I'm not so sure about releasing feral cats,if you manage to catch one, they do so much damage to wildlife. Even though it is sad to kill a wild cat, it's sadder that all the native animals it will eat are disappearing - some forever.Kirsty @ Bowerbird Bluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12511849105347338654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6058348433457658776.post-18137664037834881802011-09-10T17:54:06.040+10:002011-09-10T17:54:06.040+10:00Great photos kirsty, but i hate cats as they give ...Great photos kirsty, but i hate cats as they give me hayfever besides what they do to the environmentLesley@early playhttp://earlyplay.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6058348433457658776.post-22007672592471547022011-09-09T19:14:07.772+10:002011-09-09T19:14:07.772+10:00Love them, especially ours!

Too many are hit by cars or killed by foxes or other predators, not to mention the number of birds etc that the cats themselves kill.<br /><br />Virtually every cat I've had in my adult life was a "stray" that obviously belonged to someone at some point in their life. I'm sure some of them were just abandoned, but I'm also sure that some got spooked, ran off, and never found their way back home again. So much heartache could be saved if people would just keep them indoors.<br /><br />I'm also a strong advocate of getting cats fixed. But even if people don't fix their cats, if they'd keep them inside they wouldn't be out mating and making more kittens who can end up homeless.<br /><br />All that being said, I also have a soft spot for the so-called "feral" cats who are the offspring of lost or homeless strays. These cats have never known human contact and it's really hard to tame them. In that case I believe the best thing to do is to trap, neuter and release them. At least that way they can have some sort of a life and won't be making more homeless cats.<br /><br />Sorry to go on and on, but if you ask a cat person how they feel about cats...<br /><br />:)EcoCatLadyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15704811319510740473noreply@blogger.com
