Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / November 2007Night time and weekends cats
Little Boy comes in and night, but Bucky stayed out for two days. So Friday morning when I feed the ferals, Bucky comes bounding in, and runs up to Little Boy as if to say, "C'mon, you gotta see this!" I open the front door to feed the ferals at THAT door, and Bucky and Little Boy bound out that door together. Well, it's cold and raining outside. Inside of half an hour, Bucky and Little Boy stand, with paws on the window sill, meowing to come back in. My thought is that Little Boy told Bucky what a stupid idea it was to go out (Little Boy likes his comforts more). So both are back in for the weekend (yay!) - management is offsite during the weekends. Being allowed to go outside seems to have invigorated Bucky, at least. I am STILL looking to find a place of our own, so that we don't HAVE to let two cats out during the day. Hugs and Purrs, Mark -- Proof of Sanity Forged Upon Request > Little Boy comes in and night, but Bucky stayed out for two days. > [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] > Hugs and Purrs, > Mark I still think its insane to put cats out for that reason. Is management going to come in and do a head count? Since you are looking, I'd sure be tempted to make a really comfy room inside and just put them in there for the day if you think management might knock on the door. I don't think they can just ask to inspect around can they? >> Little Boy comes in and night, but Bucky stayed out for two days. >> [quoted text clipped - 24 lines] > there for the day if you think management might knock on the door. I > don't think they can just ask to inspect around can they? I don't know the terms of Mark's lease. But where I live the manager and also maintenance people can come and go as they please, whether I'm at home or not. I'd come home from work to find the pest control people (who are only under contract, they don't actually *work* for the complex) had come in and sprayed in my absence. They' leave a card on my kitchen counter. Trust me, I did not appreciate having strangers come into my home when I wasn't around. So I printed out a big bold sign and taped it to the front door: NO SPRAYING INSIDE DUE TO PETS. But the point is, most apartment leases allow for the manager and any of their staff to have full access to the premises. Jill > I don't know the terms of Mark's lease.

When we were renting in California, the law said that landlord could enter the property without notice only in case of emergency. Other than an emergency situation, he was required to give notice first (if I recall correctly 48 hours notice). Here in Iowa I don't think that restriction exists. >> I don't know the terms of Mark's lease.

True, the laws must vary all over. And really, with the exception of the pest control folks I don't think any of the apartment complex employees care to go traipsing through my apartment all willy-nilly :) However, Mark's landlord has told him to put two of the cats out so I'm sure the jerk will find some excuse to enter the premises... even if he has to manufacture an "emergency". Probably in Iowa you walk in someone's house unannounced you would be met with a 12gague shotgun!!! People ususally respect each others privacy. >> I don't know the terms of Mark's lease.

People ususally respect each others privacy. Now, now. The most an unannounced visitor would find in our house (in Cedar Rapids, IA) is a couple of partly dressed humans (we scared our neighbors and had to put up drapes), one fat cat who will trip them as he positions himself for attention, and six other cats scurrying for cover. Now if said unannounced visitor had bad intentions, s/he'd get a cat tossed at his face (think claws extended) followed by any number of arcane weapons (sword, staff, dagger, a second cat, and one pudgy screaming black belt). :-) And Mark, I really hope you can find a solution that lets you keep all your kitties, or finds them good, loving homes. Kalynnda, who just had Velcro announce that he wanted attention by stretching up and trying to break my computer keyboard drawer. It's amazing how strong a 19 lb. cat can be. > Now if said unannounced visitor had bad intentions, s/he'd get a cat > tossed at his face (think claws extended) followed by any number of > arcane weapons (sword, staff, dagger, a second cat, and one pudgy > screaming black belt). :-) Hmm. This sounds comical, but if an intruder seeming to have bad intentions were in my house, I would do everything I could to keep my cats *away* from that person (possibly jeopardizing my own safety in the process). I mean, if a cat were to scratch an intruder's face and then manage to get away, then the cat would probably be a good weapon of self- defense. I would just be too afraid to take the chance that the person would get hold of the kitty and hurt it.

