little kitten.

Re: A New Friend


Donna - if I were you, I'd make it my business!! The problem is, if you mention it to the woman upstairs and she refuses to let you take her, you've kind of laid your cards on the table as far as your intentions go. If the cat then goes 'missing' you'll be the 1st port of call!

My gut instinct would be to go the cardboard box route and then just shrug your shoulders if the woman comes asking about the cat; maybe even be a bit indignant with a well-placed 'I told you so'!

Maybe others might have a more 'compromise' solution?

Re: A New Friend


I dont know how long she has there. It was her boyfriend renting the flat but he has walked out on her and the baby so she is not technically the tenant. She was offered a house by the council but that didnt happen for some reason so she is just sitting in there rent free at the moment.

I dont think she will let me take the kitten and my colleagues think it is wrong as they call it "stealing" so not sure how I can do it without getting caught out.

Re: A New Friend


Try and say that you have a good friend who pop into the office and was really taken with her cats and you were wondering if she would part with it. That way it seem that she is doing you a favouir the cat get a good safe home and you know that it is safe. I know it might be a lie but then she would be safe. Or you could just ask her if she would like you to take care of India whilst she is looking for somewhere. Or suggest that you have/rehome her. I wouldn't just take her as she might call the police on you if she finds out. Mean time try and keep her in the officewhere she will be safe.

Best of luck let us know what happens
