Wow!  The Muenster beat us to the punch on this story!  I sure didn't see this one coming!  When the meeting finally occurs, you can be sure I will be in attendance to report on the discussions and agreements.

Stray Cats On Old Sand Plant Road

Article Written by Cynthia P., Freelance Writer

Residents along the Old Sand Plant Road in Hermann have been complaining about stray cats which are being dumped by their irresponsible owners.  The stray cat problem has become so bad that the cats are now reproducing and thus multiplying the nuisance factor.

One resident who prefers that we withhold his name has considered blasting the critters with his 12 ga. Remington pump and placing small IEDs in his yard.  I'm sure he was just kidding me ....... or was he?

Another resident I contacted by telephone in Florida has escaped for the winter with his wife to their second home in the sunshine state.  He told me conditions had deteriorated so much on Old Sand Plant Road that he and his wife could no longer tolerate it.  He said his wife, a very tender-hearted woman,
had been spending as much as $100 per week for cat food just to keep all the stray cats in the neighborhood from starving to death.

Residents along Old Sand Plant Road are asking the people of the Hermann area to please cease and desist from dropping off their unwanted cats.  If the cat problem persists, residents along the Old Sand Plant Road will be forming a Neighborhood Watch Group to catch and expose the guilty "cat dumpers".
