You don't know what happened to your cat; he may come back. Don't take away someone else's pet as a result.
I'm sorry you're going through this.
I'm sorry you're going through this.
anything they tell me all i can do is shoot them saying if i were u id shoot it they have no animal control here to do anything i would have done that months back if they did trust meA coyote or a coydog probably got your cat, since you have woods surrounding your house. If you want to keep your cat safe, keep him inside. Please don't shoot dogs or spray them with pepper spray or cayenne pepper. That is animal cruelty. Please call the proper authorities and have them deal with it in a humane way.
I'm not going to tell you you should or shouldn't shoot the dogs. That's really up to you, and it sucks that the neighbors are putting you in a position to have to make that decision. Especially if these dogs are a threat to people as well. If you do make that decision, please make sure you do so humanely. Don't let them bleed to death and suffer.
But please, if your cat comes home, keep him inside if possible. These dogs are obviously going to keep coming to your property, and there's other dangers out there. Your cat could have just eaten something poisonous and that's why he hasn't come back. Or hit by a car. Cats are predators, but also prey, so if they can be kept inside, imo, they should be, much like how those dogs should be kept behind a fence or on chains when they aren't in the house. It would be different if this was a semi-feral cat you were taking care of, but if he was an indoor cat before, he should be find indoors. Alternatively, harness and leash train him, and go for walks with him!
I do hope he's okay and gets home soon. It does happen that cats just disappear for a while for seemingly no reason and come back later--sometimes months later--maybe a little worse for wear but otherwise like nothing changed.
Any update on your special guy?
thank youI'm very sorry. I'm sure you are worried sick! You don't have a garage or shred do you? Anything he could have gotten locked in? I'm sure you are beside yourself. Cats are resilient...be strong. You both are in my thoughts.
Yeah but it's better than killing them, if it comes down to that.I have gotten hot peppers in my eyes before and it would be cruel to do that to a dog, especially pepper spray which is made from pepper extract.
here is a few pics of himI'm going to pray for him. What is his name?
