I'm suddenly very hungry.

Hahaha, you're such an ass!

I hide nothing! Let's stay on topic.

Please be careful about this - cats are rather notorious for getting as much attention from different quarters as possible, and I've known my own cats to get food from half the houses in the neighbourhood and be fed more than enough at home and still look scrawny! He might need worming, or similar, but if they've paid enough attention to notice that you are semi-trying to steal him, then they at least pay him some attention. One of my Gf's cats was literally stolen by one of her neighbours - he kept going over to theirs for food because he knew he could get some there, they overfed him, and then pretty much locked him in their house, before bringing him back around in a cat box after a few days, rather than just letting him back out of the house. The whole thing got fairly nasty when they were told to stop feeding him numerous times, and then eventually they got a letter through the door saying that they obviously didn't care for him and that they'd given him to a friend. Never saw the cat again.

So yeah, moral of the story is, as much as I love them, cats are buggers for attention :P If you get to the point that you want to feed the cat, please try and get permission from the neighbours first!

Photos of pets to follow - cannot find the camera...

Thanks Moonlit, for your concern. Ultimately, I'm not literally trying to make him my pet instead of theirs, but as long as he's being left outside in winter, and at my house during the evening dinnertime hours, I'll give him a warm place to sleep in my porch, a bit of kibble, and some attention. He's definitely an attention whore cat, but he spends far too much time in my porch to be getting attention from all the neighbors. I like him and I'm concerned about his wellbeing, but he's not allowed in my house, and I'm not going to try and keep him from his actual owners.

I still think the harness is stupid though. They put a collar on him a couple of years ago and I found him limping in our yard with his hind paw stuck in it. I don't believe cats are meant to be contained, and I would never restrain mine or lock it in a house.

If you do secretly want to make him your cat, get a cat flap. He will know how it works :D

Having found the camera, I can now reveal our cat, at the age of about 3 months:
