I just heard something from one of my neighbors that has me furious at another neighbor, named Mark. Mark has an absolutely gorgeous, fluffy gray/white female cat named "Come Here." You guys may remember that I helped get her fixed over the summer, after I found her roaming around outside and learned she hadn't been spayed.
I've always thought of Mark as a nice guy, although he's not the brightest, and he really seems to care about Come Here. I don't agree with him letting her outside, even now that she's fixed, because we live near a busy street, but at least he's taking good care of her.
Well, I just found out that today he took Come Here down the street to a strip mall (it's about 2 miles away) and left her there as an experiment to see if she'd find her way back home!
Fortunately, the neighbor I was talking to said the cat made it home safely. He swears Mark didn't intend to abandon the cat. Still, to do something like that is beyond stupid and, I think even cruel.
Thank goodness she's safe. I've held my tongue on Mark's letting her outside, but he just took this too far. Once I calm down that idiot is going to get a talking to, in as reasonable a way as I can muster, because I don't want to alienate him. He's actually a good neighbor and, as I said, I've seen how much he seems to care about Come Here.
Please send vibes I can handle this well. I don't always deal well with idiots!
