nyhaahaa!

Or whatever the correct spelling for the sound that "Rudolph, the red-nosed kitty kat" made when he started eating the food I put out for him, with him probably seated in the drizzling rain for a half hour before I knew he was outside.  The 'trouble maker" abandoned cat I was able to neuter last month left out a simple meow, when I fed him an hour prior.  Thankfully, he's gone for awhile, cause submissive Rudolph flees to the far corner of my second floor kitchen roof to avoid him.
I really seem to be stuck where I'm living, cause of these cats.  As long as my landlord doesn't raise my rent 50 dollars cause I was complaining of the loud drunken idiot downstairs, I'll stay put, sleeping on the floor of my living room.  Last night the drunken, pot smoking, downstairs idiot was playing his music at night, not as loud as it was, but loud enough so that nobody could ever fall asleep, even at 10 at night, to it.  And my landlord, being an ex-drug addict/alcoholic, doesn't want to hear complaints of the downstairs idiot.
Last night, around 1030, the drunken Indian neighbor came home, with a "I don't give a &^%$#" to his common law wife, followed by a "I don't care" a couple times before he quieted down.
He did at least tell me yesterday that the group for the homeless is gone from upstairs, which explains all the past-midnight noise for last few weeks. I found a beer can on top of my garbage can this morning.  2 or 3 months from now, when the new neighbor has a $200 electric bill, from electric heat (which is what I just paid for a month), maybe the newcomer will skip out on the rent.
yesterday I walked the 3? miles to walmart, thinking it might be one of the last times before moving; I splurged on a $4 tape measure, to measure my current apartment. The would-be new place is tiny---with only TWO WINDOWS; my apartment has NINE windows; a couple days ago I was enjoying the sun coming through my bedroom windows, despite no bed in that room.

Hopefully the trade off\'s will work to your favor. Better neighbors you could be friends with. Maybe better outdoor space.More peace and quiet?

I\'m thinking the sort of behavior you are enduring now might not be tolerated at your new place.

Would make me laugh if you told me the homeless kitties followed you to your new digs! Stranger things have happened! =))))

I bet you will find other cats in need of help if you do decide to move. Sadly there are strays everywhere. But I can understand you not wanting to leave the ones you are helping now.

hi, TroJanThunder,

one of the many things that worry me about potential new place is of ME being regarded as the trouble-maker....with a no-noise before 10 in morning policy, when I asked about my morning routine of 8 in morning 25 jumping jacks.

and a late he to you, KellyPeterson,

yesterday, when I joked to a cashier of homeless cats driving me to the poor house, when I bought over 30 cans of food, the cashier replied....\'they\'re not homeless, they have you.\"

the new apt building, in very busy downtown, with a highway going through it, just seems sooo dead, despite the traffic and people; I guess the homeless cats where I live do keep me busy, since I don\'t have much of a life otherwise;)
