Well the neighbor did it. :(

[PayItForward]

Rest in peace little stray

I hope you find a way to slow that inconsiderate lady

Good Luck

[RICHARD]

put a kink in the road....

Pour some cement around some steel posts and either-

Narrow the drive with posts on either side or
Put an 'S' or chicane in....


That way she can still see her dad and has to slow down.

You still allow access but keep her speed down.

[leslie flenner]

What's a chicane? is there no way you can take her to court for killing your pet? She was not driving within the speed limit which is probably 5 miles an hour in the lane... I'm stretching probably but... After reading Richard's post about how easy it is to sue....(it's worth considering?)

2 a : an obstacle on a racecourse b : a series of tight turns in opposite directions in an otherwise straight stretch of a road-racing course

It's an "s" in a straight piece of road....usually it's put on a race course to slow the speed down...

Divide the road length into thirds....put one pole on each side of the first and second thirds.....that way she cannot speed the length of the road. You also can make the pole removable, with a bolt and padlock on the bottom so larger vehicles can go down the road....like a moving van...

aside from having aliens take her, this is the best course so to speak. And if aliens do take her, well, all of our questions will be answered. Sorry I'm a bit off and easily ired by these idiots who kill pets and offer nothing...they SHould be abducted.

I am so sorry to hear about your cat! This lady is an idiot and you are being FAR to nice. I'd make her life a living hell. How about calling the cops and putting in a complaint of her speeding. Let them know that she hit your cat. They may just set a speed trap to catch her.

As far as using her father as an excuse, horse puckies!! She still should be obeying the rules of the road. Jerk!!

[leslie flenner]

yeah! absoluetly everthing moosmom said! yeah!

[catnapper]

I am so sorry! Life is life and it doesn't matter if its something adopted or something that comes by. She should be ashamed of herself.

I wish you luck in whatever plan you enact to get her to slow down.

I love it. Some times it takes a mans mind to come up with the best ideas. And I even have some steel posts around here so all I need is the cement. Let her speed past them. lol

Maybe everybody but me knows this but hubby and I discovered that you can use cement without even mixing it - bags of the redi-crete dry mix, poured into a hole with the post and cover with some dirt, then water the hole it is all in and the ground sucks out the extra water and the pole is cemented in place! Cool! Our privacy fence has been up several years now and nice and sturdy!

Thank you every one for the support and idea's.

About calling the cops on her, my friend is a cop, so I did talk to him about it. Of course I knew what he'd say, that because they are running free in a road, there's not much I can do. He did go down and talk to her for me, hoping that a talk from a officer might make her think a little harder next time she speeds down the lane. Like he told her, it could one day be a person standing there and then what will her excuse be. He asked her how she felt about jails.

I do feel so angry about what little respect she has for me or my babies and so bad I want to go down there and give her H#$l, but what good would it do me, I might just make more problems for me. I have a felling she the type that will get revenage. She what we here call a true back hills redneck, the type the feels naked with out her gun straped in her car and a knife in her pocket. No disrespect to any one, it's just a different life style then I'm from. Guns and knifes are not clothing accessories to me. I carry a purse.

So sorry to hear that your worst fears happened. I thought since we'd heard nothing more the situation had cured it's self. The kinks and acattle gaurd sound like a good combanation to have.
to make a speed bump you can buy the bull rails like in the parking lots,but she'd probley just make a new track around it.
big boulders set in the road make good kinks too.

I know the type Fox-Gal. Back years and years ago, when I was young and dating (hard to remember back that far), I went on a double date with my then boyfriend, and his sister and her boyfriend. Kays boyfriend was driving, and he seen a cat in the road, and actually swerved the car to trya and hit the cat. I screamed bloody murder. I did not go on anymore double dates with them again.

Its just that some of these people just has no respect whatsoever for life. I hope she comes back in her next life as a mouse living wild and lives in a house with a nice cat that is a very good hunter! I'm really not kidding, hope she does!!!

Willie

P.S. It really is good to have you back here with us.

And please don't anyone say anything about the fact that I have cats OUTSIDE, I couldn't take that right now and don't need it. I've done the best I can for the strays around here, I catch them, get them fixed and care for them the best I can, just some of them, refuse to become house cats. It's a shame that I even felt I had to add this.

NO WAY, NEVER!!!!

You do more for them than anyone ............. you have such a good heart to do what you are doing!

As for the speeding neighbour .......... YUP, lets see how she feels speeding to her sick father when she knocks a person down!!!

Oh yes what a wonderful though, her as a mouse and I hope it's one of my strays that gets her.


P.S. Willie, it's nice to know that someone missed me. Thanks
Also I'm sorry about that virus, I didn't mean to do that to your mouse. LOL Poor mouse, it's just a shell of what it use to be.

NO WAY, NEVER!!!!

Thank you captain, for that.
I just know that there are some here who belive in indoor cats, only or taking the strays into a shelter and I couldn't handle any grief right now, I'm going through so much right now. So I just felt it was better to say that right out front, before any comments might come up. Save that for when I'm feeling better, I'll be more up to defending my reasons then.
