Cats taking up residency under my shed. For the life of me I will never understand why some people have to take their love for every GD stray cats in the neighborhood and force their neighbors to suffer because they want to feed them. Than make excuses for why I shouldn't trap them since there's been other wild animals living under MY shed for years now. (according to her a fox, ground hog, opossum) Ok, sure I get that and I never knew of any of that IF that is true except an opossum. Which we trapped and took to the woods and released but that does not give them the right to feed these strays under the fence and in my yard. It's really starting to piss me off. Don't get me wrong I dont hate cats, I just am sick of cleaning up after them and not being able to enjoy a trip outside without smelling cat piss. I can't even keep my windows open on a hot day due to the smell.
So now after having two polite conversations about the situation with her the same women who I"ve known for 25 yrs I'm the bad guy. Because the mamma cat got caught in one of my traps. Which was the whole point. She knocked on the door told me she was trapped and says "now what". She goes around back onto my property and released her and is now even more pissed off at me. Seriously ?? She says that she's keeping the mom, she even named her and she will let her pick her up so hello? If she want the damn cat than why not take her and keep her in the house with the rest of her dumpster cats. The kittens will have no other choice than to come out. But if she keeps feeding them under my fence and right on the other side on her side they will have no reason to leave, hell they've got it made. (Breakfast, lunch and diner) served to them. They don't even have to leave their den and that dont' fly with me. Hell they probably would have left already if not for her feeding them.
And get this, she heard gun shots a few nights ago and mom cat didn't show up for a few days after and she actually accused us of shooting the mother. WOW ! Than during a phone conversation she said "I can't stop you from filling in the hole, hell suffocate them if you want." Damn, we want the cats gone not dead. She asked "What is your damn hurry?" Honestly I didn't need to answer but she has just entered my yard and passed me on her way out and didn't speak to me so I answered and I let her have it.....
My response was blunt and to the point and I really don't regret it:
"If you would quit feeding them and putting food under the F** fence they would have a reason to come out. But you keep doing it. Plus Scott is on vacation starting Sunday and we need time to figure out how to block the hole."
So yeah . . this is how my week has gone. So what the heck am I suppose to do. We want to prevent all animals from living under our shed.
