Cat Scratch Fever

Stardate 5857.65

I hate stray cats. The only cats I hate more than stray cats are other people's cats that spend more time in our yard than their's. Or more to the point, stray cats that the neighbour feeds so they keep coming by. These cats amazingly lived through the winter and will likely continue to flourish so to speak, as the year goes by.

I had mentioned our elderly neighbour before, the fellow that just had a clot in his leg, and he has several or four cats that he likes to feed, even though they aren't really his cats. This is great, but they tend to spend a lot of time in our back yard, and really enjoying crapping in our gardens and digging up our nicely planted bulbs, flowers and veggies.

In reality, I want to kill the offending cats. It is getting very annoying and after all, who wants someone else's (not even) cat crapping in their garden every day? The problem is, I think the cats are one of the few pleasures our neighbour has left. I know he won't take them in the house, and I am loathe to ask him to get rid of them altogether...

Arghhhhh.... any ideas?
