Hi, Megan
This cat was reported missing on the BB sometime back, I saw it in my yard shortly before leaving for work one morning, tried to catch it to return it to its owner, but it ran away. I posted that I saw it to give the owner some hope that it was still alive.
A month ago I was sitting outside watching my nesting flycatcher's and the cat was stalking them, crouched low and was ready to pounce when I scared it off.
This morning, said cat was crouched low in the grass and stalking something, couldn't see what, so I scared it off.
Cats put a severe dent in bird populations, google it.
Between the dogs and cats, it's a principled thing, some folks don't seem to care about their neighbors.
The majority of responsible pet owners in town go to great lengths to keeps their pets under control, there are a few that don't and all they can do is issue halfhearted apologies, BS excuses, gaslight the topic, put the onus on their neighbors and state that they'll try harder.
In the last year and a half, the dogs have exponentially become worse.
