    Getting an old pine stump to burn down into the ground is badass

    Round these parts we call it “deep earth fire”

    Let me know if you find a solution. I’ve got at least 5-6 stray/feral cats that hang around my house, and while I enjoy the fact that I don’t have mice, I don’t appreciate the cats pissing on my house, shitting in the yard, and causing a ruckus when they’re in heat or fighting.

    This is a regular day at my house. Meanwhile there are about 2 dozen kittens at a time as well.

    When I see missing dog posters around my area I'm like well I'm sure the coyotes know where he is.

    Worst part is, these aren't strays or feral. This lady has this many cats.

    No litter boxes though, that's what my yard is for.

    I see these women at the grocery store buying nothing but like $200 of cat food and I always wonder if they are crazy cat ladies

    Now I will wonder how much their neighbors hate them

    There are currently no rules, laws or codes about how many cats a person can keep at their house. As long as they are feed and not sickly, there is nothing the city could do if you have 500 cats.

    An animal control guy told me that found a lady living in a RV with 50-60 cats and they had to leave them all. Stupid fucking laws.

    Also me and the Cat Neighbor began as mortal enemies.

    I bought this house in 2015 and there was a severe lack of underwriters/inspectors/etc in the area, so it took like 3 months longer than planned for us to close. We finally get our keys and start to move only to find out that the Cat Neighbor moved the fence on her side, attached it to THE SIDE OF OUR HOUSE (this wasn't here before) and was using about 500 square feet of our property as her side yard. I asked her to move her stuff and her response was "talk with your landlord, he knows this is my property". She had a little bench and planter boxes pushed up right up against the side of my house under the bedroom windows for her to have have fucking picnics and shit. I'd never been so pissed off.

    I then took an afternoon while she was away, threw all that shit back on to her property (broke half of it) and built a fence where our actual property line was. She was furious and once again said "you need to get ok from your landlord. I'm tearing this fence down". I told her "I own this house. You touch my fence and I'm going to physically stop you and call the cops." and slammed the door in her face.

    Since then she has done everything in her power to try to make my life hell. If I was a less petty person I would give up and move, but I love this house and neighborhood and can't let her win. Plus she is in shit health and like mid 70's....

    The fence after we moved in:

    The thing about cat ladies is they’re psychotic. The thing about psychotic people is you can’t rationalize with them. I wish you the best luck on a battle you won’t win.

    She had flood lights installed like 15+ feet up.

    The city code compliance since took care of that.

    Oh 100% I know I won't "win", I just do my best to not let it get to me or dwell on it.

    Obviously sometimes I break lol

    We've lived here for 20 years and for the first 17 we didn't lose any cats to coyotes, but we've lost three in the last three years now that the coyotes have moved in to the golf course in search of water. They've also eaten all the local varmints - raccoons, possums, even the skunks

    My neighbor was telling people I deal drugs because no way a pool guy can afford house improvements and nice things.

    Blocked her phone number and went about my business, which is dealing drugs of course.

    We have elderly neighbors who live in Millbrae and just come here for weekends. Their dog barks at us when we're in our own fucking house, and they do nothing about it. So I have to break out Football Voice every once in a while to remind them to SHUT YOUR FUCKING DOG UP and then they finally bring it inside. It's a neighborhood, not a fucking kennel

    They’ve got those things you can put in your yard that make a high pitched noise when dogs bark. I think it’s supposed to deter them from barking.

    It's a dog. Dogs bark. If you're getting bent out of shape about a dog barking (from the owner's property) between the hours of about 7am - 8pm, you're probably the asshole here
