Just a few minutes ago

I was sat here with a coffee reading posts, suddenly there was the most awful screaming from a cat, coming from the house behind us. I ran up to the roof and shouted and shouted to the Russian man who is there. He eventually came out and I was shouting to him that the dogs had got a cat. He stumbled off round to the back of the house and all went quiet.

As I came back in hear the younger pit bull began howling, no doubt he´d put the electric collar on it, we can always tell when they use that.

I´m sure Pummy will be pleased, these dogs have had two cats in the past month. The screaming from the cats is horrendous.

We no longer get the dogs throwing themselves at us from the fence between us at the back of the house. A few months ago the "owner" of the dogs was here and I had a real go at him. He gave me quite a lot of "bull", but I don´t work that way, I simply told him that the very next time those dogs came near the fence I would immediately call the police, "they won´t come" he said, "the dogs are on private property". Oh but if I mention drugs they´ll be sure to come I told him. Next day the dogs had been penned at the front of the house and haven´t been near the fence which is between us at the back of our house since.

The younger dog has also escaped two or three times, but always manages to be back in it´s own place before the police arrive. Then there is nothing the police can do, the old guy hides inside and pretends nobody is there and the police can´t go into property as and when they feel like it without good cause, plus of course 2 pit bulls running loose at the only way in.

No doubt when one of the dogs has killed or injured someone something will be done.

That's terrible, no matter what anyone thinks of cats they can't surely think this is good

Re: Just a few minutes ago

That's horrific . It must be awful to have to put up with that .

Re: Just a few minutes ago

I find it dreadfully upsetting, the screaming of a terrified cat being torn apart is horrible. It will be in my mind for a long long time.

Re: Just a few minutes ago

That sounds really horrible, your nerves must be shattered clumsy

Re: Just a few minutes ago

It´s most certainly upset me Ambre, to hear that screaming was horrendous and not being able to do anything is awful.

We are getting feral cats around recently, this is mainly due I think to a Norwegian woman who feeds them. It is illegal here to put food for cats out on the street, but this woman feeds them in her garden, so we are getting more and more of them. The woman tries to trap them and take them to be neutered, but I think they are too clever for her. Now we are seeing mother cats moving kittens from place to place and more and more cats arriving. I think it´s past time the administrators had a word with her.

I imagine the older cats are wiser to dogs and stay clear, but the younger ones most likely won´t be. We´ve never had this problem before, only since Kate (the Norwegian woman) has started feeding them.

Thanks for your replies everyone. It was truly upsetting to hear, nothing like the cat fights we hear now and then, it was pure terror, horrible.

Re: Just a few minutes ago

I think someone needs to have a few kind words with the Norwegian lady Clumsy ,just to gently point out that if she is a cat lover then feeding them and attracting more and more isnt helping the problem ,surely she would be horrified to know about cats being torn to pieces and wouldnt ever want to be contributing to that awful end for some of the cats she mistakenly thinks she's helping

Re: Just a few minutes ago

Surely a case for some poisoned meat thrown over the fence?

Not that you'd have been responsible for that, of course!

I would.

Re: Just a few minutes ago

I can't imagine clumsy being so nasty as to do that.
