Thanks, Julie. I hear you loud and
clear. I have a friend who feeds a
few different colonies here, and one of the colonies she is having a real problem
with the neighbor. This neighbor
threatens her safety of cats if she continues to feed them, and throws the food
away every time she put the food.
She tries to put all different areas, and put it out between 2 am and 6
am, that’s when she found that the neighbor is not watching her - She rarely sees the cats anymore maybe because
of the time of the day, maybe they are afraid of the neighbor – anyway,
only if I win millions of dollars, I would gather all the feral cats nation
wide and hire emphatic vets full time and take care of them for the rest of
their lives -. -----Original Message----- Hi Everyone, Hideyo, I'm sorry that you have to deal with the
stress of trying to help these cats and keep them safe from the dogs, all the
while worrying that it could cost your job. I am working on trapping and relocating a feral colony
because there are dangers to the cats from employees on campus; threats have
been made about 'getting rid' of the cats. One of the people I'm working
with is a police officer (one of the geniuses who has threatened the cats did
so in front of her and she told him if anything happened to them she'd come
looking for him first; now, really, just how stupid do you have to be to say
somehting like that in front of a cop? We're really dealing with Mensa
members here). If we go to Administration we're afraid that they'll have them
trapped and killed. It's so frustrating; we have people who are afraid now
to go there and trap because of harrassment, and we can't all be there all the
time. Plus, most are living underground where there is a heat source so
they are not predictable in their movements; it's so cold and snowy here that
their schedule is very irregular and we can't leave traps unattended in this
freezing weather. Arggg! I really sympathize with what you're going through and
I wish you the best. Julie
