I know people are not going to like my saying this. Buy why? Why catch ferals? I took my cat Buster in but I wanted her. Why catch feral cats for the sake of catching them?
Dont get me wrong. I LOVE cats. I love cats more than people. But why must we catch them. Why not leave them alone. All these cats in shelters. Cats arent dogs. They are one of the few domesticated species that can survive if returned to the wild. Cats do not need us. Yes I know feral cats have a shorter life. But what we do with cats is the same as trying to catch all rabbits and putting them in shelters and homes. A pet rabbit does live longer than an outdoor rabbit. So do many other species if taken into homes or zoos.
In fact I am not even fully in support of the trap and fix idea either. Why? Why do that? How many other species do we do that to? Is it because some arrrogant human just doesnt like the idea of stray cats in their neighborhood. Cats do not need us. Even strays can make it on their own. I think we should just leave them be. Many of them are probably better off without us.
