Dead cat update:
When I returned home last night the dead cat was still on my front yard, gathering flies.
This morning my two indoor cats landed on me, very agitated.

I went out to the front yard and saw that the dead cat was no longer there.
Oh, I thought, someone must have come by earlier this morning, and turned my attention to other things.

About 15 minutes ago I opened the back door.
The dead cat - now covered in flies and definitely starting to decompose - had been left right in front of my back door.

I am assuming by a neighbor who - understandably - didn't want a dead cat in a front yard and wanted me to take care of the situation.
Thing is, I HAD - or thought so.

So here's the thing, @OrangeCoFL . When I discovered a dead cat on my front yard, I did the right thing. I called you. Your operator assured me that someone was coming out to remove the cat. When I called a second time, your operator assured me that someone was coming.
@OrangeCoFL I understand that you have outsourced this service to another agency and that YOU can't necessarily give me an ETA. But the agency that you have outsourced this to SHOULD be able to give me this information, if only so that I can let them know that the cat has been moved.
Because right now, I have a dead, decomposing cat at my back door, blocking my back exit.
That's the door that I use for my mobility scooter.

Which means that until this cat is removed, I can't use my mobility scooter.
On top of that, of course, your agency wouldn't necessarily be able to see the cat in its current position since the cat has been removed.

Sorry, not removed, but moved from its previous position.
But also, @OrangeCoFL , by "outsourced" I assume you mean "the county is paying to have this done."
So you are paying for services that you are NOT GETTING.

My neighbors did not immediately remove the dead cat. Nor did I. We have given the county/this outsourced agency a full day to do what you told me you/the agency would be doing: coming and removing the dead cat.
I realize it's a weekend. I realize this is an unpleasant task.
But I'm the one who has a dead cat - quite possibly someone's pet, which is why I didn't try to bury/bag the body myself yesterday - left on my back door.
I want an explanation and an apology, @OrangeCoFL .
