Maybe she thought her cat had eaten a baggie of meth? How the heck do you "strap down" a cat with jumper cables?
Introduce her to the cats in your neighborhood? She would be more than welcome to hang out near my house. Cats belong inside, not shitting in my yard.
I have a feeling that shortly after she got the cats to stop shitting on your lawn, she would start dropping duces.
Man, I can't stand house cats, but I like the neighborhood cats that come into my yard, because they handle the chipmunks, squirrels, moles, etc. and keep away the raccoons and opossums that are all around this area. It's like a necessary evil...
It's one of those things I never really noticed until I had a neighbor move in a with some cats. Chipmunks used to fuck with my yard, raccoons used to live in my garage/shed area, and we'd see opossums lurking a little too comfortably, early in the daytime. Since the cats are on the block... no more problems. I always hated domesticated cats, but I was actually just watching one of the cats today, rolling through my yard, and it had a lion-esque stance to it, like it was just looking for some prey. I'm not sure if my neighbor underfeeds it, or if that's just the cat's nature, but whatever it is, I love that site. It's almost like my neighbor is paying for my pest control by having cats.
A well-fed cat kills for the pleasure. I've seen a cat catch a bird outside and when I yelled at him to let it go, he twisted his neck first to kill him. Another time, a cat cornered a mouse and instead of killing him fast, tortured him by knocking him around with his claw while the mouse squealed in pain and ran back and forth. I had to put the mouse out of his suffering and all I had was a rolled-up newspaper. You ever seen a mouse's face when he wrenches up his face while you keep hitting him? Looks just like a human face. I once watched a cat play a joke on another cat. He sneaked on him and scared the hell out of him.
