i was in the yard yesterday weeding the gardens. i spent about 2hrs out there but i think i need at least another hour to finish the entire yard. so far, so good. we just need to turn on the sprinklers and give the grass a good soaking. maybe i'll do that may 1st.
so i was in the dog run picking weeds when i heard a scratching. all of a sudden, a grey, white, and orange cat comes scrambling over the fence into the yard and makes a beeline for the dogs. of course the dogs dont like the intrusion and come running over and meanwhile this damned cat is hissing, spitting, and swatting at the dogs. there's mass chaos, barking, yelling, yowling going on. sounded like a battle zone, i'm sure.
it takes me nearly 10 minutes to get the dogs in the house, but in the meantime the cat has decided the stairs to the house are hers and she's holding down the fort quite well. swatting, carrying on, and lunging at the dogs. the dogs get claws to the face a couple of times. finally i manage to yell enough to get them NOT to attack the damned thing and get czar into the house. hudson gets chased around the deck and swatted at and eventually is cowering in a corner as the cat stands there. i have to intervene and get between them which is not the best option, ever. eventually i get poor hud into the house and deal with this cat who is panting like it just ran a marathon.
i give it some water. i look at it. no injuries but it has either recently given birth or is going to any day. and it's about 1yr old or less. very small, like 1/2 the size of tasha. much too young to be outside, muchless having kittens. and when i look, i can see that it had a collar on it at one point. the hair is down where the collar would be. someone's cat they've abandoned.
very sad, in my opinion. i decide to move the cat into the front and onto the front deck and feed it. probably not a smart idea, but i'm sure it is hungry and needs to feed its kittens. i go and let the dogs out and go back to the cat. by this time the cat has figured out that the dogs are out again, and it makes a beeline for the back yard to attack the dogs. by the time i get to the back, it has czar in a battle and has scratched her numerous times. i finally get the animals separated and toss the cat over the fence. (not literally...just "encouraged" it to get the f away)
the thing is that it's a nice cat. very pretty, young, and likes people. i felt sorry for it. no, it's not right that it came into our yard to attack the dogs (stupid cat) but it's too young to be released into the world to fend for itself.
it just makes me hate people. someone got this cat as a kitten, played with it and then when it got of age, they tossed it outside. why people do this is beyond me. what i'd like to do is find the owner, tie their hands down and pull each fingernail out individually until they agree they'll never get another pet, or i'll finish with their toenails. oh and i wont stop with one nail...i'll pull a few for extra insurance.
psychotic? yes. but animal abuse and neglect makes me homicidal. human beings are a plague upon the earth. i firmly believe it.
