People should never feed a cat unless they know for sure that the cat is an absolute stray who is extremely and obviously hungry. I know it is difficult for some people to resist.
Less than dogs, but nonetheless, cats can suffer from food allergies and so these allergies can be from any one of the proteins (meats) or in fact all protein as well as many other types of food. So a person who feeds a wandering cat may be harming the cat seriously simply through lack of knowledge in not being the owner of the cat. Same thing here in giving a cat "treats".
Of course, giving a cat food often means that the cat will use your property as a second home.
The other thing is double dipping on food ie - the owner and a neighbour, can create unwanted obesity in a cat.
One of my son's experienced a Siamese cat coming into his stand-alone flat and he said that he didn't have any food to give the cat. Thank goodness for that. It is 100% unlikely that an expensive Siamese cat in any case is a stray.
There is a cat problem where everyone lives in NZ (there are a million cats here) apart from any new housing areas where cats are banned. There is a cat problem growing in the Wallaceville Estate in Wallaceville. More than twice a week, someone is missing their cat is one issue. Just recently on three occasions I noticed an almost pure white coated cat coming through my fenced property late at night - well into the time a cat should be kept indoors in their own owner's property.

But if you take the plunge, it can open the door for you to truly expand your life.
There are two things to consider when you’ve decided to sell up – how to present your home so it’s appealing to buyers and packing up your home for the physical move.
Before you jump into renovations to make the place look shiny and new, think carefully about the value they will add to the house and whether you’ll recover that cost in the sale price. Renovations can be costly, stressful and time-consuming, so they’re only worth making if they’ll add significant value to your house sale.
