A terrible tragedy outside my daughters house yesterday.
The neighbours had a cat. It sat in my daughters front yard all the time and people thought it was hers so much so that when it rained they knocked at her door concerned for the cat..She kept re-directing them but the neighbours took no notice.
Its a busy road opposite the hospital and on a bus route so my daughter kept saying she was worried that the cat would get hit by a vehicle sooner or later. But the neighbours did nothing.
Yesterday a man walking his newly adopted dog on a short lead. As they passed my daughters house the cat was sitting by the gate post the man didnt see it but the dog did and pounced. The cat died of its injuries. My son inlaw ran out and threw water on the dog so it let go of the cat but it was too late.
The neighbours are now weeping and wailing blaming the dog owner.. The dog owner has been very good he stayed around has said he will muzzle his dog from now on and offered to pay cremation costs for the cat. He didnt have to, his dog was on a short lead and was walking on the path so he wasnt breaking any rules.
My daughter and SIL have told the neighbour to shut up and accept that this was their own fault for not listening and allowing such a young and friendly cat to wander the streets day and night.
My daughter has 4 cats of her own and she is very upset by whats happened. My SIL is still not over seeing the young man who killed himself in front of the train a few weeks ago and I think this is only going to add to his stress.
Why are some owners so stupid and uncaring about what happens to their pets?
RIP kitty.
