My neighbor, who lives half a mile away, keeps a number of barn cats to catch mice and rats. I don't think he feeds the cats, because one of them has been hanging out on my doorstep all winter, crying for food. I do feed it, but can't adopt it as an indoor cat because of allergies. With spring coming, I also don't want an outdoor cat using my food garden as his litter box. I have been thinking about finding it a home with cat-loving friends, but I can't tell the owner, because he says it's his best hunting cat, even though it spends most of its time on my doorstep. I need to be on good terms with my neighbor. The cat would just "disappear".
Is this an unethical thing to do? I feel so sorry for this cat, who is friendly but very skinny and miserable. The neighbor is a very nice person, too. I know there would be a lot of trouble if he found out I stole his cat. I would welcome ideas and comments.
