Description

There is an orange cat (among other cats) that live at 1802 Springhaven Circle. The owners have been told by the animal control officer that their cat(s) cannot be allowed to roam free outside of their yard. I constantly find this cat in my yard, on my front and back porches, under my deck, and laying around in my backyard. This cat marks its territory at all of my doors, on all the porches and the deck. It uses my large containers with flowers planted in them for its "litter box". It poops and pees all over my property -- even in my garage! The people were told by animal control that they could not let their cat run free, so they kept it in for a little while, but it is back in my yard, under my deck, etc. Recently, when I saw it in my backyard, I went out and tried to shoe it off, but it just layed in the grass growling at me. I reported it to animal control, but nothing was done. I have a puppy now that plays in MY backyard, and I am afraid that this feral cat might injure him. One of their other cats was in my yard about a year ago and bit my German Shepherd all over his face and tried to bite me. I managed to grab a 2 X 4 and pushed it off of my fence. I had to take my dog to the vet to be treated for the bites which cost me over $100. The owners of these cats told me that they never vaccinate their cats!! I told them that it was a law in College Station that all cats and dogs must be vaccinated if they live in the city limits. Something needs to be done. What if these cats bite other pets?! What if they bite children?!
