crazy neighbour

[6demandingchildren]

I am to scared to post in AIBU, but this morning I got a note through the door from my neighbour it was addressed to my house number and it says that my cat (WITH THE RED COLLAR) has been in her garden and it has given her dogs fleas, she is wanting the cost of the flea treatment £92 for shampoo, tablets, spot on and vets consultaion and the injection.
would it be rude to post a note back saying its like eating a tin of beans and knowing what bean made you fart? (lighthearted)
her house is one of 4 that are at the side of my house.

Okkkkkay... tell her to jog on. Fleas can come from anywhere. She's trying her luck!

If you are treating your dog properly surely it wouldn't get fleas?

I have 4 cats and im amazed she has narrowed it down to that particular cat.

ha I'd ignore it she is trying it on, how does she know where the fleas came from.

I would tell her to fuck off!

My dog picks up fleas frequently from the bloody foxes and hedgehogs that frequent our garden and the areas we walk in...

Your neighbour is batshit!

Dear Neighbour,

Prove it.

Kind regards

maybe i should ask for the fleas back

Wtf!

Hmmm. I think you tell her your cat is just a decoy (and has been treated) and that the real culprit is feral and skulking somewhere in the neighbourhood. You have seen it but it only appears at night and she needs to keep a very careful watch for it..... maybe that will tire her out!

Tell her they are your fleas and she had no right taking them without your cats permission, stupid woman is just trying it on.

Flea treatment for dog - £5-£9 each
Flea spray for house -approx £15
The ability to identify which animal brought fleas to a whole neighbourhood ...Priceless

hahahahahahahahahhaa

(deep breath)

hahahahahahahahahaha

brilliant OP. I'd go with your original suggestion of farting beans...

Tell her once she provides the dna test, you will provide flea treatment. Along with an invitation to JK show.

I'd go round all angry saying " what do you mean your dog has fleas, my cat doesn't, and if she/he gets them I'm going to fucking sue uou"

Then give a tinkly little laugh like your nuts and wander off.

Your NDN is being ridiculous and a CF, there’s no way they can prove your cat transferred the fleas, I’d ignore, they are not wanting to pay out and are trying to blame you in the hope you pay the bill!

Dear neighbour, I have had stern words with dcat and told him he isn't to share anymore.
Please return the fleas to their rightful owner and we shall say no more about it.

I would just post a note back, ‘Dear crazy neighbour, my cat doesn’t have fleas, far more likely your dog has picked them up from wildlife in your garden. Now please jog on with your CFery, lots of love, 6 xxx’

she hasnt lived in her house long but she will stand at her window for hours (not that i know for sure as i dont watch her back) but she seems to always be at the window,
a bit like norman bates in psycho.

tablets, spot on and the injection

if she's using all 3 types of flea prevention in one go, that's going to be one hell of a sick dog so I certainly don't think a vet was consulted...

but yes, in reality, fleas could have come from ANYWHERE so your neighbor is a loon. In case there was actually any doubt.

In her defence was she maybe just looking for a reason to contact you?

Lol like wanting to be flea friends?

You need to write back to her... this will be the thread that keeps giving!! In fact you could write several times, all the above suggestions are brilliant.

just trying to contact you

Hm, she'd have to be a complete loon to think this is the way to meet the neighbours socially! In fact, she's a complete loon whichever way you slice this

would it be rude to post a note back saying its like eating a tin of beans and knowing what bean made you fart?

PLEASE do this.

If you are treating your dog properly surely it wouldn't get fleas?

This^^. We give our dog monthly medicine to prevent fleas, ticks and heartworm - I think that's pretty standard for dog owners.

So, her dog shouldn't be picking up fleas from anywhere if she's looking after him properly.
