(17,235 posts)My Mom has a huge problem with the neighbors cats that have multiplied into a about a dozen now. They have gotten under my Mothers house and have pissed and sprayed, torn up insulation, and chewed through wires.
The piss and crap all over the yard, so my Mothers dogs now have to be taken out on leashes in a fenced back yard so that they don't eat the cat crap or worse....roll in it. UGH. It's bullshit that My Mom has to do this! She has a fenced yard and should be able to use it!
We spoke to the neighbors, called the city.. they don't care. They were finally forced to stop feeding them or face daily fines... the cats have persisted though. I've been looking at rescue groups to come and help but they are so overwhelmed that there is a waiting list!
I love cats, don't get me wrong... just had to put down my seventeen year old sweetie that was a big part of my life! She was never an outdoor cat.. ever. She was a Diva that was loved and stayed indoors all of her life which is why I think she lived that long. My dogs don't go roaming the streets uncontrolled! I love my pets and take CARE of them.
It pisses me off that there are people that just let their cats roam. Take responsibility for your animals dammit!