Anyone who doesn't have it. I will gladly give it except for the pieces of sh.t like you. You have me kill filed a.shole but you feel brave to respond behind your kill file to my post. We call that a internet Rambo but they are nothing better than a coward; which you are. You are going to hear that the rest of your life. Coward. This conversation is going to piss you off all day long. All you had to do is walk away but no you have to be a piece of sh.t don't you. You prove every time you say something about me and now my family THAT YOU ARE A COWARD AND A w.nker. I notice that you are a.shole in other groups also. Seek for support across the pond. Walk away it is simple. You got me in your kill file but I must be important in your life if you feel like you have to comment about me that much. I must get to you. You are back in my kill file.

A good stop it would have been perfect but that is your right. I looked back over the post between these two; being a lurker here myself. Agreed it doesn't belong in the newsgroup but it seems that the Adrian A fellow antagonizes Matthew when every he sees on of his post thru somone elses seply. I say both of you Plonk one another and stop responding to replies involving the other. It is what is best for the group. Peace Both need to stop. Insulting ones family only is one step above being a pityful person but calling someone a w.nker is not great thing either. It takes a bigger man to walk away. Lets see if either of you can. Just my 2 cents Jack and Jill sending calming tidings to each so they will both stop My apologies to the group except to you know who I realized after I sent the comments I should have keep it out of the group But when I or my family is attacked, antagonized I will respond The OP is in my kill file and will stay there permanently > My apologies to the group except to you know who > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > The OP is in my kill file and will stay there permanently Add my apologies to the group as well.

None of us hold the original poster responsible when they do. (At least I don't think anyone does) I'd like to invite any other lurkers to come out and play sometimes as well. Jo >> My apologies to the group except to you know who >> [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > > Sam, closely supervised by Mistletoe It's not anything you did, Sam, please don't feel that it's your fault. The beef between Adrian and Matthew goes back *way* before this thread and has nothing to do with you or what you posted. I vote you stick around, please! ;> Hugs, CatNipped Would you two killfile each other already before we have to killfile you both. Yeesh. Both of you just need to do that. >>>> I won't say what would happen to an intruder in my house but click >>>> click boom [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > FRONT OF ME OR ANYONE ELSE FOR YOU KNOW YOU WOULD GET YOUR a.s KICKED.

I advised that around 7-10 days ago. It is possible to debate about subjects on this group which both parties can get heated about. I have done it myself but have never seen the need to post personal insults. I think if you result to that your argument has failed. Both Adrian & Matthew are valued posters to this group. I would like them both to take a step back for a week or so to see if simmering feelings will go away, and then see if they can have a truce. I don't want to killfile either of them because I like both of them. Individually. Both have a lot to offer to the group. Boys, if you feel you will never get along, ever, just killfile each other. You make me nervous. I come to this group for an escape and you are ruining it with your nasty hateful arguments over nothing that is important. Tweed MY apologies He is in my kill file now. But I will respond to anyone who personally insults me or attacks my family. Specially if some one laughs at the comment >> Would you two killfile each other already before we have to killfile you >> both.

But that should not be an excuse. I truly apologize to you and the others that I call friends here in the group. I just don't like being attacked twice in one week and my family being attack . And I don't seek him out either to have it done either. The who will not be named is on my kill file now and I hope people will remove any replies to him that involve me. > Both Adrian & Matthew are valued posters to this group. > I would like them both to take a step back for a week or so to see if > simmering feelings will go away, and then see if they can have a truce.

You make me nervous. > I come to this group for an escape and you are ruining it with your nasty > hateful arguments over nothing that is important. There are two problems here. One is, I don't think they're really disagreeing about subjects or issues. I think it's just that they can't stand each other. One of them could say, "The sun is shining," and the other would say "You're such an *ssh*l*". :) It's more a personality thing than an opinion thing, IMO. Second, killfiling fails when other people quote the person you've killfiled - suddenly, they have risen from the dead and are back on your screen. I know there are some news clients that have fairly sophisticated killfile functions, where you can kf posts not only made by the poster in question, but also any posts that *quote* that poster. As I understand it, this flame fest happened because one person saw quoted comments written by the other in a third person's else's posts. I don't know if either Adrian or Matthew have that capability, but it might be worth looking into. Joyce > > Both Adrian & Matthew are valued posters to this group.

