There's dramatic, there's over dramatic, and then there's this crazy Karen who takes drama and turns it into a feline fiasco.

Imagine disliking someone and there they are, just calmly taking their cat for a walk around the neighborhood, like they always do. Some cats just like to be outside, and it's our responsibility to make sure that they can be fulfilled, but also safely. So, leashed walks it is. They're just strolling and scrolling, minding their own business, when an entitled mom decides that she will never allow such a thing to happen in her neighborhood.

Her daughter wants to pet the cat, but she immediately pulls her daughter back and claims the cat bit her. She then goes on to make a big fuss, promising to call the health department, and even stooping so low as to call the cat nasty names. The cat didn't bite her, or at least, the pawrent didn't see it. She does end up calling someone, claiming a wild animal bit her, and guess what? No one comes. As a purrfect retribution of karma, no one cares what this clearly crazy woman has to say.

From this story, we can learn two very impurrtant lessons. One, always make sure your cats are supervised when going outside, and two, some people just like to complain and make noise. Let them make their noise, because you probably won't have much luck reasoning with them. Protect your peace, and more impurrtantly, your cats.

    So today, I was walking down the street with my cat on a leash, she is an outdoor cat and she likes to go on walks (I know crazy), and we see my neighbor, now known as EN, walking with her autistic daughter.

    EN: Your "cat" just bit me! She said even though my cat doesn't bite, there was to mark, and I saw no blood anywhere.

  • You know if a cat bites you. Cats don't hold back when they are really upset. Although there is a chance that it actually did happen, we highly doubt it. Cats don't just bite people for no reason, and they usually give at least a warning hiss before. This woman seems like the type of purrson who asks for her drink order with no ice so she can get more drinks without paying extra.

    EN: GET THAT WILD ANIMAL AWAY FROM ME NOW! Me: Firstly, this is a domestic outdoor cat, secondly, my cat has never bitten anyone and is a sweetheart.

    EN: Well, she bit me, I am going to file a report to the local heath department, and I'm going to get your cat taken away!
    via Le_Phoenix_Friez

    Me: Ma'am I have tried to be respectful, but my cat doesn't bite, if you did actually get bit or scratched you should go and wash it out.
    via Le_Phoenix_Friez

    EN: This neighborhood isn't safe with that cat around. Its a devil! She made a call to the local heath department and said something about a serious wild animal bite, I listened in, and once I got my info, I left.

    Now I'm waiting to see if the people are actually going to come and take my cat away after I just got her back.

    FairyFartDaydreams I think you might need to make kitty and indoor cat if you don't want to see her come to an unfortunate end. Walk her daily but make sure she is inside if you are not outdoors with her. Maybe build a cattery

  • Catios are great. And the best part is that you can even order them on Amazon now! They come disassembled, but you can build it in less than a day. Our cats love theirs. It's a safe way for them to be outside without any fear of something going wrong.

    Hiragirin I suggest you make your cat an indoor cat and just take it on leashed walks unless you want to risk the lady doing something worse. That's how my friend lost their cat. Their cat was also friendly, which meant it was easily lured. Don't let that happen, Op.

    Cherryminion I just read the first half with your lost cat and i'm very happy that you found her! Also what's wrong with this neighbor? Most cats don't bite directly, especially most cats that come to you on the street and want to be pet. I never got bitten by any of them. Also even if she was bitten it's just a small cat bite? As long as it's not a stray cat nothing will happen. Did your neighbor even pet your cat? It sounded like only the daughter was petting your cat.

    insomniaczombiex She sounds potentially dangerous. I'd keep your kitty inside because there's no telling what this wackadoodle will do.

    bexdporlap There is something wrong with that woman. How dare you walk around your own neighborhood. I feel bad for her daughter. I am glad you got your cat back. Be careful around that neighbor.

    Capelily I feel sorry for the daughter. She's got no chance with a mother like that.

    vkscp Make it clear that unless she has detailed information, such as photos and a report from the hospital that shows treatment for an animal attack (and it is signed clearly by a doctor that can be contacted), she has no case.

    Also make it clear that your cat was missing and what happened when you were looking for her. Then tell them that her autistic daughter petted your cat happily until her mother threw out accusations!

    Have all your kitties vet records handy (if you don't then phone your vet and explain what happened and ask them to email you your cats file so it shows she is well cared for).

    If you take her out, video record your walk with your phone. If anyone says anything about it, you can tell them that you're making a YouTube video about harnessed cats and walking them. Let nice people pet the cat and tell them that you'll edit them out of the "video". That way if you see that crazy bitch again, you have video proof that the cat is not vicious towards anyone.

    If you see her out and about, ignore her. Then if nobody turns up at your door by Wednesday next week, know that she's just trying to be a problem and you can easily deal with that! If you want any help with that then do let me know.
