I'm thinking a gps tracker and a hunting rifle are the appropriate solutions to this issue.

Happy hunting.

Neighbours "stole" our cat
Basically they kept feeding her really, really, really expensive treats and eventually she just moved there..

So your Mum just randomly picked up a "stray" cat that was in the rain? What does that even mean? Do you mean it was raining and she saw a cat, so she picked it up and took it home?

Have you considered that you may have stolen some else's cat, and it's been going back to it's original owners, who have been removing this strange collar that has somehow attached itself to their cat?

How did you know it was a stray cat, apart from the weather?

Im sorry that comment alone is ROLF!!!!!!!!!!!!

But in seriousness *serious face on*

Cats if they almost get run over can be very jumpy my mates cat basically you open a door and it is nice enough to deposit sick on the floor.

my cat took its collar off once, that might explain the missing collar. as for the jumpy part, im not so sure, maybe it got spooked by a car or something.

The collar removal doesn't necessarily mean someone is removing it. My cats no longer wear collars because they would remove themselves or the other one would chew it off, clever shits

Maybe she is pregnant or at a vertile age(if it is a girl) and is jumpy about that. And the collar thing my cat always tries to get rid of it and more often then not succeeds.

I agree with the other people. Cat collars are made to come off so that if the cat gets stuck, it doesn't strangle itself (which is why you should never use a dog collar on a cat). The collar is made to break. It's possible your cat is getting caught on something and is simply breaking its collar to get away, which could also be why he/she is jumpy. I assume he/she is also spayed or neutered- your cat could be about to go into heat.

But maybe you should turn your outdoor cat into an indoor cat. Indoor cats live 3-5 years longer, and often considerably more, than outdoor cats. They have less of a chance of becoming "Nobody's Moggy" or getting into catfights and injured.

Maybe, he/she is doing catnip out on the streets & getting involved in cat orgies? Or possibly some sweet, lil old lady is trying to steal your cat, which means you should go round n KNEECAP THE OLD BIDDY!

I have an outdoor cat who likes to go out and adventure and the last two nights she has stayed out rather late and come out with no collar and seems to be jumpy. I was wondering if you guys one think someone is trying to steal her and two if you have any ideas(like a small hidden camera I could buy and mount her with to see) to see if someone is.
Cats sometimes have multiple masters. I had a cat like this as a kid ... found what I thought was a stray, truned out she just cycled between three other masters. Only found out when she actually came BACK with a collar around her neck.

Cats are devious lkittle creatures n.n

Was she a stray you took in, or an pet you bought/reacued from pound? If she's a stray you took in, theres a good chance she's not just 'yours'.

Couldnt you just go to his house and tell him to stop being a douche? if you know who it is make them stop. Someone tried to steal my friends cat and his mum basically told them to fuck off or she would call the police. It was an expensive cat.

No.

My cat always came home without collars when we tried, god knows how she got them off, but she did.

Which makes me advise against the camera. It'd get that off too, and u's lose monehs.

My cats are capable of removing their own flea collars. Thankfully they haven;t needed them since we moved. But an uncollared outdoor cat who accepts food & pets from other humans is subject to being "stolen." Or rather I should say, picking one family over another.

Or it got in a fight, lost the collar and that's why it's twitchy.

More likely not only your cat though.

she is a stray my mom picked up from the rain but we think she might be like 1 or 2 and I don't really know how much she gets stuck in trees but the times I have seen her climb she seems to be a good climber, but then again she is kinda squirrelly I wouldn't put it past to have like found a branch she can use to get the collars off on.
You say shes a stray so depending on how long you have had her she may not consider your place as home yet or ironically could have been someone elses cat that ran off that you took in without knowing. This would also explain her being jumpy

The collars are made to come off if they get caught it stops the cat from choking to death though if it happens often you have either an unlucky cat or a cat burglar on the loose

We had a few strays so I have some experience.

1.) Cat's don't have owners/masters they just decide where they want to live. My neighbor had two cats and they started going into our house, the next thing I know is that they moved and we had two cats to take care of because my mother fed them and they decided to stay here (they went into a nearest corner and didn't want to be moved). The oldest and more outgoing cat found a new owner because she started eating less and coming home less often. We still have the other one because she's like Garfield and doesn't move 10 meters away from the enarest food supply.

2.) Cat's can get rid of the collars if they wish. They can squirm out of them or just use a branch to take them off.

3.) Cat's can be jumpy if they're hurt on in heat so it could be one or the other.

And for the Pièce de résistance:
My assumption is that cat's don't exactly like people. They tolerate us because we're a convenient food supply so don't get to attached to her because strays do have a habit to find a new house to live in (our house was a boarding home for quite a few cats).

P.S.: Sorry for the long post.

alright, that didn't work very well but um, well, follow the thing. Cats arent' that fast...

Or hide in the bushes where you think she'll go.

Do you know your feline well?
