At the house of one of our customers i saw probably 20 cats outside in the back yard that ran from me and maybe 30 paper plates on an outside porch all with cat food on them.
The main reason i called the city was because one cat looked like it had been attacked by a wild animal and was still in shock. half his face looked red and infected and he was walking sideways real slow and stiff. he 100% needed to see a vet yesterday. The customers werent home to ask them about the cat and I wont be back that way anytime soon so i called the city.
animal control said they'd go out and check on him. hopefully soon, the cat was in bad shape.

(14,177 posts)I hope it is someone who is just feeding ferals, but probably not. In any case it's better to get feral cats spayed and neutered if they can be caught and released. I have no problem with feeding wild cats, but I don't like the idea of them building colonies and killing off all the wild song birds.

They all have full basements under their houses, that I just do not walk down into. Sis just got her first semi trailer, "you know, so I have room to sort". It is not easy, to part with things. And Costco loves us all dearly.
