[Hot Tabasco]

There are two ferals living under the deck of the house across the street from me and late yesterday afternoon, there was a third cat that appeared out of nowhere. The latest one was white and orange and appeared to be healthy and clean.

So, was the cat dumped in my sub or does it belong to someone who allows it to roam free? That poses a quandry.......

I just contacted the president of our homeowners association and told him about the cats and he said he would contact the management company to have them send out someone to trap the cats and take them to the local humane society. The homeowner will also be told to fence up the bottom of her deck so as to prevent animals from taking up residence there.

As for the new white and orange cat, if it's caught, it's going to the humane society and if it belongs to a resident, they're likely not going to see it again..........

People who own cats need to understand that unless they live on farms or rural areas, they should not be allowed out of the house.......

People where I live (very rural), don't leave their cats wander.

I sometimes despise this time of the year. Everything should be greened in, in a couple of weeks. After that, we get the annual pet dumping. From my home you can't see the road in the valley below.

We can time it to when the animals (if they survive) come out of the woods starving in the fall. Adds to all the other fun of living in a rural area.

Many pets are not tagged yet and that is why the local vets are pushing for mandatory implants. It would put an end to most of pet dumping.

We finally got our local feral population under control by aggressive trapping and neutering. I have reserved a special anger for those who dump their unfixed pets.
