Rights of Neighbors and Animals



Asalamu'alykum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakaatuh

Dear Shaikh, 
For quite a while my family have been feeding stray cats in our garden as a means of reward, having listened to many stories about kindness towards animals we thought it could be a means of jannah for us, up until recently we have not had any issues from our neighbors, we have only recently been made aware that these stray cats have been leaving excrement in their gardens. The neighbors have told us to stop feeding them as it is causing them annoyance having to clean the waste. If we stopped feeding them then they would potentially stop coming to the area, although that isn't certain as others might also be feeding them. 

We were wondering how to tackle this, do we listen to our neighbors and completely stop feeding the cats or do we continue to feed them and continue to gain reward as there is no point stopping as others might also feed them?
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

有隻流浪狗已經餓了好幾天了，牠每天就只在公園附近晃晃、挖挖垃圾桶。有一天，一位獸醫經過看到了牠。
「多美麗的動物阿！你在這裡幹甚麼？你真使我訝異。我家裡有很多高級的狗食，讓我帶你回去吃一些！」獸醫這麼說。
狗狗似乎聽得懂他說的話，就跟著他回家了。
當他們到了獸醫的家，獸醫倒了一些凱薩狗食在盤子裡並對狗狗說：「來吧！把這些都吃完吧！」狗狗不斷地嗅著狗食，似乎很猶豫。「吃阿！是免費的！」
狗狗不再猶豫，在吃完了狗食以後，牠打了一個飽嗝。獸醫笑了，「我想你應該高興的飛上天了吧！是嗎？」
突然，電話響了，獸醫接起電話，在講完了以後，他對狗狗說：「嘿！是我辦公室打來的，他們需要我，我比較想跟你待在這，而不是去那個臭得要死的地方，這真是一個很糟的工作，不過我得走了。」他把狗狗放到屋外，然後跟牠道別。牠靜靜的跟在獸醫後頭，然後在獸醫院外面等。正當狗狗想要躺下休息時，獸醫出來抽根煙的時候看見了牠，「又是你？你在跟蹤我阿？或許我該讓你吃顆藥讓你睡覺。」
出人意外地，狗狗似乎知道他在說些什麼而嗚嗚叫了起來。
獸醫笑著說：「噢！不用擔心，我只是開玩笑的，讓我帶你進去找個和我一樣愛你的主人吧。」

正當狗狗想要躺下休息時，獸醫出來抽根煙看見了牠，「又是你？你在跟蹤我阿？或許我該讓你吃顆藥讓你睡覺。」 animals eat their young for the same reason humans have abortions.

as far as incest is concerned. it happens in nature just as much as it happens in humans. first cousins can have children turn out perfectly fine.

it sounds like your cousin isn't that well educated. he needs to stop only reading headlines/taglines in the newspapers.

animals don't act different from humans. they do what they do to get what they need and make themselves happy. you want to make sure that you identify the animal so that there is an opportunity for that animal to be checked for disease. there's a difference between wild animals and domesticated animals, but in most cases, a call to the local animal enforcement officer will help decide whether or not you need additional follow-up medical care for your child. rabies is always a consideration, whether the bite is by a wild animal or a pet.â â you don't want to put your child through the trauma of treating for potential rabies or other diseases if that's not necessary, so you want to have to the animal tested. can you identify from where in your childhood this people pleasing dynamic stems from?why do you people please?what do you get from it?what might happen if you don't people please?rhetorical questions for self discovery. as my gong fu instructor used to say. 'awareness'. you should watch your inner thought processes and your bodily/feeling reactions, rather than necessarily having to get caught up in them or believing them, or even answering them. once they are watched and the own processes of your consciousness are understood more fully, they will start to lose their grip on you.the other thing worth bearing in mind is people are different in their own moods, feelings, perceptions, their own internal make up - karma - or reaction to things. therefore, they may be reacting in a way that is entirely nothing to do with you. you might also like to watch this video on healthy boundaries if you feel that might be an issue. Hello Erna, thanks for the question.



  

Actually the statement that raising a cat can make pregnancy difficult, can be true or not. As long as you are sure that your pet cat is always clean, has no or rarely contact stray cats, eats clean food, is routinely done grooming, and has been routinely vaccinated, then maintaining the cat is no problem. You can continue the pregnancy program even if you have a cat, provided the above conditions are met.



  

However, close contact with stray cats or cats that are not guaranteed cleanliness, indeed increases a person's risk of being infected with toxoplasmosis. You should also know, that a person's chance to get pregnant, depends on many things. Among others are:







Menstrual order.  

The presence or absence of ovulation that occurs every month.  

Ovum cell quality.  

Sperm cell quality.  

The presence or absence of reproductive organ disorders. For example uterine myomas, endometriosis, ovarian cysts.  

Take certain medications.  

Habits or exposure to cigarettes.  

Alcohol consumption.  

Psychic stress.  

Chronic disease.



And there are many other reasons that might influence. If you are in doubt, you can consult an obstetrician and request a TORCH examination. The examination can detect the presence of toxoplasmosis infection and infection with several other viruses that are dangerous for pregnancy.



  

That is my explanation. Hope it can be useful. Regards. That's a good question, But let God do the judging.   

Let us show God's is love, to everyone on here and every one we meet. i have alot of evacuee neighbors and i cant stand them.....dang leeches. There are two perspectives to the theme of "karma".   
  
One is a Western view which has an emphasis on shame or "What comes around goes around." In other words if one has done something to hurt or damage another then at some point in the future one will experience a similar injury or embarrassment that somehow "evens the score."  
  
Another perspective comes from the Eastern Hindu and Buddhist faiths which view karma as life presenting constant experiences for "soul growth". Whether "good" or "bad" experiences their purpose is for the eventual acquisition of "enlightenment" and freedom from the wheel of reincarnation. What is this enlightenment? It is living in the consciousness of love and compassion. It's not a philosophy of shame or "comeuppance" for doing wrong to another.   
  
It's really tough to forgive someone if they have hurt or wronged you. And yet, it is by following this difficult path, we eventually earn both a psychological and spiritual freedom that allows us to live a peaceful life. i've wondered this myself. all of my black neighbors in my apartment buildings back in to the parking spots. the funny thing is, they can't seem to back in straight. i don't know what it is. one of my neighbors even purposefully takes up two spots so his truck won't get scratched. good question. Sure.   

  

But most of the time they try to turn it down, because department regulations prohibit it in most places. Some places (in the old days) used to do it to try to curry favor and get better police protection. That is not really the case any more. Everybody knows that cops lock up the guy who bought them the free meal, just like they do the guy who charged full price.   

  

It is embarassing in someplaces, and some places won't take no for an answer, so you end up leaving a BIG tip. And someplaces are so flagrant aboit it, you stop going there.   

  

Back in the old days, when we made less money that any other public servant, we interperted it as a nice gesture. Now, we aren't sure why people do it. I guess it is somewhat akin to a professional courtesy. Lots of restaurants give half price to the guys who deliver to them, or the plumber who fixes their rest room.   

  

As far as the donuts, I love them, but don't eat too many any more, I have gotten too fat. But i do drink lots of Convenience store and donut shop coffee. Once upopn a time, only diners were open at night, all night, and it gave a police officer someplace to take a break from either foot or mechanized patrol. In the middle of the night, there are different people out and about in the world. So, the newspaper delivery man, the cop, the donut shop waitress and the bartenders going off duty are the only people around and they would often all come together in the diner or donut shop.
