(39,961 posts)And I paid for it. The lady that lured them here to begin with had been feeding them for months before that. See, problems like this don't start overnight. I didn't go out of my way to find the little bastards, they started stalking everyone that had pet food out because that lady had been feeding them all summer.
I realize that you are one of those that likes to immediately find culpability in any person that does something stupid and blame them for it, but I *DID* quit feeding them long before I got bitten.
Did I feed them? Yeah, a few times, before I discovered their aggressive nature, then I STOPPED. They kept invading the neighborhood, however, because they already had an established source of food.
You can blame me for a lot of things, including the fact that I initially found them cute, but I wasn't the one luring them here to begin with.
But hey, thank heavens I'm not rabid. And frankly, thank heavens I don't go out of my way to be caustic and self-congratulatory when someone has something bad happen to them.
My hope is that others learn from my stupidity and mistakes. If it comforts you to call me an idiot, then thank goodness you are giving someone else a rest, snooper2.
