I hate cats, and I really hate New Orleans

I really hate New Orleans, because I think I now have a cat because of this place. I go outside tonight to let the dogs do their business. There is this pitiful looking skinny black cat...well, actually it's more of a big kitten. I tried to shoo it away. It ran into the hot water heater shelter in the back of Skunk's house. From the way it wedged itself between the two heaters I could tell it was a habit. It's keeping warm tonight the best way it can, I guess. I little later, I go to take out the trash. The cat tries to get in the house. Well, the city is gross and full of strays and rats and I can't let it in, but it breaks my heart to leave it outside on such a cold night. I put out a little dog food for the cat, and he came and ate it without a moment's hesitation. And now I can't stop thinking about that poor little cat.

Still no sign of the cat, but three of the four roosters are crowing. I'm afraid the neighbors are going to pull a Mermaid Dad soon. It's not even dawn!

Probably not. ;-) Hey, do you know if they open Disney at this hour? If you really want to be entertained, we could go really early and feed the rat. :lol:

That's right. She's one lucky dancing chicken.Probably quite nicely decorated for the holidays.

Punzy, here's your chance. You could bring them to IBD's house while she is away. :lol:

It happened. Three roosters have been murdered and/or kidnapped for cockfighting training purposes. See title of thread. :(

If you can catch it...bring it to Grayton...along with the Red Bar we feed a dozen or more cats...mostly black!:welcome: We'll get it fixed at Kindness Pet Hospital.

Oh, bless you! I think he is still hanging around down there. I'll alert Skunky.

And for the record, I don't hate New Orleans. I love the city, I hate how it feels to live there right now. I hate that an apartment that Skunky had on his list when he had to find a new place to live on 10 days notice back in August was rented to another couple...and that couple had a knock on their door at the crack of dawn Friday and when they opened it the guy shot the wife dead immediately, tried to rob the husband, then shot him three times as he held their baby. It terrifies me to think how easily that could have been me or Skunky. I hate the murders, the sadness and stress written on every face, the communal anxiety. And even as I write this, I feel terrible because I know it might keep someone from visiting, and that is the best way to make things better sooner.

And I hate that something terrible happened to Big Rooster, Junior, and Dumb Rooster (so named because he'd bolt for the house if the door was opened, while the other chickens actually looked for cars before crossing).

Punzey...I read that story in the paper and it stopped me cold. You and Skunky were the first people I thought of. :(

Your story reminds me of how easily it is to forget the problems of that city. Maybe toursim will increase and crime will decrease. Glad you are safe.

I did take out the trash! Can somebody please explain how I have 2 dogs, and at least 8 chickens to look after? We do not need a cat:bang: Maybe I will bring it to a place where it is needed, like outside Bud and Alley's:lol: Anybody need some roosters or hens?
The cat should take care of your chicken problem.

Its a known fact that everyone who owned a cat in 1871 has died. Coincidence?...I think not!

Actually, the roosters eat the cat food...those cats don't want to have ANYTHING to do with what look to me to be about three inch spurs:lol:
