Lady two homes down is on cat #3...first two she let roam around at night...she thinks someone catnapped both of them. Given the number of coyotes running around, I suspect both were scooby snacks. Keep the cats in the house.
Cats tend to **** in my kids sandbox instead of the yard. Much worse in my mind.
But as with any pets, are the owners just letting them wander around without trying to contain them, or are they just occasionally getting out? I just think that there should be a reasonable attempt by the owner to keep their pet in their own yard, regardless of what kind of animal it is. Whether that's a fence, physical or invisible, or some sort of tie out.
Yeah given the number of missing cats on next door..,Lady two homes down is on cat #3...first two she let roam around at night...she thinks someone catnapped both of them. Given the number of coyotes running around, I suspect both were scooby snacks. Keep the cats in the house.
Also a good idea to increase the penalty for letting your animals roam at-large...which is illegal in most cities.People so willing to kill a cat...guess it probably was a good idea to increase the penalties for those animal cruelty laws.
A lot more people on here willing to plunk a cat with a 22 than I expected.
I just have like 10th generation flood cats that run around and have loud sex at night.It doesn't bother me but I've never experienced anything posted in this thread. Growing up we always had a cat that roamed the neighborhood and we do now, it's like an unofficial mascot. They are fixed and don't f with stuff.
We currently also have a dog that roams the neighborhood but everyone knows and loves her. She doesn't leave the cul-de-sac and always just lounges in her yard unless she knows you and you are out, then she'll come visit.
Our street seems very unique on a lot of things though.
Not a lot of wildlife in my neighborhood in town other than squirrels and rabbits. I don’t see those becoming endangered anytime soon. And most domesticated animals don’t have the instinct to hunt.I really feel bad for people who think it's ok to let's cats roam free. You obviously aren't well read or give a damn about wildlife..
Saw my neighbor pin a stray to the ground in his backyard with his compound bow in his boxers at 530AM with no warning whatsoever. Pretty damn awesome to watch.
Quite literally, the only time my dog barks is at the ******* cats.

I wish ours wouldn’t leave if we let him out. Everyone that meets him is smitten. How can you not be? We got him when he was two-ish so he’s beyond training to not leave. He loves people and any other dog but he will cower at almost anything, even at 103 lbs. The shelter said he was the only dog they could leave out with any of the other 45ish other dogs. He also spent some time in the clink down in Clarinda as a prison dog.

MAJOR league cudllepup right there....
No Birds? Weird neighborhood.Not a lot of wildlife in my neighborhood in town other than squirrels and rabbits. I don’t see those becoming endangered anytime soon. And most domesticated animals don’t have the instinct to hunt.
Dog getting loose by mistake is different than just allowing your cat to roam.
Doesn't bark at squirrels or rabbits though?@discydisc you can call this optimistic but it’s the truth. He cowers away at any dog out there. He’s a 100 lb sissy. My SIL’s 4.5 lb dog bosses him around but he does not like cats up in his territory.
