Just needing to vent to my other kitty buddies...
My old neighbour (late 80s) has recently got a rescued pup, it barks and cries all day long and she tells it off all day long.
We both have mature foliage gardens with fences of chainlink and/or wood panels around so can't even see into each others gardens etc.
Anyway, I put my cats out while I made sausage sarnies as my lil minxes like to try to steal
They were sat in the lobby on the stools awaiting to be let in when I noticed one of my kitties fall on the floor followed by a massive commotion of my cats all fighting and a dogs bark....
I flew for the backdoor, forgetting I had locked it, slipped my hand off from pulling so hard and smashed my forehead on the wall cupboard corner.. Ouch, dent in forehead!!
I manage to get the door open and went to run outside but was met with my neighbours snapping pup going mental with excitement, he then spotted one of my cats trying to escape and gave chase.. I was just shouting dooooooooggg!!
I don't even know the lil gits name to call it off tho I could hear the neighbours screaming for it outside my house and from their garden
(There is a 6in gap running down between my shed and their fence)
I run back in and opened the back windows to enable my cats to get in if they tried running again but the bloody dog was bouncing up to the windows while running about barking.
My old neighbour started pounding my door so I let her in n she went out back but she couldn't catch her dog so even knowing it snaps I managed to grab him, pick him up and get him through my house out to the front garden where the rest of their family were still shouting his name.
It comes out that her dog had chewed through the fence over the last few weeks, she'd known this and bought new fence panels but none of her family will fit them - she lives alone, family live very very close and visit daily just to sit in her garden etc.
When all had calmed down my kitties started coming out of their hidey holes.. The first one run out of the shed covered completely in cobwebs and old flywings (baulk) and was faced with a very pleased 5yro suddenly change into a screaming banshee and she turned and run again, I had to plonk the screaming kid into another room to deal with the cobweb image herself as my kitties needed me more right then..lol.
Lula came in first and I managed to de-web and wing her, closely followed by Tilly (the Kittie who fell on the dog) and Cici..
two of my kitties had messed themselves, I know its a self defense mechanism but maaaan its rank!!
They are still hypersensitive to movement and noise but chilling out a bit now..
Poor babies most deff struck off one of their nine lives today!!
