Here's a story for you, I've lived in my home over 15 years. We have an older couple for neighbors, open back yards, no fences. The lady is an animal lover, very sweet. Her husband, not so much. We had a couple of stray cats show up, she starts feeding them. We bought a new car, a mustang, I get up one morning, and there are paw prints and smudges all over my car, I was pissed. I took a deep breath, and asked her nicely to quit feeding them so that they would move on, they were eating the birds, the squirrels, they were becoming a real nusance... and my neighbor would bitch about the cats eating the birds and was a witness, along with myself, to one of the cats carrying an adorable little yelping baby squirrel in it's mouth, about to eat it, and she still kept feeding them. That was the last straw for me, her husband didn't know about all of this, but after that cat ate that baby squirrel, he did. It wasn't the cats fault, animals are animals with animalistic instincts...as soon as my neighbor quit feeding the cats, it didn't take them long to move on. The birds are back, the squirrels are back, and my car only has pollen on it, not paw prints. I see my neighbor now, and it's very awkward. Do I hate her? No, she's not to fond of me anymore. And the day I let my dog climb all over her car, and eat all the baby wildlife in the area, then I'll be ok with her feeding the stray cats.
We were close at one time, and I try to talk to her, but she's old and she's ornery, she'd definitely be a cat lady if her husband wasn't around lol
Respect the boundaries people!! Hahaha
