The cats around my house really don't bother me much, actually I'm usually trying to get them to come over to me so I can pet them. I just get mad when I get all these complaints about my dogs, and I think the cats are causing a lot more troubles then my dogs ever would. I do agree that a dog off leash roaming the neighborhood is a lot bigger problem then a free roaming cat. But I think the main reason why we have SO many cats around here, is because nobody spays/neuters them. I really think most of the cats that I see are most likely wild, which is sad. And I guess it depends on where you live to some extent, but I think that any animal that is allowed to live freely outside is in danger from people, cars, and other animals.
