I asked where the DIS-Like button was, probably going to be banned....

What a load of crap!

After you catch the little bastids they neuter and 'return to the wild'

I find it easier just to put a bullet in their sweet little heads.

One could say that I have "cared for" quite a few. So put me into that 40% please.

Where will the local Chinese restaurant get the ingredients for "Filet Meow"? Back in the depression when local grocery stores sold fresh rabbits, they always left the ears on, and unskinned, so people would know they weren't buying a cat.

My father had a next door neighbor who was a cat lady. They fed the feral devils and allowed them to live in a garage. We had an issue with them feeding them on our property after dad passed, and I worried prospective buyers wouldn’t want the house when we sold it after his death.

The local restaurant has a donation can on the counter to help fund neutering feral cats. I drop a few rounds of 22 ammo in, every time I go......

Had the law all over us, because someone cut a ladies prize cat one night. Dang thing shouldn't been roaming around town at 1 in the morning.

Might have one living in the woods next to and across the road from me. Has no collar or anything, seems to be out year round, and won't come near people. Comes around the side of my garage and behind it and kills mice, and leaves them out on the side of the garage next to the woods or out in the driveway. Saves me the trouble of setting out mouse traps. I named him, ( or her) "Buddy" because any cat that wants to come here and kill mice is my buddy. Although I haven't seen "Buddy" in a least a week now since the snow got deep. I was wondering if maybe he does have a home and the owners just let him run loose. Either way he's welcome to come here and eradicate mice.

People who allow their house cats to roam at will in in suburban neighborhoods are just as feral as the wild ones once they leave the house. They kill song birds and are a nuisance. Not talking about barn cats.

Here in West Central Florida the coyotes keep a pretty good lid on 'running' cats and dogs(small ones anyway)..........

when I moved to this neighborhood years ago, it was over run with 'community cats'. I killed them all. You just don't see feral cats here anymore.

Can't shoot that one - it's a sacred piebald.

Farmer friend has one indoor cat, yet ended up with 20-some outdoor ones just from people dumping them.

He’s happy if they stay in the barn but some started hanging around the house then sneaking in and chitting in the garage. We took care of them. The barn cats are fine.

He called the local rescue group. They want him to pay $250 for each cat for them to get them fixed. Why should he be paying for cats that other people have dumped on him?

HAH! That's a great idea.

We had a stray Cat do that too, kept leaving mice out the back door, I figure it was bringing me gifts lol. I was able to get ahold of it one day with some welding gloves, and held it until it knew I wasn't gonna hurt it, 6 years later...best pet we have ever owned..
I previously never liked Cats.

I have two feral cats hanging our in my neighbor hood. One tabby and the other as black as a coal mine at midnight. The tabby will run from if I come any closer than about 35 yards. Very spooky. I've been within about fifteen feet of the black one in my yard, at least until it noticed me watching, then it either slinks away or takes off like bat out of hell.
Last night one of them was in the alley back of my house in heat. We use to have several coveys of quail and quite a few cottontail rabbits come into our back yard. Those damn cats have made them extinct. I haven't seen a rabbit or quail in the yard for years now. Bummer.

... "feral"... describes behavior - feral cats are wary of people and live on their own outdoors... pretty much describes me as a child right there!

Might be a joke, but as a poor student, I 'adopted' a lot of cats. Free meat good for 4-5 meals.

We had a stray show up that was an outside cat for years. It was a good hunter and very friendly. Them my MIL moved in with us. She started letting it in the house so it was always at the door. Then it discovered the dog door and it was all over. She's been an inside cat for 5 years now. Luckily she's getting very old and likely won't last much longer.

The op diagram left out:
Community cats leave nice little gifts on your lawn to step in.
They are good at spreading ticks and fleas.
The children's sand box becomes the community litter box.
It provides extra dirt for children to move with the Tonka trucks.
Lots of fun for all. 😐

We have one that does daily visits to about 6 households. Extremely friendly. Gets a little grub from each house but he's still a hunting fool. If one detects rodent sign in the garage, lock him in for the night and all will be taken care of.

The beach at Anderson AFB, Guam was overrun with ferals when I was there. I suppose the entire island was too. Not sure if that is the case today.

Most of them got the "take 2 APCs" treatment.

When I was a teen our little ( and very fucund!) black and white female cat started to disapear for days, then weeks, then months, until she never came home. About a year after we last saw her, I found her living across town with another family. They said her visitations matched our absences closely.

I guess we weren't good enough for her, or possibly she thought they needed her more.

But this is a cat, so the latter, probably not... smile

My neighbors two houses down let their cat roam. It schits in my flower beds and chases off all the birds. I tried to live catch it, but no luck. Going to try again the the spring.

I swear that the next time I come thru Kiowa country this fall, I’m gonna stop and make it a point to meet you.

That’s funny as hell!
