No More food for the Ferals

Well the Wicked "Bitch" of the West got her way. The woman (and I use the term loosely) finally got her way. For three years now I have been the care taker for a colony of feral cats. Because of myself and my friends this colony of six has remained a colony of six because as animal lovers we did the responsible thing and had then trapped and Spay/Neutered and released. Otherwise they would have been a colony of about 80 by now. But the wicked old woman upstairs has nothing better to do but complain that she doesn't like cats and claims that they are coming up her stairwell and "Mating" this is ridiculous. Last spring her complain that the humming birds that came to my feeder were in fact attacking her. She started complaining again Saturday morning. I am still dealing with the death of my son and my wife is terribly ill and I just didn't want to hear it. I said Whatever and went back inside my apt. The next time I came out she began to shout(Mind you these words are coming out of the mouth of a 64 year old).
FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU. YOU PREGNANT WHITE BITCH(she's black) I hate Fucking white people any way. FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU, You done messed wit da wrong N_ _ _ er. I promptly reported this via email to my manager. Then Tuesday morning I received Three day notice to comply . Refrain from feeding stray cats and or providing shelter for same or face eviction.

She received one as well. I don't know what hers said but it must have been something along the lines of "Get along or get out". A few hours later she came to my door. My bro-in law answered the door and said (her name) wants to talk to you. I looked up and said "I have nothing to say to you. At which point she said " I just want to apologize. So I figured OK if that will be the end of it. But the thing is she claims she didn't say those things or at least doesn't remember saying them. Then why apologize. She said she heard me call her names which I didn't. I admitted in the email that I did in fact tell her to "Go Back to the BAT CAVE" and shut up. The amazing thing about this whole mess is that the cats go no where near her apt. 4 of them stay in the bushes behind the complex and that's where they get fed. Two of them adopted my patio. They ate and slept in their beds and that is all. They hurt nor bothered no one.

God bless the Feral Cat society. I called the hot line and told the that this colony no longer has a care take and why. The very next morning there was a woman here in a van early placing food in a inconspicuous location. I fed these cats for three years without missing a day and it is breaking my heart to have to shoo them away from my patio.

Now this same woman is going around the complex claiming I was the one using the racial slurs, such as making reference to Watermelons and throwing down with the N- word. None of which are true. I wouldn't do that. Seems like she just can't stop running her mouth. Her own family(who rarely visit her)Told not to trust her. Looks like I better try and find a place to move because the tension here is so thick you could cut it with a knife. Although my health will make that nearly impossible. It could infact hasten my demise. I am just not physically capable of another move. Arthritis, emphysema, Osteoperosis , and degenerative spine condition make it hard for me to do a lot of heavey Physical work. I want to go "Over the Rainbow" Where's a Twister when you need one?
