Hi
SO SO SO SORRY.
I am sure you feel guilty, But if they were on yout ptoperty, it was not your fault. sure you could have done things a little better. We so keep ours locked up at night and when we are not home.
BUT who wants to keep thier birds locked up all the time. THATS why there is a leash law
for dogs.. I LOVE DOGS - I LOVE CATS but I can not stand people who think its ok to let thiers run.
I had a sweet bunny we all loved in a wire cage on the lawn, we used to take her out every day for sunshine and grass.
one afternoon I went in the house to P only to be horrified by the worst ear piercing screeming.
I ran out to find a neigbhors cat had stuck its paws threw the wire and had my baby in a death grip.
If she had not been in a cage she would have been dead as it was she was a mess and cost me a vet bill we could not afford at the time.
It was many years ago, we lived on base, cats were not suposed to be unattended just like dogs but even with other complaints from the other neigbhors this lady refused to stop letting her cat out and the SPs were not forceful, her cat had been nonsense in all the babies sand boxes and digging up freshly planted seedlings to use as an easy dig litter box.
Well I finally had enough... And when I saw her cat poop in my flower bed I calmly got the shovel scooped it up and walked down to her house knocked on the door and when she answered I said this is yours I don't want it and dropped it at her feet. I walked home called the SPs and said if ya hav't been called yet ya might want to send someone over here, they said they were called and would be there shortly. When the guy came I told him the history & that enough was enough and that if it pooped in my space any more she would be getting that back also. the sp said stay away from her if it happens again call them and they will take it back.
They told her she had had more than her fair share of warning and that if the cat was seen out again it would be taken and her husbands squadren leader would be dealing with her husbands non compliance no matter how the animal got out.
NO MORE poop IN THE SAND BOXES.
