    Yes - the problem is with people, and not cats. As long as kitty isn't fixed and is allowed to roam, then the issue will just escalate.
    EXCELLENT! Thank you, ABC commentator and Ellie.

    Here's the Times today with an editorial on the subject. Their recommendation as a solution for feral predators: ".. euthanasia for feral cats as the unpalatable response to reducing the wildlife slaughter."

    Sure kill all the cats then complain when mice and rats over run their homes. Do they never think that they help keep other animals from over populating the world? sheesh

    If they want to kill preditors, they should start with certain humans.
    No matter what anyone does, someone some where will be offended some how!!!!
