A coworker of mine had a cat move next door. After she gave birth to twins the cat probably couldn't handle the noise, smells, etc. associate with two new babies. It started hanging out at the neighbor's house (they thought it was a stray) so they start feeding it.
The neighbors finally let the cat in, which meant my coworker thought their cat was missing. My coworker put up posters, which the neighbor saw, and the cat's whole scheme was revealed.
The cat ended up living next door, and then when the neighbor had to move to another state, they all agreed the cat would be happier in a home without children.
Hey everyone, I have no idea how to add text to this post so I’m just commenting and hoping it doesn’t get buried too deep.
Thank you for the silver and entertaining comments. To clear up a couple of things:
1) I would love to let him/her in, but one of our dogs is an elderly retired hunting dog and attacks smaller animals. Our other two dogs are just very confused by orange cat and we don’t know how they would react to a meeting. Orange cat is much safer outside. Our neighbors are good pet owners who keep orange cat fed and happy, they just let it wander sometimes.
2) The glass is one of two narrow panels on our front door. We have a covered front porch. So people can technically see in, but they would have to walk up our porch and squeeze their faces in between the trim on the panels to really see much.
3) Orange cat shows up a couple times a week when the weather is nice, owners keep it inside once it gets cold so we probably won’t see orange cat until April now that we have snow cover.
4) It IS sometimes a terrifying experience to walk past the door and see this thing looking in. Especially at night if our porch light is off and the cat gets glowy eyes. We are a little concerned it’s learning our routine for nefarious reasons.

your remark grievously offended him, he's plotting your demise
