I suspect our cats are being abused by someone in our neighborhood. I don't know who it is exactly, but I do suspect some things.
Our two adult male cats love to hang out in the front of the woods. One of them, our Bengal cat, Chip, has lately been afraid of his own shadow. One footstep you make around him will make him jump a mile. He always turns around quickly when he hears something & when we let him out through the garage, he stays in the garage to check if the coast is clear before going outside, this has been happening for months now, & he never used to do this when we first got him 3 years ago.
Today, I saw a white car from the '90s park outside the front of the woods. A teenage guy in a white t-shirt, blue bathing trunks & sandals got out of the passenger seat & looked around before proceeding to the trees. He spotted something in there and pointed to it and talked to the driver of the car, then went back tiptoeing to the woods and disappeared in the trees for about 5 minutes. The driver kept backing up a few feet slowly. Then finally, one of our neighbors who rides around with a golf cart came around the corner and the teenager ran back out of the woods and into the car, then the two teenagers in that car sped away when they saw the golf cart. I saw all of this happen through my window.
Can I call the police to patrol the neighborhood daily? I want to protect my cats.
I took pics with my iPhone to show as evidence. I got the teen and the car.
