Cat Forum / Health and Behavior / May 2006Dumb neighbors
Male and female couple - newly married but older than me - I'd say late 40's early 50's. They have a cat they let roam all day and all night. He is *adorable* - black and white tux, named Buster. The other day I was out standing in my yard talking to another neighbor and a HUGE male coyote ran down the middle of the street. I was *shocked* - while we are somewhat rural, we are very well developed here - there are woods down the street, but most of the area is neighborhood for 5 or six miles in all directions. I never thought I would see a coyote here. The next day I saw the guy who owns the cat and told him about the coyote. I told him he might want to keep Buster in at night. His response? "Nah! The coyotes were here first - it's the natural food chain." WTF is wrong with people? -L. > Male and female couple - newly married but older than me - I'd say late > 40's early 50's.

I'd say kidnap him but I know that's hard to do when it's a neighbor's animal. Of course, if you did take Buster in, they might just assume the coyote got him.

I don't know, I just know people like that should not own animals or have children!

It is a variation of the "Be Free Wild Thing" nonsense some in the UK and elsewhere do. The thing that made my ex-best-friend tell me she would rather her cat have a much shorter life and live it outside "where nature intended her to." Nature? She lived in Baltimore. She got her wish too. >> > Male and female couple - newly married but older than me - I'd say late >> > 40's early 50's.

She got her wish too. Yeah, I now have an *EX* best friend (we were friends for 48 years!). I *had* to drop her when, after months of me telling her the consequences and giving her alternatives, she had both her cats declawed anyway because, "They were scratching my new leather couch!". And then right after they were declawed she made them jump up and down from the washer and dryer to get to their food because she was too stupid to keep the dog out of it any other way!!! *UGH*!!!!!!!!

In the 50 years I have lived here, I've seen a coyote in the daytime one time. OTOH, my daughter's housing additions sounds much like yours. And they have seen a coyote on the school playground *twice*. Makes you wonder what's going on with them. Are they just hungrier because of all the encroachment, or just bolder? Or getting overpopulated and thereby forced into more populated areas...maybe all three. BTW your neighbor is an idiot, but you already knew that. Wonder exactly where he thinks *his* place on the food chain is. Sherry > Was it daytime?

Another neighbor said she had seen it previously sitting in someone's yard in the daytime.

He was acting like something had scared him. he's probably hanging in the woods,and there are some idiot boys who play down there - they may have chased him or something. > BTW your neighbor is an idiot, but you already knew that. Wonder > exactly where he thinks *his* place on the food chain is. I seriously do not understand them. -L. That is sick of him to say such a thing! When my cat went missing I asked my neighbour about it and he said some stupid remark similar. He said there's no foxes around here anymore but when there was he'd see them practically every day running down the road with a cat hanging from it's mouth. Nature's way, they gotta eat. Isn't that a rude comment - especially to tell me given I was simply asking him if he's seen my missing cat. Sick some people! My cat is fine tho, home safe. ALthough on another note.... my parents place is surrounded by coyotees, they come in big bunches right behind the house every night howling, so so close, literally just feet away from the back door and they never got any of the cats and they've lived there 20 years! They do have dogs tho, which likely keeps the coyotees away and the cats are out all hours of the night. Never had to worry about them tho. The dogs protect them I suppose, but my parents would never speak such sickening talk about the food chain and nature. Mind u if they were my cats I'd never let them out of my sight around their house! Simba's Mom |
