Now I have been feeding a STRAY.......for 3 months, he stays within 3 houses, he is there several times a day for food.............but I cannot get five feet close to him..........or I would have brought him inside.
Today, the cat is no where in sight..........its not a misunderstanding, this cat was always there.....I know it has been poisoned as well.
We were just building an insulated house for the winter for him...............I am so upset!:-1
Can I call the old bat out?
When you say the cat was poisoned and found dead I need to ask if someone did an autopsy on this cat and proved it was poisoned? Tons of stray cats that have no water will lick the ground and think it's water. Some cars leak antifeeze or other strays will drink from filthy mud puddles both of which could kill a cat. The elderly neighbor could be afraid of cats or didn't want it begging for food on her property and yelled at it to go away. Not all people like cats and it's sad that this cat died. Feeding feral cats only make more feral cats. The humane thing to do is call in Animal Control to "catch and trap" these cats. Some of these cats carry disease and if bitten by one could cause the person bitten to have to undergo testing for rabies. As an Animal Control Officer I can tell you it's sad but you have no proof what-so-ever this elderly woman did anything wrong.
