At least, we find Res's true identity!  He's Bob Barker!

But I agree, people should have their pets fixed, unless they own them specifically for pedigree breeding or whatnot.

I'm glad you clarified that.

Hmmm.  I guess Res doesn't want to visit my farm then.  We currently have 6 batches of kittens, and 1 or 2 more on the way.  Counting the kittens, we have about 30 cats.  Most are just stray cats that showed up here, and decided to stay.  I figure about half will make it through the next winter, and then they will multiply again!


AWWW!!! THEY'RE SUCH CUTE WITTLE KITTIES! 

Yeah - especially if people are dumping them there.
Farms are different anyway as they provide some rodent control.

Don't forget crickets and grasshoppers...cats eat crickets and grasshoppers too.


That cat food company ran an ad for the food that cats just naturally crave, then they presented their "beef" flavored cat food.  When was the last time you saw a housecat take down a cow for dinner?

well, not a housecat...

Some of our cats do pile up on the cows to sleep.  And the cows generally lay down when the cats hop up there, so I guess it could happen (it'd take a hell of a lot of cats though...)

Do calves count?



We do feed the cats milk, water, and food (they go through 40lbs a week! ), and they do a pretty good job of taking care of the mice and rats and birds and rabbits and, well you get the point.

Our cats seem to prefer turkey and chicken over beef, though there was a bit of a tussle over that beef liver and heart my dad gave them last year.  Seems a few of the tomcats thought they should all get the same piece... 

Meef loves the chicken and gravy!

Meef has no balls.

Both of my furry-kins (one male chihuahua, one female cat) have been fixed.

Actually, a couple of neighborhoods in my area have feral cat problems. What's worse, people actually put food out for the cats, but don't provide them with shelter or medical care. Then the cats use everyone's yards as big litter boxes.
I love cats and dogs but I feel that feeding feral cats only makes their lives more miserable because it leads to overpopulation.
I think the county animal control is gonna round up some of the strays. Hopefully they'll tell people to stop feeding the cats.  Some of the neighbors in my aunt's neighborhood have complained to the dummies feeding the feral cats. However, some of them responded with a nasty attitude and said they could feed the cats if they felt like it and no one else is taking care of them. Cats are very good at taking care of themselves. If I'm going to feed a feral cat, I'm gonna let it live in my house and take it to the vet and get it fixed and give it shots. Whatever, I'm gonna let the county yell at them.

My mom took in a stray that was already pregnant.  They gave all the kittens to homes where they are all cared for, and they were all fixed.  Their next door neighbor, however, is a HUGE problem.  They have one or two cats, but don't  get them fixed, and never keep them inside.  So every few months, there is an outbreak of kittens around the neighborhood.  Most are feral, which is sad.  They just don't care.  I hate people like that.  But since they don't actually keep all the cats, and turn them out into the cold, they don't feel that there is anything wrong
