Droves of cats and kittens are swarming into animal shelters nationwide, and global warming is to blame, according to one pet adoption group.

what will they NOT blame on climate change/global warming??
Cats know to swarm into animal shelters when it gets warmer?
Fascinating.
So, they do this every summer then?
(When an animal shelter loses it’s lease, how do the cats spread the word about the new address?)
Smart Cats. Knowing where the humane shelters are in each town.
That looks like MY cat “Stinky” and that is a bunch of BS. Stinky was a stray. All of our cats were strays except the Siamese we got at animal shelter in 2000. I see fewer and fewer strays all the time. About 11 or 12 years ago they were all over the place and we adopted some of them. Now we rarely see them. That is how we used to get our pets, strays that showed up. Now it is so rare for a stray to show up. And we have been living in three homes. Denver, So California, and Gulf Coast Texas. We had three homes. Now we are just on Gulf Coast. I always try to catch every stray cat and either keep it or take it to humane society. Been doing this since 1972.
Dogs and cats living together, mass hysteria...

Maybe PETA’s killing off all the strays now.
By the way, we adopted
Gretchen in 1972 in Stillwater Ok (deceased)
Ginger 1984 Clute Texas (deceased)
Georgie 1993 Lake Jackson Texas (deceased)
Alexander BoBo 1995 Lake Jackson Texas (deceased)
Kirby 1995 Lake Jackson Texas
Oliver 1995 Clute Texas (deceased)
Stinky 1997 Brazoria Texas
Squirt 1999 Lake Jackson Texas (she lives in Austin with my daughter)
Jasmine 2000 Houston Texas
Sambo 2002 Claremont California
Carl 2004 Clute Texas
Graybaby and Spot 2005 Lake Jackson Texas
Logan and his sister 2005 Lake Jackson Texas (gave them to other owners)
All strays except the late BoBo and Jasmine whome we bought.
The rest were strays we found on the road or near our home.
Not all of them are still living. They are all neutered or spayed. Well fed fat fluffy house cats who are not allowed to roam outdoors at all unless we are right three with them in our own fenced in back yard. Too many huge alligators here on the coast. They do attack. Biggest one in this neighborhood was 11.5 ft long, chasing neighbor’s dog in his yard, not fenced in. He lives on a lake. Lake Jackson is basically a swamp like Houston.
I don’t have a mouse problem with my cat...but my dog ate my wireless mouse recently.
That's because they are all going to the shelter, they heard they have to share humans at your house, LOL!
I have an all white cat, too. Kirby is all white and he is 12 years old. He is a sweety.
We have an all black cat like that one, named Sambo.
