Both my hubby & I work nights (gone for 12 hours) 3-4 nights a week. I worry about our cats. You see, we have a family next door who has 2 teenage kids who look like they are out of high school now. We come home for lunch on the days we work, and almost every night they are out hanging around their vehicles with a ton of friends. Now, tell me: do you think they know we work nights, or do you think they really don't think of it? I mean, they watch us come home & leave. Of course, we stay up late on our days that we don't work, and I know they see me leaving the house to go get something to eat. I don't know..... I just worry that they might get into our house and hurt the cats and take our stuff. We live in a fairly safe neighborhood... it was build in 1997, and we have lived in there since our house was built in 1997. Plus, the PD is only 2 seconds away from us. I have thought of calling the PD & tellng them we work nights & if they can patrol the neighborhood, but what good would that do? I certainly don't want to start problems. I worry not only about our bengals, but about Fluffy & Cinnamon who are declawed in the front. I really try not to worry.... After all, maybe the kids next door don't even think twice about us.
I just had to let this out, especially since Tuesday's attack. You know it didn't really *affect* me until Tuesday night when we came home from work early.... that is when I got scared..... what if they decide to attack the West Coast next?
