Re: Guard cat

Hi Wendy, That Pepper is quite the cat!  Did you tell him how proud you are of him, and that he should always tell you when there's someone lurking?  I'd go one step further in notifying the neighborhood...  Why don't you print up fliers to attach to utility poles and places that will easily be seen.  Something about the prowler and that the neighborhood is wise to him.  I'm thinking if the guy sees all the fliers and knows that everyone is on the look-out for him, he might just knock it off.  This could be a very dangerous situation.  If I were the parent of that little girl, I'd be sleeping in her room for a while!  Cats can be good at alerting us, but dogs are better deterrents, they should get themselves a dog for their little girl.

My husband wanted to go out and catch the guy but I told him if the guy had a gun, that wouldn't be too smart. The police came out twice for my neighbor too, but said the same thing. I am going to notify all my neighbors this afternoon to be on the lookout. --- "Wolf, Leah R." <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Wendy, I do hope that you have notified the police.

This morning I was up at 5:30 am supervising my nephew while he finished his math homework. My black cat, Pepper, jumped up on the bay window seat in the dining area and started pawing at the south window. I went over to her and wrapped my arms around her and started telling her how cute she was. I didn't bother to look out the window. Pepper usually does that on a lower window if she sees another cat, but this time, the window was up high. The next thing I know, my husband walked in and said "Were you just outside?" and I said "no, why?". He said, "Are you sure you weren't just outside?" and I said "no". He said that someone was sneaking past the bathroom window, which is frosted, towards the dining area windows. He thought it was me playing a trick on him, so he tapped on the window, and whoever it was, ran off. That's when he came to see if it was me. We live in a quiet neighborhood, but my neighbor down the street said that he's had to replace PVC pipe for his sprinkler system twice in the past week because someone was stepping on it and crushed it. The pipe is right in front of his daughter's window and when he repaired it the second time, he noticed that there was a crack in her blinds where someone could see in. So I guess we have a pervert hanging around, or living in, our neighborhood unfortunately. But I thought it was really cool that Pepper tried to tell me the way she did. Talk about animal communication! Cats are so awesome! __________________________________ Yahoo! Mail - PC Magazine Editors' Choice 2005 http://mail.yahoo.com __________________________________ Yahoo!
