The neighbour who backs on to me has a beautiful cat who is always in my garden usually to annoy my Corgi cross by sitting just out of his reach looking smug. Yesterday I had a phone call from my gardener they.are going to spray strong weedkiller at the bottom of the garden tonight at around 5 and I will have to keep my dog away from the area for at least 12 hours. I remembered the cat and decided to pop round and warn the neighbour, I introduced myself and and managed to say the word cat when she slammed the door in my face and refused to answer when I knocked again so I left a note saying what was happening and I also said that I would check with the gardener that a cat would be OK after 12 hours and I would let her know if it needs to be longer. I ended up by saying her cat is beautiful.
This morning I saw lots of messages on WhatsApp about me the neighbour had posted ' my ignorant pink haired neighbour came round to complain about my cat and even posted a note through my door' she went on to say she just tore the note up. Obviously there were a lot of replies telling her to tell me to F off one even said she had seen me around during the day saying I must be on benefits as I don't work. I have just replied saying I came round to warn her that I am having weedkiller sprayed in the area I normally see her cat and I didn't want him to be poisoned I also mentioned my dog needing to be kept away from the area for 12 hours and I am going to check if it would be longer for a cat. I have had several replies saying well done for thinking about the cat all positive but nothing as yet from the neighbour or her gobby mate
