They are YOUR OWN CATS. YOU HAVE THE RESPONSIBILITY TO PUT THEIR CAT CRAP WHERE YOUR DOG CAN’T GET IT IF HE LIKES TO EAT IT! People who let their animals roam have no regard for other people or their property.
We have 5 acres, completely fenced. Fences don’t keep cats out. And, as I posted previously, in a couple of cases haven’t kept a local beagle and her sidekick out. I kenneled them until their owner could come get them because I knew who they belonged to.
I treat my dogs monthly for fleas. We spend a lot of money to treat the property for fleas. I don’t want cats or other stray animals spreading their filth on our property that we work hard to maintain. Why is it so much to ask that people keep their own animals on their own property?
Did you read post 146?
Most or all pet cats are treated for fleas, and I assume that all cat care groups treat the cats for fleas.
You are yelling, and there is no need to do so-particularly since I just pointed out my solution to the cat/dog thing, and it was not a big deal.
Apparently people who live in a rural area where you do are very, very different from here-I thought you lived in a condo or something the way you talk about animals on your property.
Where I live-on 5.6 acres-the nearness of the river dictates that we must only use bio-safe, plant based insecticides and weed control because of possible runoff-no raid, no roundup, etc. No point bitching about it-live on acreage, maintain that acreage.
The stuff works, smells better than poison, isn’t all that expensive-and I don’t get all wrapped around the axle over my neighbors’ animals for the sake of good relations-and I’ve had their goats and even a horse walk through a weak place in the fence-I made a simple, polite phone call, they came down the road and I helped them corral the runaways-I didn’t even go nuclear about the horse crap in the driveway, right by my truck-if I were freaked by animal crap/filth, I would not be living in the country-animals get out and wander down the road-it is not always the owner’s fault-I’ve found that copping an attitude just annoys that neighbor more.
Anybody else starting to suspect that “Roo” needs some sympathy? If Roo is real, I’d buy him a beer. ;)
