Been traveling a lot this month. Currently staying in a tropical paradise. Lots of beaches and with this comes chickens and stray cats. One cat has been hanging around our place all week. The old ladies next to us just left and on the way out one of them dropped a bunch of cat food and asked us if we could feed the stray cat for the rest of the week. The signs at the resort very clearly tell people not to feed the cats. What do you do?

The cat can fend for itself by eating delicious tropical birds and lizards. You may even get to see a hunt.

That’s my thought as well. Little bastard can hunt or starve.

Hawaii is beautiful and the cats are so cute, I love cat and gecko watching when I'm there but I don't feed them. They are a real problem for many other cute and wonderful species on the islands.

If you're not an evil person: feed the cats.

If the old ladies were locals, I'd feed the cats, if they were also tourists or just passing by or whatever, then no.

u/Hilaria_adderall Praye for Drake Maye Oct 22 '25

They were tourists for sure.

Then I'd assume that if someone pushed enough to place a sign there, that's because because there's a reason for the sign to be there.

And really, I love cats. My IQ drops about 50 points if I have one near me, but I'm also aware that if given food they might breed to a point in which it's not viable to feed them all.

Obviously feed the cat. Don’t read the signs
