The crazy things we sometimes do!!!",<br>"body":"<html>\n<p><strong>Most reader's of my blog will know by now we have four pet cats,<br> and sadly no dog since our last dog was tragically run over in the driveway a few months ago. This has led to many problems with neighbourhood cats coming into our home,<br> bullying our soft natured cats,<br> and stealing their food.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img src=\"https:\/\/s31.postimg.cc\/7kq2qpsbf\/20180508_071635.jpg\" width=\"1280\" height=\"764\"\/><\/p>\n<p>The food theft I can handle,<br> but these cats seem to actively taunt and even attack my cats. We have removed 3 cats over the years,<br> who proved to be real terrors,<br> by trapping them and driving them to another town!!! These cats were very wild,<br> and one person who caught one of them got a very deep and nasty scratch which became infected. Usually we have to bundle them up in blankets.<\/p>\n<p><img src=\"https:\/\/s31.postimg.cc\/4qmxd9apn\/20180508_071504.jpg\" width=\"976\" height=\"696\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Over the last couple of weeks we have noticed a new cat hanging around inside and outside our home. The other day he was chilling on the couch! While my cats are not exactly over the moon about this,<br> they are not as upset as they usually are. BUT there is one major problem. The cat is a male and is spraying urine inside my house to mark <em>his <\/em>territory. This is one of the worst smells ever.<\/p>\n<p><img src=\"https:\/\/s31.postimg.cc\/4qmxd9xuz\/20180508_071637.jpg\" width=\"1169\" height=\"768\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Last night we decided we had had enough,<br> and easily managed to trap the cat in the kitchen. This morning I went to catch him,<br> and managed to pick him up without a fuss,<br> he even purred! As my husband brought the crate into which we would put the cat in for removal,<br> I told him I couldn't do it. This cat wasn't anything like the wild terrorists we have previously trapped. We decided to write a note and attach it to his collar,<br> asking the owner's to please neuter him as he was spraying inside our house!!! (Afterwards I thought they might not understand the word <em>neuter,<br> <\/em>so I added <em>sterilise!<\/em>)<\/p>\n<p><img src=\"https:\/\/s31.postimg.cc\/f0pcci8az\/20180508_071511.jpg\" width=\"842\" height=\"745\"\/><\/p>\n<p><em>(These pictures are of Andy & Smokey in my bed this morning. The photos are so close-up as they were right up literally in my face. All four of my cats have been sterilised.)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>I don't know if this will help at all,<br> I really hope it does. It is so vital for people to sterilise their animals as it makes those animals lives much safer,<br> as they are not so tempted to roam. I'm going to google a few methods to deter cats from spraying in my home,<br> and if anyone has any suggestions I would be very grateful. I would have liked to see the owner's faces when their cat came home with a note attached to his collar though!!!<\/p>\n<h2><strong>@onetree<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><img src=\"https:\/\/s31.postimg.cc\/4dvj6r023\/Thank_you_for_visiting_1.jpg\" width=\"1024\" height=\"512\"\/><\/p>\n<p><br><\/p>\n<\/html>",<br>"json_metadata":" \"tags\":[\"writing\",<br>\"photography\",<br>\"cat\",<br>\"crazy\",<br>\"story\" ,<br>\"users\":[\"onetree\" ,<br>\"image\":[\"https:\/\/s31.postimg.cc\/7kq2qpsbf\/20180508_071635.jpg\",<br>\"https:\/\/s31.postimg.cc\/4qmxd9apn\/20180508_071504.jpg\",<br>\"https:\/\/s31.postimg.cc\/4qmxd9xuz\/20180508_071637.jpg\",<br>\"https:\/\/s31.postimg.cc\/f0pcci8az\/20180508_071511.jpg\",<br>\"https:\/\/s31.postimg.cc\/4dvj6r023\/Thank_you_for_visiting_1.jpg\" ,<br>\"app\":\"steemit\/0.1\",<br>\"format\":\"html\" " |
