    The last option in your poll indicates that you are not familiar with TNRM, as that is NEVER the attitude of the program volunteers.

    I believe it is sarcastic, her views on what catch and release is.

    Nope. The building management gets hinky if any pet is in the hall unleashed.

    No, mine are all indoor only. I live in a condo and our rules say that all cats must be indoor only or they'll be trapped and taken to a shelter or if they have ID tags on we may be fined for letting them roam free outside. Even if these weren't the rules, I'd still make all of my cats stay indoors only. It's so much safer and I always know where they are.

    I agree....

    My in-laws' cats are mostly outdoor cats, all are spayed and neutered and UTD on shots/dewormed, get them medical attention whenever they need it no questions asked and love them more than anything... but I guess they're irresponsible jerks, too...
