I have this "thing" about the neighborhood cat population. They think my yard is theirs to use as they see fit.
They occupy my front porch in the hot summer months to lay on the cool concrete moderated by my HVAC.
They prowl my shrubs and trees trying to ambush birds and squirrels and spray my bushes to mark "their" territory.
They scratch a shallow hole in my sandy yard and take a dump anywhere and everywhere as though it were declared the neighborhood cat box.
Those owners feel that it is their feline companion animal's "right" to crap in my yard as well.
In the city limits where I live it is illegal for pets to roam the neighborhood unrestrained.
Just where do my rights appear in this picture? They don't.
Today is National Cat Day which is supposed to heighten the awareness of homeless cats. Given the fact that there is a day set aside as well as a non-profit and a web site for these vermin ...
I for one remain unamused and plot the demise of all cats in the area despite the protests of those cat people in my midst.
