I ...All right I'm starting to get stabby here. I should have guessed that a subject like this brings out the militant views.<br /><br />Here's the thing:<br /><br />I can only do what I can manage to do. I cannot do what I cannot manage. Right now I don't have a whole lot of time, money, and this is very important, energy. I do not personally see spaying and neutering all the local strays as a priority, not when I'm got so many many other things on my plate. They will be here, and have always been here, whether I feed them or not.<br /><br />I do agree that trapping, neutering and releasing certainly sounds like the best way to control the feral/stray cat population; but I just don't think I'm up to it now, and frankly y'all are sounding pretty judgey about it.<br /><br />Especially this:<br /><br /><i>you will be adding another dimension to the hoard (dead kittens, feces, urine, as seen on the hoarding TV shows).</i><br /><br />Since I do not have time for that kind of shit, I'm closing comments down on this post. And CCL, you need to get the fuck off my blog, now.Thaliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09948272740932982138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4101965020061723845.post-64551781799437330442011-05-26T20:41:33.160-04:002011-05-26T20:41:33.160-04:00I love them but no-one brings the drama like cats!...I love them but no-one brings the drama like cats!

They should also tip the cat's ear to make keeping track of whose been neutered easier.

PLEASE do find out where you can get them spayed/neutered. Another way to learn more would be to join http://pets.groups.yahoo.com/group/feral_cats/. Thanks for caring enough to take care of them so far!LRShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07351785826068969387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4101965020061723845.post-8257481330542599392011-05-26T15:05:01.262-04:002011-05-26T15:05:01.262-04:00My next-door neighbor is feeding the stray cats, a...My next-door neighbor is feeding the stray cats, and now there are more. The really bad thing is that they hang out in the lean-to that's attached to my shed, and my dog goes nuts trying to chase them away. I have to find a way to get in there and do something to discourage them from going in there. I don't want them hurt, but if the darn neighbor would stop putting out food, some of them would go away and the others would just keep the rodent problem down.<br /><br />I love cats, but since my dog doesn't, I gotta do what I gotta do.Elainehttp://GrayHairedChick@hotmail.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4101965020061723845.post-82782061742757659222011-05-25T23:56:35.428-04:002011-05-25T23:56:35.428-04:00Yeah I was wondering about something like that, TW...Yeah I was wondering about something like that, TWG, though trapping them sounds like not the easiest thing in the world. I'll look into it. It would definitely have to be free or low-cost though. And how do you keep a semi-feral cat from chewing out their stitches?Thaliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09948272740932982138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4101965020061723845.post-91805368844859888762011-05-25T23:16:32.369-04:002011-05-25T23:16:32.369-04:00Congratulations on your new pets even if you don&#...Congratulations on your new pets even if you don't realize yet that you've just been adopted by a nice, loving cat family. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4101965020061723845.post-31422140355316469052011-05-25T22:15:30.172-04:002011-05-25T22:15:30.172-04:00Removing them actually doesn't work, long term...Removing them actually doesn't work, long term.
