Given your subject line, when I first saw the newspaper photograph I thought you were reporting on people who were being horrid to the cats! Just the opposite of course. Congratulations on your good work and being recognized by the city. I'm relieved that this tide is turning in some areas and councils etc. are realizing that people in your position are simply taking on rejected responsibilities of others and reducing the amount of work the council has to do. And that's quite something, looking attractive in a grainy newspaper photograph.
