Thank you all for your encouraging words and suggestions. I tried getting copies of the city ordinance for animals but didn’t have enough money at the time. Hope to eventually. Things seem to have calmed down thanks to our neighbors. We’re sharing custody of Stormy the Attack Cat! A few days with us, and a few days with them. What we cat loves will do to protect those fur balls!
We’ve managed to keep him in now for couple days without much trouble. He even left a jumbo tootsie roll in the litter box, which we of course praised him for! We also have taken in Miss Stubby. We call her that because she as the cutest little stub for a tail. We’re not sure if she’s a Manx or if something happened to her. She and Stormy are playful buggers and at first our kids didn’t quite know what to make of him. But it didn’t take long until a few of the younger kids joined in.
To keep things less obvious to the authorities of what we’re doing, we’ve cut back on the amount of food we put out as well as not leaving it out all day and night. If we see that no one’s come around after a period of time we pick it up. Funny, they seem to know when breakfast, dinner and late night snack is! I don’t know if it’s that we’ve trained them, or they’ve trained us. Some how I think it’s the latter! LOL. Also we’re in contact with a wonderful lady in the area who, along with her husband, runs a feral program. She’s been a BIG help.
In talking more with the apt manager it seems the resident who started this mess has caused problems for others over different issues. Management said she lives with her mother who is a sweet lady; they don’t understand what’s with the daughter! Apt maintenance is also aware of her AND Stormy and just shake their heads and chuckle about Stormy the Attack Cat! The darn thing has been known to visit the office for hours to sleep, eat or play, with no complaints from management!
Again, thank you for you input and thoughts! All much appreciated, please keep’em coming!
God Bless!
PS: here are 2 pix of Stubby. One she's playing w/Stormy and the other she's resting. BTW, if you notice in the background of the 2nd pic, there's jewelry hanging. It's handmade/custom made by my roomate and myself. We sell it to help suppliment feeding the kids. I'm hoping to post photos of our work on my 'myspace'. If anyone's interested, I'll let ya know when that is. Thanks.
