    All excuses as far as I’m concerned.

    I found a cat leg the other day, victim to a coyote. But I guess the owners can be comforted that their kitty got fresh air.

    But as a neighbour who deals with this issue and property damage from neighbours cats , if your pet becomes my pest i will deal with it as such, and you’ll never know about it

      Be a little piece of shit, and one day you’ll find out that you aren’t the only one who can kill, as you learn your brakes aren’t functional on the highway.

      Sincerely, Your neighbors <3

        Do you react the same way to people using pesticides or mole traps? A pest is a pest is a pest. If you want the moles to stay safe, don’t let them into your neighbor’s yards. Same goes for cats.

      I mean yeah that sucks that can happen with coyotes, but dude if cats are damaging your stuff it’s because you’re a dick to them. They are smart enough to know and to take it out on you. Also that’s a great way to turn a minor dispute into a violent confrontation. Don’t escalate shit just because you want to feel superior. It’s not a rational response to kill your neighbor’s cat.

        If cats are damaging your stuff it’s because you’re a dick to them.

        I’ve worked professionally with cats for over 7 years. I can confirm that cats will fuck with your shit no matter how you treat them lmao

          See I’ve had the opposite experience. As long as there’s a cat box in neutral territory, food, and water, and you let the cat lead on socializing with you, it’s fine. People run into problems when they treat cats like accessories instead of animals that have their own thoughts, agency, and borders.

          Of course there will always be exceptions but if a cat is fucking with you and only you then you made it angry at you.

            You seem to be imagining these cats harassing But_my_mom_says_im_cool directly. He’s complaining about property damage, not socialization problems. Cats are not crows. They do not remember when you’re rude to them, and then decide to destroy your garden. They’ll simply destroy your garden if it seems like fun

              Yeah but so will any animal. As to the not crows thing I disagree. They absolutely remember and spray and poop your area.

                It’s fortunate that your experience with stray cats has been as positive as it’s been, but anyone who’s actually dealt with them knows you’re full of shit
