A pet owner was left scratching her head after receiving a bizarre note from her neighbor about something so trivial she thought it must be a joke.
Taking to a local Facebook group, the woman shared the “unhinged” letter about her cat that was left in her letterbox the other day.
“Bark all day long”
It read: “Hey neighbor! Can you please keep your cats out of the window?”
“They are causing my dog to sit in the window and bark all day long.”
The anonymous author ended her letter abruptly, saying, “I work from home so this is very difficult, thanks, K.”
The cat owner says she has three cats and two new kittens in her house, that “love to sit in the window when it’s nice out” but they “do nothing but sleep.”
“We keep the windows open because we don’t have aircon yet,” she added.
“Sheer insanity”
Her post, which has now received over 15,000 comments, left many people furious at the “entitled” dog owner.
“Tell them to train the dog,” one advised, echoing the thoughts of many.
“LMAO, you cannot stop a cat from sitting in a window. Cats will find a way, but you can absolutely do a number of things to stop a dog from barking at a window,” a second commented.
“This can’t be real. What a crazy neighbor,” a third chimed in.
“If ‘your dog’ is barking when they look out the window, then cover ‘your window’,” someone else pointed out.
Even a dog owner sided with the cat owner, and that’s saying something. “I’m totally a dog person, but trying to make your neighbor discipline their cat for sitting in a window because you won’t discipline your dog for nuisance barking is SHEER INSANITY. I mean, what the hell?” they said.
“Train your cat not to chill in a window because training a dog not to disturb the sh-t out of everyone is too hard? I can’t believe this neighbor had the nerve.”
Others on the post told the woman not to reply to the neighbor. “Just ignore it,” someone wrote. “Imagine being so entitled that you think it’s someone else’s responsibility to control your pet’s behavior.”
“Your cats have every right to enjoy a sunny window, and if this person’s dog has a conniption because of it, that is 100 percent not your problem.”
