[QUOTE="Vraille Darkfang, post: 2659613, member: 16989"] Maybe if I just kill it. But, I'm more sure I'm a karmic agent of payback in this case. If I trap the cat, turn it over to the proper authorities, who will then tell her (if the ask who it belongs too, I'll tell them), take the cat over & tell her: "Either show us the regestration & shots record or we take the cat. If you want it, pay for the registration & shots." The bad Karma is the woman who is being an irresponsible pet owner. Not just because it's causing me problems. Their house is right next to a busy road, whcih the cat crosses from time to time. If I wait long enough, Lord Ford or Karmic Chrysler will take care of this problem for me. So, no. I'm not going to just kill the cat. The town's got laws that were put into place for just this very reason. People letting animals roam freely, without concern for damage/trouble they can cause. We spent this summer wathcing a pair of Cardinals raise 2 families at our feeders. At least 4 of those birds were Killed by that cat. The nuthatches & woodpeckers that used to scour our trees for bugs & parasites no longer come, at least 1 nuthatch & 2 woodpeckers were killed by the cat. The chickadees no longer even come. If there is bad karma going around, I'm already on the recieving end of it (delivered by 1 person). Which, if she was willing to woork with me, I WOULDN'T have to EVEN CONSIDER doing something about her cat. Simple as that. I don't want the cat to come to any harm. But, it's not my animal. It's hers. So it's not my responsibility to control/feed/care after, its hers. Think of this as equilibrium. PS. People! Take responsibility for your pets! If you don't want the responsibilities that come with pet ownership, don't get one! [/QUOTE]
