Adding Insult to Injury

As if the past few days starting with a friend's death last week, being sick off and on since Friday afternoon (more sick than ever starting last night after dinner), and having our hot water tank give up the ghost ... last night someone stole our cat house from the front porch.

They aren't that inexpensive, so it is going to be a while before we can replace it, and it was a shelter for our cats when they hadn't come in at night or when the weather was nasty ... and it was in rough shape with some of the sisal rope having been scratched completely off, and desperately needing a clean from shed hair and likely some cat sick ... so I have to wonder who HAD to have it that they stole it.

I do hope it's just some waste of space who stole it, and not some cat-hater who is going to then come back and put out poison for our kitties.

Maxx did report it to the police when he came home, as he was the one who noticed it coming in from his shift (it was there when I went to sleep last night), and they kind of gave him the brush off as in "you're reporting someone stealing your cat house?", but as he said, he wanted it on record, as after all, if someone is willing to walk off with that, what else might they steal from the neighborhood, and if something does happen to our cats we at least have a record of the cat house being stolen first ... not that I think it would do us much good, but hey, at least we called.
