[Just mythoughts]

cats don’t read and neighbors who let their cats out at night don’t care.

Cats do what they do and of course they do not read. But surely their sorry neglectful owners do.

While the story does not specifically say it seems to indicate the cat owners knew where their cats had been. So it is reasonable to believe they knew their cats were causing a problem.

And while I would not do what this woman did, I would have shared my strawberries with the cat owners.

“And while I would not do what this woman did, I would have shared my strawberries with the cat owners.”

I totally agree. Although I can understand this ladies frustration when your lazy inconsiderate neighbor refuses to control their animal. Someone else said she should have used a live trap. Those are expensive but it seems a good idea.
