My neighbors cat has decided that my back yard is now his new home and my inside cats are having a fit. Unfortunately, the owner of this cat gives the same general response as most people who do not want a cat inside their house "he scratches the door to go out, he cries and keeps me awake" but let's put the shoe on the other foot here. This cat now scratches at MY door and keeps ME awake. The owner doesn't seem to care as I have spoken with her, helped get her cat into her house many times, but she continues to let him out. Now this cat has become a major bully; he attacked my other neighbor's tiny cat in their yard and sent her neutered female to the vet with 16 stitches. Did the owner of the cat offer to pay for the vet bills? Of course not. Did the the owner care at all that their cat is beating up others so they can sleep peacefully at night? No, of course not. Now, he has moved to the front of my house, a street away from where his owners live and is now attacking other cats in the other streets.
All of the neighbors have gotten together and approached the owner, who still claims " but he keeps me awake" I have to let him out. Bull hockey! They don't want the cat in the house at all, they have 4 dogs.
No one on these forums has said what needs to be said. This cat is a bully and needs to be removed from the area if not put down. His owner doesn't care and he is sick with kidney failure, dehydrated and matted fur. they are not taking care of him and frankly, he would be better off dead. I have mentioned to this owner that there are people on the other street that will take him to animal services in a heart beat if they catch him attacking their cat and frankly I will help. The owners don't care, which tells me they just don't want to spend the time or money to put him down or surrender him to animal services.
Irresponsible cat owners are people that should not have pets. If they bother them so much, then give them away, don't force them on your neighbors because you want to sleep! I am sick and tired of being the nice guy, no more! And yes he is neutered, that doesn't matter if they they are not neutered before 1 year old. They still spray and are still aggressive after. Trap and release would be released to another part of the county.
