Hello,
I don't know where to turn. When we moved here in December, within a week a stray cat showed up. We didn't feed her for 2 days hoping she would go "home". She didn't. We even drove a couple miles away and dropped her off near the former owner-of-this-house thinking she belonged there and would go "home". She found her way back!
Since then we have been feeding her and giving her shelter.
I think she is old and cannot see very well.
She is getting meaner and meaner. She is terrorizing my other cats, practically holds us humans hostage in the house because she wants to come in and guards the doors. Even when we run to another door, she's there! We've let her in a couple of times because of bad weather, but she is mean and has no manners (jumping on the kitchen counter, etc.) She is destroying our screens and doors.
This morning was the last straw with her fighting (again) with my sweet Macy - a tortie cat who wouldn't hurt anything!! My two cats are just so "beaten down" and sad. They cannot go outside and just hang out without being stalked and attacked. This cat will even swipe and bite at us.
What should I do??? I got on the county animal control website, but it is so sad! I know if I bring her there it will be a death sentence. I cannot give her away through craigslist or anywhere else because she is mean.
I guess I am looking for validation to bring her to the county animal control.......
