re: #65 Feline Fearless Leader

That’s something else I don’t miss about no longer having property and a “border” to defend.

Luckily I did not have a neighboring dog using my yard as a toilet. Just a neighboring teen who tossed his cigarette butts over the hedge into my yard. I tossed them back a few times, and then eventually had a short conversation with his father — which turned out well as such things go.

Both neighbors were also pro-cat, so they didn’t mind my cats patrolling their yard. Understood the value of the rodent control they provided.

I was bitching about the apartment vs home ownership debate yesterday. Sometimes, I’d be completely fine with a nice apartment. I know financially it makes more sense to own, but I just don’t get the joy out of home ownership that others seem to get.

It didn’t help that after we moved in here, the neighbor’s kid was starting full band practice at 3 AM. So goddamned loud that I could not only tell you what song they were playing, you could hear they needed to tune down to accommodate their vocalist.

Same fucking bullshit I was putting up with in a one BR apartment, only four times more expensive.
