Sounds strange, doesn't it... but I think someone was trying to catch one of my cats for dinner
!
You see, we have Thai workers in the neighborhood and they are notorious for hunting and eating animals around them. They have caused major ecological damage in some parts of Israel by hunting wildlife but they are said to like dogs and cats meat too!!!
This evening, as I was sitting and watching TV with hubby, I heard this noise of someone walking right behind our house. It was dark outside and one of the cats was out so I opened the window to see if there was anyone out there. I heard someone making the kind of sound you make when you're trying to call a cat. At first I thought maybe my brother-in-law (who lives next door) was for some odd reason calling our cat, so I called out loud "Who's there? Is that you Boaz?", but no one answered. I got outside and I noticed that my BIL was taking a shower at his place so that wasn't him (checked with him later as well).
At that stage, my hubby ran outside to see if there was anyone there, but he couldn't see anyone in the dark.
Well, we fear that maybe one of the Thai workers came over to get his dinner.
I'd hate to blame them unjustly and we didn't actually see anyone, but this is too scary! I don't want my babies ending up on a plate!!!
They're both inside now, but I can't find the new stray that's been living in our porch these past few days
I hope he shows up by tomorow morning...
