Very well said. And, true about the OP.I understand passions run high on here, because it's a cat possibly suffering. But, we are only getting one side of the story. Plus, a lot of the suggestions on here are illegal and childish. It is best to talk to this Jason and explain to him your new connection and affection for Flea. Don't insult his "parenting" because you will get nowhere. He will most likely only be defensive and not willing to cooperate. Offer him some money and if he says no then ask him how much he feels is fair. If he still says no, then that's that. Not much else you can do short of breaking the law and causing problems for yourself.
Also, posters, the OP has not been back since posting the first post. I think this is now irrelevant.
And now I just bumped it back up. Sorry!
