They must be getting really desperate to scrounge up new votes.

What are they planning to do - age some fish, then set it out with cameras to catch the action?
That might work for the sick and weak. The good hunters are going to watch from cover.

As long as they are not spending our taxdollars on this nonsense, they can count the blades of grass at the White House and the stars in the sky.
Cats are extremely prolific. Like rabbits. Given that, I doubt very seriously the count will be accurate.

I think some of the Asian restaurants in Falls Church a few years ago had an innovative way of managing the cat population and increasing chicken sales.

Are cats that identify as dogs counted as cats? This could get confusing.

I hate cats!
That's what I tell my cats all the time. They ignore me as usual. Unless they want out or are out of food or want a door opened or want me to put water in the bathroom sink so they can get a drink or..............

“Catch, spay/neuter, and release.”
We did that for a couple years around our home for a couple years; it works, but is so much work! Now that we’ve moved and are citified, we see no stray/feral cats.

There are only 5. They just make it everywhere. Double accounting.
