Hey Elizabeth, They say that wisdom comes with age, and ten years ago, I would not have agreed with you. But having a little more experience now, I totally agree with you regarding confronting your neighbors. However, I did confront my other neighbor about their dog who chased Cricket up a brick column, which ripped out all of his back nails and caused him to get a HORRIBLE infection that almost killed him with the vet's help. I did knock on my neighbor's door, started crying, told her about the $200 vet bill and how Cricket had almost died, and that I lost 2 personal days at work, and asked if she could do a better job of keeping her dog in. (It had been a problem in the past). Haven't seen him out since (except for her a-hole ex-husband, who lets him out to poop on my lawn just to make trouble when he's there to see the kids). He's a real jerk, and imagine this, a deacon at my church! No wonder some people think Christians are hypocrites! lol. Anyway, you are smart to sit back and wait. Your intuition is invaluable. I do agree that it was bad taste to not check on Mama Kitty. Some people just don't have basic social skills, imo. I think the litter idea is great. Do whatever works. You can eventually start mixing litter a little at a time to get her to use whatever you really want her to use. Love the pic of her!!! I LOVE her markings!!! So glad to hear she's doing fine after her battle with the dog!
