My neigbours cat which is the sister of mine goes out for 3 days and  then
returns, is this normal.  She always comes back could it be that she is
getting food elsewhere.

Yes, that is quite normal for some cats. I think somebody is giving her
food.

Put a collar tag on her with your phone number and see if you get a
call.  Or at least the other family will see it and possibly tell her
to push off.

lol....or a collar that reads;
"My other family feeds me, but it's not enough".

I agree with the other person that said put a phone number on the
collar
telling anyone who feeds this cat to call.
Good way to meet a nieghbor you might not know and make a new friend.

Would be interesting to find out how far kitty travels to get a good
meal. ;)

And to what lengths that family will go to feed him when he gets there.

this brings up a good question.  can you tell if a newborn  kitten is
male or female?

If you know what you are doing you certainly can.  I have always been able
to sex any kittens born to my cats within the first 30 minutes after
birth.

Yes true.  For most people however, they need to wait a few weeks to
notice signs of testicular descent into the scrotum.  On account of
waiting for that sign, it can take longer to be sure you have a female
since you can spend some time waiting to see if it is a male with
delayed testicular descent.  If you have a lot of experience looking at
a newborn kitten's rear end, however, there are much more specific
signs, but they are also sometimes much more subtle and best left to
those who know.

i adopted my kittens from the ASPCA and they were supposed to have had
their testicals snipped.  When I feel their stomach area, they seem to
have scars.  Is this typical?

Hmmmmmmmm

You don't even know the SEX of your very own kittens, eh?

Sounds like what you are feeling is the scar from a SPAY surgery
(ovio-hysterectomy), which is for females!

Either that, or their 'belly buttons'  :D

I would expect to find an abdominal scar in a speyed female cat, but a
male cat's testicles are external to the body so I would not expect
castration to leave abdominal scars.

If you can feel them, but not see them, then perhaps you are feeling
supernumerary nipples.  Boycats and girlcats have them, especially
noticeable after birth on account of their exposure to maternal
estrogens during pregnancy.

i think they must be nipple because they are lined up 3 to each side,
sort of like what you'd imagine a pig's nipples to be like if pigs gave
milk.

Good grief!  Of course pigs (well, sows actually) give milk!   What on
earth do you imagine piglets feed on, lemonade?

i'm surprised.  since people eat every part of a pig's body, why don't
we see
bottles of pig's milk at the grocery store if pigs give milk?

The post to which you refer is me quoting your own words back to you to
give context to my reply.  You originally penned (well, typed) those words

Ummmmm...

Not sure how familiar you are with the animal kingdom, but pigs are members
of the mamal family, which means that the females give live birth, and nurse
their babies...

Therefore pigs *do* give milk

...and just in case you were referring to a *male* pig, they are called
boars, not pigs (no matter what species of pig you are referrihng to).

people eat pig's feet, pig's lips, pig's intestines, and pig's
eyeballs.  why don't they eat pig's nipples?

In my case, I would have to put;
"My other family feeds me Fancy Feast" collar on Big Mama.
This would undoubtably prevent others from feeding her.
