Our old friend Carpetblogger has yet another great tale to tell, this time about the struggle between her dogs and the neighbourhood cats [story is SFW but has graphic descriptions of animal-on-animal violence that some may find disturbing].
The day I moved in, the Carpetdogs went batshit insane at 4am, which pretty much took seven years off my life. An orange tomcat had entered through a window I will never leave open again. I ran downstairs to see it flying through the air five feet above my head, looking for a ceiling escape hatch, like a feline Jack Bauer. It wedged itself in a window and wouldn’t exit via the door or other open windows, no matter how much I poked it with a stick and the dogs barked their heads off. Now my entryway smells like cat pee.
Aside from being funny, this story is also interesting for me because we have an issue with stray cats in Antalya, also. However, as most of the housing around these parts is of a high-rise nature, It never occurred to me that people who live on the ground floor might have to keep their windows closed due to potential cat infestation. I hope Carpetblogger has an air-conditioner— we don’t have one in our home, and with the temperatures up in the 40s, I can’t imagine not being able to open the windows. I look forward to hearing the updates to the Carpetdogs’ personal war on terror. Link
