    If you wanna tempt it try eating tuna, getting a laser pointer, or feeding the cat churu by hand. My cats lick it outta the tube. Your mileage may vary.

    You could feed it some tuna but don’t go overboard it’s a lot of sodium for their kidneys.

        It’s irresponsible to let a cat outside by itself, doubly so if it’s on a special diet. Blaming people for feeding a cat in such situations is like blaming a pedestrian for being hit by a car. I also mention this because outdoor cats are more likely to be hit by a car.

        That’s true. I’ve been very tempted to feed it a few scraps of food (like breadcrumbs or leftover canned tuna), but I know some animals don’t respond well to some food and I’m not used to cats yet. I had a dog so I know not to feed dogs any chocolate, grapes, or nuts, but all I know is that [most] cats can eat tuna so I didn’t want to risk potentially making my neighbour’s cat sick, or worse.

        I have been researching animal sanctuaries to start the process of getting a cat though, so eventually I’ll have some actual cat food. Maybe then I’ll try to feed this one a few bites, but I think I’ll ask the neighbour first because I don’t know if this cat is allergic to a specific ingredient or anything.

      This cat seems young and playful so I might try playing with a toy. I love it whenever I catch the cat burying its poop 🤣 I also heard some feisty screams with my other neighbour’s cat so I know that there’s some drama going on haha
