about a cat called Marlow
by Christine Frechard 12 Dec '25

12 Dec '25

Dear neighbors A cat with a collar on it, with the name *Marlow *is frequently in our backyard ( very close to the corner of Highland and Jackson) and he is aggressive and mean to our indoor and outdoor cats. Today one of our cat climbed all the way on top of tree and could not come down. He was crying for help. My daughter had to climb all the way up to try to rescue, she got hurt. When I tried to kick Marlow out of our backyard he will not move but try to attack me. *Should I call the animal rescue next time?* *We are not comfortable with this cat in our backyard at all.* *Please get back to me thank you*

FREE - Kelty Green River 4-person tent
by Frances Irvin 10 Dec '25

10 Dec '25

Hi neighbors, I am giving away a Kelty Green River 4-person tent. See sample photo. The only caveat is that the original sealant tape along the inside seams of the fly is peeling off. So to make this rainproof you will need to re-seal the seams on the fly. Here is a link to a product at REI that might work: https://www.rei.com/product/603034/gear-aid-seam-grip-seam-sealer Otherwise the tent is in good shape. Please email if interested.

Hello! I’m looking to buy some Lego bricks secondhand if anyone is selling. My 5 year old is very into building these days, and I’m planning to wrap them up for the holidays. I thought I’d ask this group before I buy new. Thank you!
