Our house abuts a wilderness area that’s been home to a colony of feral cats that the neighborhood has cared for for years (including spaying and neutering, and finding homes for the amenable ones). A couple of months ago a new family moved in across the street, and just now they had Animal Control out to gather up the cats. These are not adoptable cats, else they’d all have been homed already.
They took out a hit on the cats, basically. Motherfuckers.
I live in a town that seems to embrace ferrel or outdoor cats. It’s really unfortunate that I have to consider if I am setting up a bird feeder or a cat feeder in my yard.
Thanks for letting yours live its best life on the farm. The real farm. Not the proverbial one.
