'I am not condoning stealing, however…': Cat lover notices neighbor neglecting their cats, now they have to decide whether to nab the kittens or leave them outside furrever

We all have to make impurrtant decisions in our lives. Do we eat the salmon or the tuna? Do we give our cats 500 forehead kisses or let them sleep peacefully? And sometimes, we even have to choose between going to work or staying home with them because they look sad. But none of those choices can compare to the choice of a cat lover seeing a neglected cat. Do you leave them in their situation, or make the choice to give them a better life with you? We can't tell you which is the right answer, but it is an unfortunate situation that many people find themselves in.

One thing we can say for sure, though, is that it is not safe to leave your cats outside. There are many natural predators of cats that live out there, and you can't account for a human mistake hurting your purrecious feline. Even worse than that are intact cats living outside because they will overpopulate and create future generations of cats that need to be saved from the streets.

After noticing their neighbor neglecting their outdoor cats (who now has kittens), one cat lover comes to a crossroads: do they steal the kitten and attempt to spay/neuter the other cats? Or do they leave them outside furrever?

Would it be okay to [steal] a kitten from my neighbor knowing she's up for a life of neglect?

Why even get a cat if you don't want them in your house? We understand that cats can make a mess of things, but if you don't want the mess, then don't get a cat in the first place! You'd be surprised how many people can't understand this simple logic.

Who knows what the “right” answer is. Is it right to leave a cat in a situation where it isn't being taken care of? Is it right to steal someone's pet? Can it really even be considered their pet if it isn't allowed inside their house?
