I rent a townhouse along an irrigation canal. The irrigation canal is apparently owned by the city. Last summer unbeknownst to me, my neighbor sprayed along the canal because he said it had hemlock in it.
His spraying turned all the weeds brown. This happened in the summer of last year, and my cat got ill in December, and died not long after. She had some kind of lymphoma cancer. She was about 10 years old. I have always felt that his spraying had something to do with it because my cats spend a lot of time along the canal. He is a maintenance man by trade. Not a maintenance here, mind you, but he is a maintenance man for an apartment community elsewhere so he has access to the spraying equipment and chemicals. Now he is getting ready to do it again. He scoffs at the idea that my cat getting sick had anything to do with his spraying last year. I think about all the suffering my cat had to go through, and I am literally about to snap. Am I being overly sensitive? I have OCD so I often do not know when I am being irrational. I have already written the city to ask them if they can do something to interfere. It is city property. The rental management company from whom we rent has no ownership along the canal.
