Hello,
oh boy, what have I started here...
What was seen on the camera today? Was there another pile of poop?
I haven’t checked the camera this morning yet, but again there was no pile of poop. Bigfoot seems not to like our outdoor lighting (visible in the avatar picture). It would of course be perfect if the problem could be solved that easily.
Following Steven’s advice, I ordered a wildlife camera yesterday, let’s see what ends up in the photo trap.
So it’s still not clear whether it’s the neighbor’s cat or the Yeti and whether he/she/it will come back at all. You can still let your general murder plans mature a bit...
Of course, I’m happy to receive blueprints for thermonuclear cat extermination bombs via private message...
By the way:
Guys, I didn’t want to start a fundamental discussion "cats or other critters against the rest of the world," that is hopeless anyway. For 99.9% of all pet owners (whether dog, cat, horse, hamster, or goldfish) their animal is the dearest thing in the world, does nothing, makes no noise, doesn’t poop, doesn’t stink, doesn’t eat or bite anyone, and by the way, everyone is a really bad person who doesn’t find their beloved pet totally great.
Tolerance towards the creature is always demanded, but at the same time, it is not tolerated that other people don’t like having piles on their lawn, don’t like being licked randomly, and don’t want to be trampled over.
That an animal is always a personal hobby and that with one’s hobby (whatever it is) one shouldn’t bother other people is unfortunately often forgotten. The personal right to free development must have limits where I disturb, restrict, or even harm other people with it. Very few people would think of playing the trumpet in the garden at 2:00 a.m.
Come to think of it, even smokers have been/more considerate...
And no, I am not generally hostile to animals, I married a horse owner! But we don’t let the horse poop in other people’s gardens.
Best regards,
Andreas
