He got his $ back when he returned the trap) We put the trap (clearly marked "CATOOSA COUNTY ANIMAL SHELTER" ) in our yard, and he dropped off a cat at the shelter every morning for 2 weeks. One night the neighbor came into our yard after dark and liberated one that he caught, but we got rid of about 10 and it didn't make a dent in the population. Needless to say, Huey never never never goes outside off leash, other than the deck, and even then I have to check the deck for cats first. I grew up with cats and I have always enjoyed cats, but 60+ feral cats living in the garage (doors replaced with chicken wire) a hut built in their backyard & roaming free is just way too much for me. My hubby has never liked cats, also says he is "afraid" of them(...nice neighborhood...neighbors have connections despite multiple reportings by multiple people for YEARS!) You have my sympathies. A cat could tear a yorkie up! Most of the ones next door are bigger than Huey, not to mention the cat hoarder herself has it out for us for trapping and removing them and has screamed accross the fence that "if that little dog ever gets out, you will never see him again!!! (Neighbors for 18 years...hahaha)  | I would call the health dept and animal control on her. . . Not healthy |
