The Start of a Homesteader Mom

Cats, Neighbors and a New Place to Live

Well the other night our neighbor came over holding our cat saying - is this yours? I guess it is getting into his garden. He said I wanted to let you know to keep it away from my yard. I am ready to get my shot gun out. I guess he got 3 of my bils cats when he was there and he said he got 5 of the people before us' cats. He said he has his eye on the cat acrossed the street. He wants to take it out.  I understand the annoyance but that is just cruel. These are peoples pets!

So yesterday I asked Justin where the cat was. I was really afraid that one day it was not going to show up.

Justin said quietly that he took it to a new home.  He said he HATED to do it but he did not want that kitty dying. And it was a ticking time bomb because how do you keep a cat from the neighbors when it is an outside cat and the neighbor lives 20 feet away?

So he took it down the road to a really nice farmer guy who was out. Justin said he saw lots of cats coming from the barn and around. So he asked the guy about taking it. He said sure! You can never have too many cats! Justin told him our story and how our 3 year old loved the cat etc. The farmer said - that is horrible!

So Day is in a good place. But not sure what to tell Alyssa when she wonders where she is. Now my bil also has a cat here outside. I really hope Peaches is ok. I doubt she has long either.

I'm sorry to hear that you had to get rid of your cat! At least you have comfort knowing you saved an animal's life. God Bless. :)
