Animal control is all but non-existent here. There are a lot of
advantages to living outside of city jurisdiction but this is not one of
them.
Mama Kitty seems to be doing well tonight. That is a small miracle
considering what I witnessed yesterday with that horrible dog. She's
inside for the most part and I've written some people in town to see who is the
person to call about converting my porch to a screened in affair. It just
wouldn't be right to deprive her of her fresh air and sunshine.
No sign of life at that neighbor's house. I think my intuition was
correct about unhappy things going on at that house.
I emailed my vet tech--who - though she is rather harsh and
straightforward sometimes - has my complete trust. Consulted with her
about what to look for in the injury department and about local contractors for
making modifications to this house for Mama Kitty. I just can't see
putting Mama through the stress of a vet visit if I cannot point to specific
symptoms.
There is a lot to be said for Feliway spray. I found some online for
$16.99 and it is a little spray bottle of wonders. With eight cats I
am no stranger to sibling rivalry and "hierarchical bantering" (and I
say that euphemistically...)...so the Feliway has been a Godsend. There
were no incidents while I was away today...no accidents..no inappropriate
marking or shredding.
I don't have any problem standing my ground with the neighbor...but timing
is everything and I think I will watch and wait for the right opportunity now
that things are calm.
