Yes,I agree but what worries me is that in three months when he's ready to move somewhere else I get the cats back. I don't want three or four cats. Jesus, 6 months I swore no more pets but here we are.

Shifting the perspective. Yikes, just realised that I have actually (sort of) been the digital nomad guy.

We used to have a kitten that would come over and hide at our house. The neighbors were Russian, they had lots of parties, guests, and a 3year old kid - all in a one room studio. Cat would come over for some downtime. We considered it was giving sanctuary, but could also be considered weird. True that I would never have stopped the cat from leaving and the door was always open, but what I mean is that we thought we were doing the cat a favor by letting him sleep on our sofa, and maybe your neighbor thinks so too.
Do you have small kids that shriek a lot and play with fireworks? Do you and your wife shout a lot ? Do you have wild parties ? Maybe he thinks he's giving the cats sanctuary from the neighbors from hell ?
(Not to insult you. Trying to put this into your neighbors perspective. )

Okay, the neighbor got the note and came over. He said he checked the whole house and they're not there. He seemed more concerned this time and said that it made him sad. I'm inclined to believe him.

His theory is they were stolen or poisoned and he'll "pray to Buddha" that they come back.

I guess that's the end of story...

A cats' life is full of dangers in Cambodia.

Thanks for posting the end of the story.

Hope that your neighbor isn't reading CEO btw.

If he does/did read I'm sure he understands that it was motivated by my desire to get the cats back. You have to admit that the timing of his arrival and the disappearance was a bit of a coincidence.

Anyway, I guess we're in the market for some more cats - can't let that dry food get stale. We were definitely too complacent about how "safe" the area was, even though we've lived for a long time in the region, although mostly in apartments.

Thanks to everyone who contributed to the thread.

Goodbye Chi Chi the second and Pinky - see you over the rainbow bridge!

Just beat the fuck out of him anyway.

It may turn out he didn't do it, but it would liven up the thread.