I actually liked him when I first came here a couple years ago. It all stems back to arguments with a poster who no longer comes here. We had problems than she had problems with the whole group. He joined in, backed her and it escalated from there. He has never let it go. I personally could care less what he does but I will not stand idle by and specially when I have been attacked twice in a week, been wished a short life and have my family life attacked. Than have someone laugh about it. You can read my response to Evelyn and see why I am very irritated with the situation. I apologize to the group. I had cleaned out my kill file but he is back in there along with the puppy wizard and his sock puppets. > Second, killfiling fails when other people quote the person you've > killfiled - suddenly, they have risen from the dead and are back on [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > Joyce If you know a link please post it. I would love to add something like that. I have him kill filed supposed so does he but every time he sees a response with my name in it he attacks. I am done with him. I asked him to walk away before. I am not going to go back down to his level again. I apologize once again to my friends and the group. >> > Both Adrian & Matthew are valued posters to this group. >> [quoted text clipped - 54 lines] > to walk away before.

I thought the one in Florida WAS married > (happily)! It is a totally Inappropriate remark and comment from two of them. Evelyn, Last year my now ex-wife took a turn for the worse in her mental capacity. She has had problems before in the past which were dealt with; by daily medications. She went off her medication and literally turned evil and dangerous. She gave up on everything started to be come compulsive with her health and mine to the point were it was dangerous. She attacked my elderly mother and myself. She even tried to hurt my cats. She gave up her job started spending and doing things that were not healthy; even her family and friends told her so. Than she got involved with her sister which is the root of her problem and it went way south from there. She stopped coming home, stopped bathing or changing clothes. She got caught drinking and driving which caused a solo accident, got in another accident two days later. She got her license suspended and was arrested for that when she got caught speeding. I gave her a choice please seek medical help or I was gone too sum it all up. It became very messy in the divorce. We have a prenup that says the business which I started comes to me, the cats come to me. Everything that I brought into the marriage with me belongs to me; such as family property and my businesses. What is hers is hers and what is mine is mine basically. The rest that we acquired during marriage was to equally divided. She got one of the 3 houses. I had already paid for her and her kids college education. The other house was given to her by me; I did not need it and was not going to put her kids out. The prenup was in place and updated by lawyers yearly and basically when someone fights it and loses they pay attorney fees; she ran up quite a bit she had to sell the houses that her kids were living in. So she screwed her kids over with her mental problems. She tried to steal the cats, to sell of things that belong to my family; such as my father's rings. My first wife tried to kill my cats; I swore no one would be able to hurt them again. She broke into the house after the injunction for domestic violence was served on her. She got he kids involved and lied to them. She lied to the judge and her lawyer about the prenup; which when update were done it was video and audio taped. Her first lawyer dropped her as a client when my lawyer showed him the prenup. She told the judge their was violence and adultery in the marriage but when question about it. The judge caught her in lies. He even held her in contempt for her continual ranting and out burst in the courtroom. If one lie did not work she would do another one. The judge and even her own attorneys caught her in the lies. The judge even order a mental evaluation which she failed. It ended up having her son have power of attorney to continual everything. They even challenged the divorce on the grounds of her not being mental capable of signing but it was proven by her own doctor that she was perfectly fit as a fiddle when she was on her meds which she was at that time. They were even shown by the judge what she had done and what she had lied about. But being her kids; not mine biologically, they believed mom. The son left one of my stores with no manager or access to money for the cashier's. He got in my face I told him to leave he shoved me. I called the cops and got him removed. The management company the runs my employees fired him and his sister when they refused to come to work. I had to put up the stores up for sale which the sales are final real soon. I can't run all there stores by myself and the kids were my managers that I trusted. So I found a buyer and I am going to retire soon. As a celebration for myself I am going on a cruise in January. On the another note she was placed in something like a halfway home by her kids for people with mental problems. Her family ( sister) says there is nothing wrong but her kids put her there and have begged her to stay on the meds. She has to be forced to take them daily. She is fine once she is one them but doesn't want them. I found out thru her son a couple weeks ago when he called me to tell me what happened and to apologize for his and his sister mistake. They asked me for help which I said I would do what I can. So now you know why those comments about my now ex marriage where inappropriate and I am a little irritated about it. >>Which "Matthew" is that? I thought the one in Florida WAS married >>(happily)! > Evelyn, Last year my now ex-wife took a turn for the worse in her mental > capacity. <snip> > It became very messy in the divorce. <snip> > So now you know why those comments about my now ex marriage where > inappropriate and I am a little irritated about it. Wow! Obviously I missed all that! (Of course I don't read ALL the posts on this newsgroup, there are just too many of them, and real life interferes, sometimes.)

