We think she belongs to the house behind us, so I’m gonna put a collar on her with a note tomorrow and see if we get confirmation.
This is the way. We had what we suspected was a neighbor’s cat that used to come visit. She didn’t have a collar, so we bought one and attached a little metal keychain pill holder so we could pass notes to them. It was fun and we got to meet a new neighbor.
“Hello! Why are you shitty and want your cat to destroy the local bird population and then (statistically) have their life cut short? Much love, Your Neighbor”
EDIT: Downvote all you want but these facts are true:
- Cats decimate bird populations when they are loose.
- Indoor cats live longer, healthier lives.
If you love your pets (obviously not talking about barn cats that technically have a job, but housecats), you’ll do what’s best for them.
I doubt anyone here believes that what you stated is untrue. You’re getting downvoted for being a passive-aggressive, melodramatic wet blanket.
Is this you too?
At a child’s birthday party: “What awful parents, providing dessert. Don’t they know childhood obesity and diabetes are on the rise?”
At the pub: “Get your shit together, chronic alcohol consumption doubles your likelihood of stomach and liver cancer.”
With a friend: “Why do you hate yourself? You’re clearly at least 20 pounds overweight. The earth has limited resources, stop using your advantage as a member of the global North and eating other people’s food.”
They’re all true and, like your comment, needlessly needling and hyperbolic. Consider there’s more to communication than your false dichotomy defensive reaction of “true or not”. There’s also appropriate time, place, and tact, all of which you clearly didn’t consider. That’s why you’re getting downvoted.
Yeah I’m secretly hoping for a fun new game to emerge from this. Idk what the rules are yet, but I’m excited to find out.
Somebody just invented the next hallmark movie plotline :)
Though… it does sound like fun. make sure to encode secret messages into portions of the messages. “If you’re reading this you must be very bored” or something.
