My neighbor's cat comes into my yard sometimes, I say hello and give her a pet and eventually she wanders back home. Don't let your cat out if you don't want them to meet people
These people are nuts but also keep your cats indoors, walk them on a harness for added enrichment because unlike what most people think they don't just do nothing and need exercise. They are apex predators, highly invasive and capable of wiping out native species not to mention they like hunting/killing for fun too. Awesome animals that deserve respect, these people do not lol
If you don't want your cat going into your neighbours garden, keep it inside or catproof your garden so it can't get out, it's not hard. If anything it's probably like my neighbours cats, they come to our house for some peace and fukkin quiet. The neighbours are aware and are ok with this as long as they return in the evening before they lock up.
Only reason you can be mad about other people attending to your cat is if they are feeding it. Otherwise you are just jealous that the cat choose someone else
Haha. Yes i had cat owner as neighbour doing same thing and once i seen they starved their cat. I was gone to war with them over that cat. Even though i do not like cats at all
Turn it around. Complain to the owner that his cat keeps coming into your yard. Tell the owner to say, "Mercury come home and get out of their yard" while making come here gestures.
That's what I thought too. I'd have just told the guy even your cat can't stand your dumb inbred ass. "we'll let the police figure it out", yeah dude, they'll sit the cat down and explain to it that he shouldn't go where the crazy person doesn't want him to go. What an absolute idiot.
to add to that: we used to think milk made you healthy and smarter, but modern research says not really. however, calcium blocks the absorption of lead. they say to give kids milk or cheese before going into city gardens because of the lead in the soil. Milk doesn't make you smarter, it just makes you less likely to absorb lead.
Calcium, phosphorus and Iron all help reduce lead absorption according to health advice based on research from 25 years ago. Vitamin C is associated too as it is important in Iron absorption. Useful information to know and it explains why lead poisoning was a bigger problem for low income families who struggled to have a good diet.
Is that all you got? You didn't get the joke did you. I guess my natural intelligence and education more than made up for what little lead I got exposed to.
I have the same issue, minus the shitty neighbors' argument. My neighbor's cat is constantly in my yard and shits everywhere. I have to do periodic sweeps to clean it up, otherwise my dog tries to eat it and risks getting sick. I've tried talking to him about it. His response? "Build a fence." First off, I don't have the money for one. Second, YOU have a fence and it doesn't stop your cat from leaving. Why would me having one be any different?
Tell your neighbour to put netting at a 45 degree angle around his fence, it's a good deterrent to cats because they look up, see that hanging above them and think "Oh shit I can't jump up there". There are other ways but this is the easiest one.
Unless the cat is actively in my yard, they said they won't do anything about it. It sneaks around and shits when I'm not there or bolts as soon as I see it.
I have an old pair of sandals I wear when I go out in the yard. Neighbor's cat has shit the consistency of pudding that can be smelled twenty feet away. I refuse to spend 45 minutes cleaning cat shit off my good shoes. The sandals can be sprayed off with the hose.
I would make this situation worse with my smartassed nature. âMercury told me youâre a giant cunt and doesnât want to live with you any longer.â
I would too, but i'd keep an eye out, they're either on something or unstable, or just shitbirds. I know shitbirds, they'll start messing with your stuff and feel justified.
I wish this kind of stuff wouldn't get posted to imgur. I don't like reminders of how stupid/awful some people are unless I can do something about it (like vote out politicians). This stuff just makes me mad/sad with no way to mitigate it.
I'm not fully convinced this isn't a situation akin to assuming humans are fundamentally selfish and greedy because we're only able to witness people's personalities under capitalism. I think there's a good chance that we've simply created an environment that routinely drives people insane through stress and aggravation and conditions them into developing maladaptive coping mechanisms rather than mental illness being innate to our species.
While teetering on the edge of fascism is not the best time to start doubting democracy, I think that Plato might have been onto something when he said we should be ruled by Philosopher Kings. I look at all the ways the world has unraveled in my lifetime, and I can't help but think it's because the people in power AND many of the voters are essentially children. They lack knowledge, they lack critical thinking, they lack the awareness of those shortcomings. Most of all they lack maturity.
We know it would be stupid to give children an equal say in the family's decisions, because children don't know what's best for them. Why then do we let people who don't know what's best for them vote in our society? Children choose to eat candy for supper and stay up past their bedtime. They want instant gratification, they don't think about long term consequences. The reason we can't deal with global warming or pandemics is because the children get a vote. The adults need to take back control.
And what do children want more than to get rid of the adults so that they can have their way all the time? That's essentially what fascism is. If the adults can't maintain control, fascism is basically the inevitable endpoint of democracy.
We have one side that is somewhat normal, and another that is electing people that think Jews are starting forest fires with space lasers. If we can't make the distinction between which group is actually right, we are screwed.
neighbors lured my cat into their house with food, locked him in and then told me i neglect him because I have a full time job. my cat loved visiting many neighbors and everyone was in an uproar over the situation. But in the end, Sylvester decided and preferred the cat nappers with their 8 different kinds of wet food. what can you do?
My cat Basil used to roam to the next door neighbors house to visit her cat âLady Penelopeâ - and the neighbor would put out faintly little plates of tuna on bone china for them every day. It was a completely secret life.
The two bitches were confined by one of those electronic perimeters that gave them a shock through collars they wore. The gate to their backyard was left open. So Harry could go in and visit them. One of the bitches was pretty aggressive. She chewed up the dog next door who was jealous of Harry's visits and climbed the fence to get in the bitches' yard. The bitches' owner, a very attractive blonde, marveled at how her dogs would allow Harry in there yard.
The cat nappers showed me photo albums and his was in their photos of family times at thanksgiving, christmas, a kid's birthday party, and 4th of July! 8 years of taking care of him and he was like: "Well, it's not ME it's YOU. I'm out." and moved one street away. I can't blame him. I would have moved in with them too. I made up a name tag with their address and got him all his shots up to date and dropped him off. They loved him so much how can I hate them?