Matthew has made what must have been quite a painful post to explain why he did. He shouldn't have needed to do that. I would like it if you would just ignore each others posts, even if you see them quoted in another message. Let this be a safe place, please. I have no difficulty with a good robust argument around a topic, but the moment it descends into personal insults is the time to step away. IMO. And besides, if you do that, you have always lost the argument. This is my last post on the subject.

People ususally respect each others privacy. Well, in our house it would be a WWII sniper rifle, but the same principal applies. People *do* usually respect each other's privacy, and if someone intent on bad deeds was to try to enter the house he would get some 7.62x54R manner lessons.

As we have neighbor houses relatively close by (within 200' for the closest), that isn't an option for us. A 1911 in .45ACP loaded with an 8 round mag of Federal HydraShok (with two 10-round Chip McCormick mags full of 230 gr ball handy for replenishment) is our CQB choice right now. A Remington 870 is on the wish list but it would need a tactical pistol grip for navigating the narrow hallway. Minimizing wall penetration, from our house into the neighbors' houses, is a must. What kind of warning effect would a 12 gauge shell loaded with used kitty litter have on a perp? ;) Signatureannoyed@net.spammers Craig, Kathi & "Cat Five" the tabby girl "One way that you can tell that 'Mythbusters' has been in the area is to look for shrapnel in the trees." - Jamie Hyneman I swear you and my DH are related genetically somewhere along the way, Lee > > Probably in Iowa you walk in someone's house unannounced you would be met > > with a 12gague shotgun!!!

As did mine, until I moved here. Because this is a "senior facility", they must have emergency access to our apartments. However, that access is supposed to be limited, and we sign documents when we move in, specifying whether their various services - maintenance, housekeeping, etc. have permission to enter in our absence. Since I only pay for one meal in the dining room, and make my own breakfast so I can sleep in, I was not amused when I was awakened about six-thirty A.M. last Wednesday by light streaming into my apartment from the opened front door, followed by a startled gasp as my furry escape artist confronted the intruder! Aside from the fact that seems an ungodly hour for housekeeping to put in an appearance, they are SUPPOSED to knock. (No one pays any attention to my doorbell and the sign above it.) If she did, it certainly was not loud enough to be heard, nor did she allow time for me to answer! (Some of the other residents have apparently had them walk in when they were using the toilet, or stark naked in the shower, so I guess I was luck I was only in bed, asleep.) Of course, my immediate, half-awake response was to scream "GET OUT!" and head toward the door in my nightclothes to enforce it. "Rules" or no rules, there is now a security chain on my door, which should discourage further invasions (although unfortunately, it allows the door to open wide enough for Melisande to slip out). I know from experience (a burglary when I lived in Pasadena) that those chains are easily broken if someone is really DETERMINED to get in, which should make it okay for paramedics or true emergencies, but hopefully it will discourage any more over-eager members of the housekeeping staff.

I think most places they have to give you notice they intend to do so, but I'm not sure. > Little Boy comes in and night, but Bucky stayed out for two days. > [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] > Hugs and Purrs, > Mark P.s. I'm extremely relieved to hear Bucky showed up.

And I am praying for you to find one pretty damn quick. You may have killfiled me perhaps, since you have never responded to me ever but hey, I am wishing that you can find a place where you can keep all your kitties and will be happy.

Mark doesn't respond to most posts, I've noticed. I thought the same thing as regards my own posts, but he has responded to some, so I know I haven't been kf'ed. Probably just a time-management thing. Joyce I think he is like me, I purr for those who want it but don't get to respond as much as I would like due to time constraints... heck I don't even get to read all I want, today I am getting sicker and sicker so I figure I will read until I can't make sense of it, Lee > > Little Boy comes in and night, but Bucky stayed out for two days. > > [quoted text clipped - 21 lines] > > Tweed
