To Tell the woman outside to leave my kitten alone.

[TheLadyEvenstar]

My living room window is faces directly onto the street outside. My 5m old Kitten sits on the window sill 90% of the day. Most people walk past sometimes a few stop (mainly workmen) and play with him through the window. I can see them laughing as the cat chases their fingers etc.

This morning however, a woman walks past (like she does everyday) and says " look at the cat shall I make him jump up" next thing there is a high pitched screech which was continuos and the woman banging on my window.

I called out "Leave the kitten alone Please"

To which she started screaming
"Its just a fucking cat i wanted my kid to see it cos he wants one and you won't let him play with yours"

I then opened the door and asked her politely to stop shouting as it is still early.

she had a rant and rave finally telling me I had frightened her "little kid" to which I replied "and you frightened my little kitten with that stupid screech"

I came inside and carried on with what I was doing 3 times she came back and screamed through the window.....

YANBU she sounds like a very hostile nutter!
(Doesn't sound much of a life for a cat though spending 90% of her time sitting on a window ledge gazing out)

she's a nutter. Just be grateful she didn't shut the kitten in your wheelie bin

Brass, he is a lazy little thing. He sits there watching the pigeons. but then he will have a mad 30 minutes and run round like a lunatic....chasing shoes, feet, toes etc.

I was probably exaggerating about 90% of his time but when he wants quiet time he lays there.

I don't play with him much as the vet has said that is what was making him spiteful the fact he was played with so much. So now we let him come to us to play.

Sapphire!!!!! he would attack her if she tried ...he is ninja cat really

What a cow!!! Keep your curtains shut at the time she walks past. Nice language she uses in front of her son too!

What the flip? She screamed at your cat through your window, then swore at you for asking her to stop, then she shouted at you throuh your own window again?

I've lived in places where this type of behaviour would end up in her getting a broken nose. That's a pretty bad invasion of your privacy/home. I would have given her some stern words.

Gosh YANBU. What a strange woman. Cats sleep for 16 hours a day so I am not surprised that your kitten spends a lot of time in the window - I think it's perfectly normal.

What a loon! I thought you were going to say she was playing with him outside, but this is just intrusive!

YANBU. Bitchc**t. Hope she doesn't get a kitten of her own, the poor thing would be a neurotic wreck.

I don't mind when the odd person plays with him but the screech was ear piercing...and I was in the hallway (very big hallway) loading th e dishwasher when I first heard it so rushed into living room because I thought something was wrong with DS2.

Anyway its ok cos "I will be back to fucking sort you out later" - I am shaking in my slippers lol

Sorry OP I thought you heard the nice lady say "shall I make the cat jump" before the screechor am I reading it all wrong? [cinfused]

, obviously.

Christ. What a bloody nutcase. If she comes back and starts call the police.

Agree with Jux
What a nasty vindictive small minded prick.

Wait round the corner and jump out and screetch at her really loudly, o no, hang on, cant do that its not normal behaviour, as you were!

You could chuck a bucket of water out the top floor window next time she walks past and harrasses you and your kitten.

YANBU btw. She sounds a bloody fruitloop.

How very very weird!!
This is like the thread about people letting their kids into someone else's garden while waiting for a bus.
Just cos your living room window is right on the street does not mean this peculiar behaviour is acceptable.
I like the jumping out on her and screeching idea!!
What Strange boundaries some people have [shocked]

Where do you live

I can't imagine living anywhere that playing with a kitten through someones front window is acceptable???

Barmy!

I like the bucket of water from your top window idea (if you don't have one - rope the upstairs neighbour in!!)

And you didn't threaten to call the police?

Do you have a supersoaker water pistol to hand?

Trust me, I would!

Do you live in coventry?

Yep supersoaker is the way to go or some hot oil would do the trick.

yanbu
what an odd woman

Nice language in front of her kid - tells you just exactly what sort of woman she is. YANBU

Aww, this reminds me of when I lived in Cardiff in a terraced street where the living room windows were right up against the pavement - there was a house that had a kitten that slept on a cat bed on the window sill inside and we used to call it "window cat" (imaginative, us lot) and always coo over it when we walked passed.

We never banged on the window and shouted like loons though - what an odd woman.
