I have been feeding some ferals at the convienence store/ Grandy's,
there is a rode that makes a curve directly behind this establishment.
on the other side of this rode is an abandon shack, where I had noticed
a baby kitten coming from, so after I leave food for the dumpster cats,
I drive back there on the rode, and leave some wet food for that lil' kitty,
so he doesn't have to cross the rode, plus the stores back parking lot, is where diesels get gas, and quite a few stay parked there for the night. I just didn't want him to get run over. plus i want him, he is all gray and kinda
furry! so precious!!but wild, so having time on my hands, i was feeding him separately. OK NOW THAT I HAVE TOLD YOU ALL THAT PART......
There is a man whose shop is back on that rode, about 150 ft. away from where i have been feeding that lil' baby, he has never bothered to come talk to me, to see what I'm doing, or even acknowledge me at all! Yesterday after I dropped off Jace, I turned on the rode before the store which goes to our local Airport, and the curved rode that goes behind it! I looked up and I saw
chasing a cat(who by the way looks like GiGi, but intack male) I thought what was that or is that chasing that cat, is it a squirrel? it was a baby kitten, who was so dirty , and wet, freezing , it was so cold and windy yesterday....well of course I stopped and got out talking my kitty talk and left some food, I know I stayed there trying to coherse it , with no luck, the whole time I know I have got to get it to the vet, and I am worried and heartfilled sick! I thought I'll go get my trap and see if it wouldn't go in it, I fell in love immediately, and just assume take him to my house to live.
so I did that, put the trap under the tree also. I left food in it, and went home to take a shower and get ready...before i went to get Jace I stopped by there to check on it, i had put a flannel sheet around it just in case she
did go in it so she wouldn't be as cold, I could see that the sheet was off and laying on the ground, the door of the trap was shut, but no cat, the kitten was laying asleep over in the sun. and I saw a note on the top of the cage. I decided to turn around and pick up Jace first and when I got to the end of the street, a policeman was turning in on that rode, and motioned for me to stay there, surprised I did , I still was not realizing what was about to happen. he told me that Bill E----- had called and filed a report on some lady trapping all the cats and 2 of his were missing and what was I doing with the cats after I trapped them.
I have been feeding them. he said, you need to call the chief of police, he wants to talk to you and so does the animal control guy, said he was worried about something? WHAT????? i said what is the number to the station ,I will call Mike, ( we went to HG together, the chief) he gave me the #. Then he wanted to ask me all my information, name. asked if I still did Hair, and if I still lived out there---on the road I live on , said the man had filed a report, I couldn't believe this was going on , so i called the chief, told him what I was doing and he said , Monique , I know you , you are fine, so continue with what you were doing!
He let me go, and I went to pick up Jace , we go back to try to get the kitten , meanwhile i notice a man(that i also know )drove by twice, then he stopped and got out looking very considered, I had just about enough of Mayberry,when he says, "are you trapping cats?: well I am just trying to get this lil baby that is all, it is freezing, looks to be wet, and looks to have been in oil or something ." he says "what are you going to do with it if you trap it?" I looked at him and " I said "I'm going to EAT THEM!" very cockyI thought 'you idiot' I said 'Tevis, it's monique f-------,and he looked
at me and said , OMG Monique is that you! Then we started talking and about that time, i looked up and 2 cop cars are pulling up right beside me..
then i started getting pissed!!!This has gone a bit to far!! They get out of their cars,looking just like Barney, started in on me again, I said all I am doing is try to catch a wild lkitten, etc. I could not believe the ignorance.
sorry this is so long.....well the guy that lives on the end of the curved rode, behind the store,is the one who called the cops on me. I have never had the cops called on me, and ya'll should have seen my son, bless his heart!! Standing right beside me, never flinched! The idiot that called , well anyway.
I told them I had permission to be there and dispatch called him on his radio and the chief told them to leave me alone. that I was fine, so they leave.
I decide to go to talk to the man, to get it worked out! I pulled up , on that rode, and just step out of my car with only one foot on the ground, he turned and looked at me, I said, "have you lost your cats?" he said hatefully,
Yes i have! I told him I would be glad to look out for them. And that is when he went off on me
he said, I don't care what your story is, lady! I don't ever want to catch you on this rode again and if you step ft, on my property, I'll shoot you!"
he started walking away from me! Can you believe this crap???? I certainly couldn't!!! This werido, is mad at me for 0reason. I have not done anything to him, all that they told me was he saw me with my trap, assumed I had been trapping cats, his 2 cats have been missing and i guess he thinks I trapped them and got them! ( and sold them in the underground!!???
much anymore! And I can say this....I am on my way back down there to feed those straving cats, and I just dare him to do something to me! I might be kind of cocky too, but he doesn't scare me!! I can't stand someone who just assumes everything, and that is it.....comes to their own conclusion,
and thats it! end of story!!!! I didn't even know he had cats, and if he cared about cats at all, he would of had some kind of understanding , if curious, come ask me ..... he never approached me and I have been feeding there
since or right before my GiGi went missing, 1 1/2 mos. ago! eerrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!
I can't tell you how long it's been since I felt that angry, especially toward someone I don't even know!! And needless to say my poor lil' baby was gone
by the time I could get back over there to her!! and she wasn't there any today when I went back!! That is what makes me mad
OK! I'm done now!
