I have friends that come in the form of cats and ducks. The ducks I dont mind. Theyre adorable, and they love people. They live in my backyard. Dont ask me why when the river is just down the road.

The cats I could do without. There are 4 of them. 2 with homes near me and 2 I have no idea if they even have homes. They are forever on my front porch when I open the door. If I open the back door, there they are, like evil children from a Steven King novel. They fight with each at all hours of the night, eerily sounding like wild banshees.

Im on the bottom floor and when I went to bed last night, window open,the room smelled of cat spray. Obviously there is a cat problem here.

Ive already been notified by management that I *have* cats and that if I didnt pay a deposit I would be given a 72 hour notice to move. I had to reason with them that they are not mine. Since then, 2 other neighbors I know have been blamed for the same cats. Its getting ridiculous. Do I call animal services and have them pick them up or just go about my life and smell cat pee everytime I open my windows?

Now the ducks.....funny how no one has been blamed for having THEM as pets. I wonder what the pet deposit for those would be.
