Thanks Maggie............I was so pleased when she said sorry . As you so rightly say her pets will be all the better for it.

Helen.........I will let her know about the rspca offer......thanks.

I thank you all for bolstering me up.............lol

Brilliant news, Amanda - all power to you and great respect for your neighbour for apologising!!
Now (well maybe in 3 months when the hormones have dispersed) she'll actually have loving pet cats - that don't stink of unrestrained testosterone!!!

Well Done Amanda, you stood your ground with her and obviously she has realised the upset it has caused you etc, Happy Ending ?? Lets hope so. xxxx

Amanda, if your neighbour is on benefits RSPCA are neutering and microchipping cats for £5, might be good piece of info to pass on to her as she has so many cats.

Hope you get some peace and cats can live in harmony.

Helen.

Nice to hear of somebody having the grace to apologise. glad it is sorted for you and your cat?

Lol, Merlin , NO, stray managed it all by herself for her own little cat, being the sensible person she is!!

Taff, Don,t tell us you got a Certificate and sent "Stray"to be "Spayed",Is she happy with the result?.**M**.:o)>.pmsl.

all you have to do ask the cats protection legue for a form, they will send it to you, with a cert,. saying "cats" need it" take that to the vets and hey presto, you get it for nothing!!
I know because i done it , Painfull as it was!!! and Straykitten, will bear me out, as the truth!!

Merlin............I had told her about Cat Protection League ,RSPCA etc how they help with the cost but I don't think she wanted to bother before.

I hope that in time she gets all her cats spayed /neutered Lindsey...........it is so sad to see them filling the area with kittens that half the time people get rid of.

I think she was " out of control " and my out burst has made her stop and think.........to be honest people in the neighbourhood have all been grumbling about the amount of cats in the area.

Fingers crossed that Peace will descend.

The thing is theres no excuse to have un nuetered aminals, even if they are on benefits they can get vouchers to have it done free. {while the rest of us have to pay } Glad to hear all is peaceful again !

Amanda,If she contacts the PDSA they will pay for Local Vets to Neuter the Toms and sort out the Queens.Best Wishes.**M**.

I read this when you added thread.

I'm really glad it seems to have all workrd out for you...and the cat's :))

I am glad Shelia...........to be honest I was dithering about yesterday thinking I ought to say sorry , my oh stopped me and I'm glad he did.

The last thing I wanted was a bad atmosphere every time I go out in the garden so I am very happy that she has said sorry first.

Hi Amanda,

Gald it is sorted out now !, bet your glad you stood your ground :O)

At least she had the decency to apoligize, lets hope you can now put this behind you :O)

Mrs has just called me over the garden fence and said how sorry she is for the row and the trouble that her cat has caused me.
I in turn have apologised for using foul language.

George and one of the other "toms" is booked in to have the op. tomorrow..........she plans to get the "others"done in due course.

Thank God for that...........I'm hoping things will quieten down...........and I'm glad we have spoken as I hate a nasty atmosphere.

just seen this, well done amanda, i'm a firm believer in that if they cant controll their animals, they have no hope in controlling their kids......
this couple in middle 80's had 2 weinerammers, lovely big dogs, always roaming the streets... lol the couple had to find new homes for them as they couldnt handle them, i was forever taking them home......... lol, well they have 2 boys now roaming the streets.......... enough said... and no, lucky for me i dont live around there anymore..... just see them when visiting me parents...lol
xxxx

Maggie....I'm glad that the tom that was bothering you has been put off by the water..........lol

The thing with this George is that he isn't top Tom cat in her house anyway..........I think that is why he takes out his frustration on my cats.
I've seen him being confronted by other Toms in the area and he always backs down.......a cowardly boy.........but when it comes to stealth attacks on my bunch he is up for it.

Mrs walked past earlier....nose in the air.
Mind you I think she is keeping ALL her cats shut indoors now.
My oh says I musn't feel bad that I lost my temper with her yesterday........he says " don't you think she has faced this sort of strife before ? "....well yes I believe she has.

Teresa.

Glad you said that about water pistols as I have just been and got one..I have three cats two are only 11 months both girls and have been done, but they have been chased around by a blasted tom from around the corner. they used to be ss loving but now seem to hide..I'll get him one day. my other is a big black tom he has been done, but just sits and watches.....helpful chappie lol.

When my cat was a kitten I was forever taking him to Vets to treat abscesses, where a big old Tom was always duffing him up, and biting him.
Eventually this old Tom was missing, and when he came home, we said to the owner, well what do you expect he is going after She cats, So she had him neutered. My cat then had some peace.

Amanda,

A vet a few years ago offered to neuter all cats in my area, (if I was willing to catch then) for €10 a 'piece'. I was happy to pay. The owner thought and i quote 'the females should put their tails beween their legs!'.... Suffice to say her cats were not neutered, mine got infections ans were put to sleep..... I now have 2 cats and one kitty. The adults are neutered so no babies but if I had my time back again would neuter all of my aunts cats as I caught then and let her complain. I might have my old Zippper back..................

love T.x
