I know you’ve just lost your special cat, but if this new one is affecting your mental state, then preserving that mental state is the most important thing.
Perhaps there’ll be another kitty soon in the future.

I agree. My own stuff is enough to deal with for now.
Problem is I’m trying to avoid and ignore him, but he sometimes blocks me into my house because I’m trying to avoid physical contact and he’s waiting near the door to actively pursue it. It’s stressing me out. As is the idea of continuing to nag or confront neighbours (I don’t know these people and have had some dangerous experiences/sustained harassment in the past).
I’m very much not trying to adopt or take in the cat. I’m trying to make his owners take him to the vet and treat him so he stops reinfecting me.
I’ve just tried to submit a report to the RSPCA with photos and a video from my phone but it’s hanging on send. I’ll try again later on the computer.
