In the hi rise apts, the cats were not an issue, though two homes Sally and 4 wheel were no problems....for us, but in the town house, some neighbors wanted to take an open ~1/4 acre bare plot of grass between the buildings as a ball field for their kids......and they went to raise hell with all the CAT owners, for letting the cats run out the back basement doors....hillside development....and so it grew into a confrontation.....two packs of residents, one wanting the field to remain shit free and the pet owners on the other side....dawgs not really involved because mainly on a leash......so in the middle of this one of my/our cats went up to the middle of the 'field' and took a SHIT....and the cat haters about went krazy.....as WE cat/dawg folks went APE SHIT WITH LAFFTER!!!!!.........

we moved out to a typical 1/4 acre house with the cats after two years.....

they both got older and after I left the house to her, they ran out the cat doors and got hit in the streets, dead....she/kids found them......

never an issue with my house can cats....back door kitty doors.....have had two of them here for some 20 years now.....and so the most recent pets have been lost this year age 14 for the chiwawa and one of the smaller/female cats....her larger brother is still around and free to dominate the area, but at age 14 he is about as tired as I am....so he snoozes on the desk behind my monitor.......and still uses outside doors....not seen him in front yard for over a year now.....but we feed oddball cats that show up all the time......oh well....I going to take some pix of a totally lovely looking kitten-ish cat that shows up.....to the distress of a stupid neighbor.....

I think you have it wrong. They wanted their tuna and then planned to lock you out of the room.

Use an aluminum baseball bat. 2-3 hits between the eyes usually does it.

Don't live near my home, and if any stray cat comes by my home, it will be relocated.

No lockup for kittehs. I finally got them to use the pallet wood bed I made them about a month ago. Working on steps so I can reclaim my step ladder.

Nice of you to do that for them, and they clearly appreciate it.

Fun little covid project. I got the idea from gray kaT who was always lying on the top of the step ladder which is too small for him and calico kaT. We have a farm nearby that lets me take as many pallets as I want any time. Solid oak. Good stuff but a bitch to disassemble.

We should open an Etsy. I’ll custom build beds and you can train kaTs. It takes about a month.



I also made Christmas ornaments and trivets from pallet wood and wine corks. GK’s got wiener dog and choo choo train. Piggy, reindeer, sitting dog got packed away.

That’s awesome, and I’m sure they appreciate not having to step up over. lol
