If you want to help the stray cats, then bring them into your home. If you are not willing to do that, then you have no right to expect the other people in your building to put up with the noise, etc., that they will be causing outside as their numbers grow. If you are not willing to have the cats in your home, then it strikes me as a bit selfish and hypocritical to expect your neighbors to put up with this burden.

Actually I agree. The cats do make some noise, mating and fighting and my neighbors shouldn't have to hear it. It probably wasn't a good idea to start feeding them, but it's hard when you see how cute they are hanging around and hungry. I jut got angry when I saw that guy out there yelling at a kitten.


I decided that if I want to feed the cats, I still can. This is a country town and I can move the food dish a ways back and hopefully they'll start hanging out there instead of near the building. Sound good?

Sounds a bit better - add some rat poison and wow cat problem solved Razz

I think cars kill 99% of all cats btw...I've seen quite a few "road meat" cats while driving in this country.

(joking about the poison - I am not that evil YET Twisted Evil )

Cats are not a spoiled and indulged species. Cats have jobs. They clear away mice and rats (which are quite prevalent here, given the way that garbage is piled up in specific locations), and in Thailand the smarter ones can take out those roaches which are only slightly smaller than a Tico. I rest my case.

I believe Jeffrey Dahmer got his start by killing cats.
