It's no secret that I am not a fan of the feline species.
Yet I have tried with all my canine powers to tolerate them... Today was one more reason for me to have second thoughts about my tolerance.
I have a neighbor who lets their cats roam freely outside. You see that instead of being a pet parent that looks after their pet to try and make sure they are safe they think what they are doing is what the "cat" wants. In the meantime the cat uses my yard, my neighbors patio, and flower boxes as its litter box... its really kinda gross. If I go out for a walk my family makes sure to pick up after me so that I am a polite pet.
This morning I was going out on my morning walk. I walked past my mom's car when WHACK.. from underneath the car a black ball of mange caught me right on the side of the face. Fortunately I was pulled back quickly and no significant damage was done. Out ran the black fur demon. It was hissing and took off running. Ok, I tried to forget about the incident as I enjoyed my walk.. That was until I got to my front walk... Sure enough the black fur demon was laying across the walk way. As we approached the cat would not move it laid there and hissed at us. As my girl tried to walk around, and then step over the top of the cat, it tried to scratch her. She quickly picked me up and moved quickly passed the monster.
As we entered the house she immediately checked me over from top to bottom making sure that I was not hurt. No marks... that's a good thing...
So to anyone who will listen I say to you... Letting your pets roam free, is not what's in best interest for your pets.... Your neighbors don't want the poop on the lawns etc. Your pets might be hurt, they could pick up some nasty bugs. Not to mention things like cars, larger animals etc.
So please love us.. give us a safe environment to play, live, and love in...
Thanks for listening to my rant...
Cheers from the dog with the ears.
