I'm kind of pissed at my neighbors right now but I don't want to talk
to them while I feel this way. If you look at the picture you can see where my little cat was attacked while hanging around the front of the house. The cat that attacked her has been around here for a long time and has had fights with my other cat who is much bigger but still he has scars on his nose.

So I got a cat trap from Animal Control. I had to pay a deposit of $75 and will get it back if I take the thing back by tomorrow. The very first day I caught that mean cat. And he was mean. I was afraid to get too close to the cage. But they came and picked him up and left the trap.

Well there is another litter around here and I wanted to try and catch them before they grew up and procreate and maybe become mean. I set the first trap and when I went out later on it was moved and tripped. So the next night I set it up closer to my neighbors house because they are the ones who see the cats the most. And the next morning I go over and the trap is tripped again with no animal in it.

I am beginning to think they want these little kittens running around. They just lost an old cat so I understand them not wanting to lose these but they are feeding them and keeping them outside and in the meantime they are growing and getting close to breeding again.

I'm really kind of angry because I think it is irresponsible. And I have no doubt that they tripped the trap because the way it is set up.

Just venting. I'll figure out what to do next.

My poor little KittyKat

2. I think that other cat may have killed her if I hadn't gone running out.
I'm keeping her inside now but I hope she doesn't find the dog door in the back. I used to just let her out the front and she would stay behind the bushes.

3. Keep her in forever!
Please don't let her out again. She's too beautiful and she needs to be safe.

4. I'm going to try real hard but I don't know what to do with the dog door
My last dog just died about a month ago and my other cat Skutch freaks out if I block the door. He mostly hangs out on the lanai or in the back yard of my or my neighbor's house. I live on a section that has a coupled blocks of just trees. I never thought the danger would be another animal. I always though the danger would be cars. But my cats never even crossed the street, they go through the drainage pipe.


Anyway, KittyKat is the sweetest thing. She has brightened up my life and I will keep her in now.
