For the last few days, Bentley has been standing guard at our front door and night and growling at something in the bushes. Last night, I took a strong beam flashlight and a sleeping bag and laid outside waiting. Turns out it is a beautiful young 4 month maybe kitten- black and white speckled face- feral as can be. I got some cat food and a dish and when I belly crawled under the hydrangea to give it a meal- it took off and ran across the highway! That is where it is coming from. There is a cat hoarder (a mean cuss of a man) over in that direction, and I would bet he is coming from there. That’s a nasty road to travel in t he daytime. I am just praying he stays on his side of the highway because I don’t want to wake up in the morning and do a road check and see him there.
On a more somber note, someone is committing great atrocities to cats here in Sweet Home. There have been eight cats reported as victimized- all have died. I will spare you the details but ask that you pray they get the monster who is doing these heinous acts. My money is on a kid doing this- I hope when they find him (and the police are on it) they hang him by his gonads on the centuries old tree in town.
As far as cats are concerned, you live in a most undo-operative part of the continent. Many people don’t realise that people torturing animals are just practising before they eventually move on to people. It’s bad enough that animals are tormented but if they don’t stop this evil, it will move on to humans, and those least able to defend themselves.
unCO-operative, I meant…
I agree and I don’t have the stomach or the heart to search but I would bet he is videotaping this and putting it up on YouTube, I did mention this to animal control perhaps to plant a seed, I don’t know. I just know that I don’t need to read about these cats on social media. I see daily what horrors people do to animals especially dogs and cats. 🙁
