Good news!

The two neighbourhood cats have not been abandoned! Their owners were on holiday and thought the cats would be fine.

So they are still arses ...

That Thai restaurant has been a boon to local cats, all those outdoor tables ...

Cats can fend for themselves, but it means they die young and have hard lives. I think that if you are going to take the enjoyment of cat ownership, you are obligated to do the work, too.

These people often expect their neighbours to keep an eye on car thieves who have several times had a go at their ludicrous car. I suspect that goodwill may be significantly lessened in future.

The average life of an outdoor cat here in New England is calculated to be about 2 years.

Is it illegal to wedge small sticks or toothpicks into the air vents of their tyres to flatten them? It's not actually slashing, just depriving the owner of use of the tyre.

I take it by "ludicrous" in reference to their car you mean expensive. So apparently, they could afford the car but not a pet sitter or to board their cats with the vet or something.

And they *expected* the neighbors to take care of them? Why not just ... I don't know ... ASK?!!! Like my friends who have a cat do: they ask a friend who also loves cats and has a key to come in every day and feed the cat, change the water and give him a little love. I imagine she changes the litter too. And they bring the friend a nice gift from their vacation in return. I bet there was at least one neighbor who would have likely been willing to do that for them if they just asked.

And aren't you experiencing a heat wave where the wild animals are dying of thirst right now?
