stuckincincy Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 I am only 49. Soon, though, I will be old. 751010[/snapback] That's a good age... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dean Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 He gets free checking pretty soon, and his AARP card. 751018[/snapback] The chances of my living that long are VERY slim. I think the over/under now is at about 6 weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Senator Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 That would be my guess, too (based on the very limited info we have from this article). "Meowing" is hardly harrassment. 751002[/snapback] Yeah - there was a link to a related story that gave a bit more background. I'm also guessing most didn't vote in the poll, or view the results... Poll Damn...I knew I wan't gonna get much done today, what with this whole Pluto thing and all. Anyway, clearly the old wench should be placed in a home - where she can't bother anyone.

ExiledInIllinois Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 The fact is the woman complained and won the removal of the cat. Like it or not... The boy lost (and his cat) and should respect the rule of law. Nothing saying he can't keep a cat in his house or his property... Just can't let it roam. Short article though... Just my $.02.

Just my $.02. 751052[/snapback] I think the family got rid of the cat voluntarily (i don't think there was any law involved), but I could be wrong. Regardless, there is no indication the boy has shown any disrespect for, or has disobeyed ANY law. He is simply "meow"-ing at a nasty old litigious bag. The very fact that she has sued him for MEWOING speaks volumes to The Dean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HereComesTheReignAgain Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 I guess instead of telling the neighbor to get their worthless dirty cat out of her landscaping, she should have just inversted in some d-con and meow mix! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not like an old lady can physically take care of this herself. Without knowing what goes on between the nieghbors, it is pretty irresponsible to call her a B word! I've seen many little kids take advantage of the fact that someone older cannot simply slap some sense into them. Perhaps she is a B word, perhaps the kid is a disrespectfull brat.

Just my $.02. 751052[/snapback] I am having a problem with the neighbor's cat right now. He lets his cat roam free. We have a fenced-in yard (fence is about 4.5 feet high). Even though there is a fence, the cat can still jump to the top of the fence and into our yard. He likes chasing after the birds in our yard (we have several feeders) and the squirrels. The problem is that I have a 95lb German Shepherd that does not like the aforementioned cat. We generally keep our dog inside, but we also need to let him out to do his business and to get exercise. I talked with the neighbor and he said, "There is nothing I can do to keep the cat out of your yard." Well, then I guess that there is nothing I can do to prevent my dog from ripping your cat to shreds. Problem solved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chances are your city has a law that they can't allow the cat out without a leash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps she is a B word, perhaps the kid is a disrespectfull brat. 751074[/snapback] You are correct, we do not know the whole story. But from the articles posted here, the only thing the woman seems to be claiming is the boy MEOWED at her...from his parent's property. There is no claim of, or reference to, ANY other harrassment. You would think that would be mentioned if there was a lawsuit in play. Again, she is suing him, not complaining to his parents. That suggests (it doesn't prove) she is a litigious B word. He might be disrespectful. Big woop! BTW, the "slapping some sense" argument works both ways. If she is the whiney old B word, these articles suggest, give credit to the kid. Many would have done things far worse than a simple "meow". Aparently he knew he couldn't slap some sense into the old bag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cromagnum Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 what a stupid old B word. if i was the kid, i'd personally go take a sh-- in her flower box. Clean THAT up you old bag. 750875[/snapback] I would sneak into her yard at night and pour roundup weed killer over her flowers. If she is that cranky over a meow and tried sueing me I would be creative in my revenge... Thats if she is that cranky as the link suggest......I'm an azz so what, at least you know how I might take action on a cranky neighbor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
