One amusing thing about my dog walks in Oak Lawn is that there always seems to be a pair of brooding eyes following me — the neighborhood is crawling with black cats.
I am not sure whether these cats are feral or actually belong to my neighbors. However, someone is definitely maintaining food and watering bowls for them, which sometimes cause massive swirls of birds to pop-out suddenly from fields along the sidewalks.
The black cats are harmless, but definitely not scared of my dogs. At least they haven’t attacked us yet, unlike the Katy Trail Cats…
I prefer cats looming around to the out-of-control rat problem that we had back in DC. Oak Lawn’s cats may be grumpy, but they aren’t actively terrifying like the things we’d see scurrying around in the District. 🐀
