Instead of financing the mama cats spaying, why don't you threaten to call animal control? Maybe that'd be better because that's more of a threat.
I'd love to, but I feel it wouldn't do anything. Animal control might come get the cat (I don't even know if my town's animal control takes cats), but that would be good for the neighbors because it'd be out of their hair. There's no way to get them in actual trouble for "animal cruelty" because the cats definitely aren't malnourished; they're eating my food. I've thought about asking them to just give me mama cat because I'm already taking care of her, I could get her fixed, and then find a good home for her with someone who'll actually want her and/or her babies. I just know as soon as I ask to do that they'll throw a fit and hate me for suggesting they don't take care of their cats (which they don't), then make this situation even worse. I don't know why I posted knowing there was no good resolution, I guess I just needed to vent. Thanks for the suggestion though!
 
So my car broke down in the Subway drive thru today which was SO embarrassing. Thank god I was like 2 minutes away from my parents so they could help me. Right now they think it's something with the alternator... Merry Christmas to me!!

On the bright side I took advantage of the sad event and retail therapy by ordering the Anastasia Beverly Hills Contour Kit and I'm so happy about it!

There might be a free stray cat spaying program in your area as well - this way at least she would no longer be contributing to the population in your neighborhood. Animal control takes the cat, vets spay her and notch her ear which shows she has been spayed in case she gets picked up again for the same reason, and then release her back where she was picked up from.

Yes! Probably 98% of them have drive thrus in Michigan. I usually just go in because I feel like it takes forever (which is probs why they don't have them everywhere lol)

The subway on the next town over has a drive-thru. I usually go in. It is easier and I can see what everything looks like before they put it on my sandwich.
 
There was a triple homicide in my hometown yesterday. 2 kids, 8 and 10 and their mom. :( they caught the man they think did it thank god. I don't know why people take the lives of others. Especially children.

That does sound like a tough situation. Do you feed your cats outside? What if you fed them inside? Then the other cats wouldn't be eating your food and the family would kind of be forced to buy their own cat food?

Cats are smart though. Even if the family doesn't feed them, the cats will hunt for food. My grandparents have stray cats living in one of their old trucks with 2 litters of kittens (all have gorgeous colorings). They are well taken care of by their mama. I would hate to see you take on the responsibility of someone else's problem when it's not yours to take care of. There is nothing wrong in saying to your neighbors that you don't appreciate THEIR cats eating YOUR cat's food and to ask them to stop it or pitch in. Maybe they don't realize their cats are doing it or they think you don't notice. They should not get mad at that, that statement is not accusing them of neglecting their cats. But I understand you trying to help. Good luck with it all!
 
subway has drive thrus? I would rather go inside to order though. I always get subway melt and roll my eyes when I'm asked if I want it toasted. Well like duh. I get asked 98% of the time.
