[dropcap]W[/dropcap]atch the Loving Mountain City FaceBook and the Mountain City edition of NextDoor.com for new episodes in the tale of Kitty Hulk, The Rogue Attacking Cat that’s causing terror along Maple and Ash.
On social media, numerous cat owners with vet bills (and a dead pet) have united to share horror stories and make vows to trap the large charcoal gray cat with white paws. It’s said his head is one-and-a-half times the size of other cat heads. “This cat harasses and attacks cats in the cat’s own fenced backyard.”
Kitty Hulk is extremely aggressive and dangerous. He has assaulted and mauled pet cats, even in the presence of their owners.
The distraught cat was discovered trapped early Monday morning. But, before Animal Control opened, Kitty Hulk managed to turn the trap on its side and escape through a small opening.
Also along Maple, angry homeowners complain of dog feces left on their lawns, as if the dog owners do not know to carry poop bags when they walk their dogs. This matter came up at a recent Council meeting.
You’ll see us dragging KissMe past mailboxes. It was at a City Council meeting awhile back that we learned some homeowners are offended by the odor of dog urine near their mailbox.
Poop bags are on the list of supplies needed by PAWS Animal Shelter. Saturday, March 4th from 2–4 p.m., Mountain City scout troops will collect donations from beside mailboxes throughout Mountain City. The “Paws 4 Love” Campaign wish list appears on the Facebook page of Loving MountainCity.
On February 1st, when Roger Green looked out the window he knew at a glance the visitor at his Hummzinger feeder was not the wintering Rufous. When Roger looked through his binoculars he positively identified a Ruby-throated. This was the first time Roger has seen a Ruby-throated at this time of year.
Cliff Shackleford, maker of our “Owl Shack”, and one of TPWD’s most knowledgeable, responded to the photo of our Screech Owl, with word that only 10% - 20% of owls in Central Texas are red. Our “Owl’ee” is special. Eastern Screech Owls are grey; Western Screech Owls are red.
On January 28, Penny Moulder’s bluebonnets were blooming.
On January 29, Mayor Phillip Taylor posted on the City’s FaceBook his idea for “Coffee with the Mayor”. He is working out the logistics and process of a community event, probably on a Saturday, where citizens express concerns and ask questions. No action could be taken in the town hall system.
