That is exactly what my mom did. Her cats love it...it gives them a taste of the outdoors with none of the danger. (Your neighbor is a horrible woman!!) If you want to write to her and ask about it, she won't mind. She has fibromyalgia too. Her addy is AlyceAnn47@... Hope this helps!! *********** ~~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello That was my thought exactly. I am sorry you are having such a tough time with her. She seems to lack simple reasoning skills. I think you have made many offers to try and work with her but she is being irrational, my dear. Also I would not trust her ! Take care and I hope you can solve the problem without anymore added stress. Hugs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't get me wrong...if it was practical to mothball my yard I would....I even thought about putting up a privacy fence...one of the 6' jobs...and still may....anything for peace....it even briefly crossed my mind to go back to the other house....Dee > > > >~*~CHAT TIME:~*~ >MON & THURS >Day Eastern 4 PM, Central 3 PM, Mt 2 PM Pacific 1 PM >Night Eastern 9 Pm, Central 8 Pm, Mt 7 PM Pacific 6 PM >WHERE: /chat/ > > >VIP >If there is a problem on this list notify. >Co-Moderator >The_List_Owner@... > > >Add or view links about fibro/CFS. >http://www.onelist.com/links/ > >TO unsubscribe. >Go to: http://www.onelist.com/ to this list and unsub from it. > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know I would....he isn't DANGEROUS or anything...he simply can't jump or hear well since the animal ripped up his head.....he looks fairly normal....head tilts to the side all the time though, and she had no mercy and chased the poor thing.....if it was any other cat I would still have been angry but to have told her and for her to still run him when all he could do was circle the fencing and not get out.....give me a break....I keep track of him closely now....Dee >Andy wrote :your neighbor sounds wacky and I would do everything to protect >my cats >from her. > > >Hello >That was my thought exactly.

Guest guest Posted September 22, 2000 Report Share Posted September 22, 2000 I have a neighbor that has had my cats taken away from me. She lures them over there, starts to feed them, and then when i cant get them to come back over to my house. She called the shelter and they came and picked them up when i was in the hospital. Before she had them picked up the shelter called me and told me that there was a complaint by a neighbor.....so now my cats are all inside cats. They want to go out so bad. I am thinking of making a cat house out back. where they can go out when they want to but cant get out of the inclosed area. ~~~Tami~~~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can believe how mean people can be! I am a cat lover too and I don't know what I would do if a neighbor of mine did that to me! We are blessed and live out in the country where we and our neighbors are not very close together. Even if our cats did wander over there, they wouldn't mind. We are blessed with good neighbors. The Lord created cats very special. I see the sweetness and playfulness of God's own personality in kitties, and in all His beautiful creatures. I hope you can build that special play area for them where they can be safe. glo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
