I would like to comment on this problem, which is more prevalent than most
people realize.
I am not a cat lover, but I catch feral cats in a humane trap and take them to
the vet hospital to be spayed. In the case of a male, they neuter them. This
helps, but does not solve the problem. So far, it is under control here, I
believe.
I have been to cities in California where the problem is totally out of hand,
and Animal Control is at its wits end to get a handle on the cat population.
Los Gatos in Northern California means "the cats" for a reason. I hate the
solution of shooting them, but perhaps it is not totally out of line.
Cats can pose a tremendous problem if left to reproduce freely. My daughter
has flower beds totally ruined by cats. Nothing will grow in them, and they
stink terribly. They kill birds, who pollinate plants, and I know of a couple
of people who have had their dogs blinded by a feral cat.
My point is: don't be totally shocked when you hear of cats being shot. It is
not pretty, but until people control their cats and kittens, it may be a
solution to a huge problem. Poor cats. They are only doing what is necessary
to survive. Doris
