Well this is no good. Was hoping somebody was up. We had three dogs sprayed by a skunk that was in the garden running around spraying because the dogs on the outside of the fence, were being crazy bad dogs and not listening at all. And DH forgot to get peroxide ( five boxes of baking soda sitting on the bathroom shelf) the other day, so a mad dash to Walgreens and back (thought I lost my billfold at Walgreens) and the dogs get a bath.
So now everybody's up and wide awake (for now) , but not in the best of moods.
The up side is we've trapped four skunks, two raccoons, one possum and three cats this week. The cat collector keeps bring them home and she's up to five cats now, and she started feeding our dogs biscuits so they'll be quite when she over on that side of her house letting cats go. GRRRRRR So, I've been removing the bottom leaves of the bushes between us and you can see all the cat crates and containers of dry food.
Have you ever caught someone doing something there not supposed to do, and it felt so good to laugh about it?
Last summer she claimed a dying cat on our property with my husband telling her no, and animal control let her pick it up and go back to her house, and they followed her and went into her house. She told them the little kitty was under a vet's care for a leg injury and wanted to be with it when they put it down, because she loved it so much . barf gag gag, So anyway they gave her three hours to have it done, and since she claimed the cat as hers she got hit with a no tags, no vaccinations and the cat not in her yard. She can have up to three cats, city tagged , vaccinated, and in her yard or on a leash if outside their yard.
Animal control has been over to check on the number of cats, but if she'd hiding them around the neighborhood that doesn't help. They said she has a grudge against me. I told them I had one against her for coming into my house uninvited, twice, spat at me (my four year old grandson was standing next to me) called my a in front of a client and her two small children and that I wasn't fit to be around children, then she told my granddaughter when she was five to lie to me about the five inch cut over her ear, that it was from a rosebush and not their dog biting her.
So anyway, this happened on a Friday, and the next Wednesday night I round the corner and what do I see, but Marcia taking a cat crate out of the backseat of her car. Later that night/morning my grand daughter was here and she wanted to go have breakfast around three in the morning and what do I see, but Marcia on the other side of her house (The house was empty and up for sale, so she moved her operations. and all her crap over between the houses) letting cat go. She was shocked at being found out twice in a six hour period. Any way the house sold and shes trying to move all the cat's and crap back between our houses. So we've add a bright light, and I'm removing the dead leaves from the bottom of her bushes so I can take photo's for animal control, and I'm putting she'll have to take her habit somewhere else in the neighborhood. We're not against cats, we had to find a home for our cat because all that she brought home would fight and attack him,
This woman doesn't seem to care that every feral cat she brings back to our neighborhood brings fleas, and diseases, and rats, skunks, possums, and a coyote, and we don't want our animals fighting to be in there own yard without being attacked. There are parts of Dallas that have a very bad feral cat problem, up by the Katy Trail where they've caught and nurtured 42 cats so far.
Thanks for letting me rant and rave.
Be careful and watch her like a hawk. She could be trying to poison your dogs with those dog biscuits.
There is no telling what she put on them.
I have to win the award for getting stuck with neighbors that I end up in a war with. I swear I have tried to get off on the right foot with neighbors but the situation always turns into a war for one reason or another.
When my new neighbor bought the empty lot next door, I thought it would be fine until they go to the city to get special approval for something that they should not be doing. And of course the city lets them do it.
It always seems my neighbors end up doing something "special" that causes me grief.
Why cant I ever get NORMAL neighbors. That is all I ever wanted was a normal neighbor that does things normal and stays to themselves like I try to do. But no, there is always something special and upsetting that goes on.
Sounds like the "cat lady" is your unlucky form of "special". Good luck with her moving out. Maybe you will get some peace.
