Feral cats can raise hell with the local wildlife. I have a few rogues here abouts that are a problem, luckily my dog keeps them clear of my area. People move and leave them behind or just abandon them for other reasons. They quickly revert to their wild nature especially when they haven’t been fixed. Irresponsible people don’t realize how much harm they do.

All they need to do is say they’ll begin providing free reproductive healthcare for the pregnant cats, then abort the litters. Everyone is happy.

The Googleplex… Socialism underwritten by Capitalism.
Whut a wunderful proving ground for mind control.

So Google rents a patch from the Xing, sets up a kitchen and starts feeding cats – on the patch they’re renting from the Xing.
And Owls-R-Us rents the patch next door, from the Xing, sets up a kitchen and starts feeding owls – on the patch they’re renting from the Xing.
What? Oh. Never mind…

Have the homeless discovered the Google campus with its free food, or is there a big beautiful wall around it?

OK,OK….but please lay off the cats = liberals. Not good to equate our beautiful, independent, freedom loving, and inquisitive furry friends with, ugh, liberals.
Dirty rats = liberals is a much better analogy.

Bring on the hate, kill all feral cats.

Anon – they’re renting from the Xing?

Naw.
The Xing is “our” gender non-constrainable, fabuglorious, overlord. Whom I welcome!

What about deer xing (someone put up a handmade suicidal deer xing sign on Hwy 195 just S. of Colfax, Wa.), game xing (but which one) and my favorite turtle xing (slow down for turtles, duh!) on Hwy. 200 in N. Idaho along Pend Oreille Lake, N. of Sandpoint going towards Montana. RR xing, better watch out for those trains. I wonder if there is such a sign as a crossdresser’s xing (watch out for trannies and drag Queens), but it would only be in San Francisco, Seattle etc.)?

Imagine that, it was the logging industry ‘killing’ owls in the 80’s and now it ’18 and it’s Goolag employees are doing it?!
OH the IRONY!!!

A sore point for me.
We have official Feral Colonies here in Dallas. They have people registered that monitor, feed, and catch them for neutering if they can – but they get released right back where they were.
A learning center had a big flea problem every year and the first time they called me I went down the checklist of what needs to happen to get rid of them completely in the shortest time.
The starting point is the animals. Without control over them, you can’t control the fleas completely. You can lessen the problem to where you don’t see as many in about 3-4 weeks, but they come back just fine after a while if they are allowed to live on the animals.
Them: We don’t have any animals in the buildings.
Me: Then you don’t have a flea problem in your buildings. You have them outside and they are jumping on you as you approach the building. You’re just not noticing them until later.
Them: OOOOh yes! We have several cats that are always around the break area and that is full of fleas too.
They first chose to leave the cats alone. Two years later the manager had had enough of that nonsense. “Catch them and do whatever with them, just don’t let them go near here”. I don’t release cats anywhere, but I didn’t mention that. That’s actually a $1,500 fine from the state if you are caught letting ANY animal go on someone’s property without their permission.
So it turned into a trapping and flea job by the second year.
Caught two cats and an opossum the first night.
I have brought trapped animals home for the city to come pick up since 1986. Maybe over 4000.
I leave them out front in the shade, call the city and do the usual back and forth going through their script. I leave a note on one trap that satisfies their requirements if I’m not there when they arrive.
That time was different. I came home to empty traps (as expected) and a note on the door from Animal Control (unexpected).
“The two cats had an ear notch signifying they belong to a feral cat colony, so we let them go. You must have a colony nearby. Also, we have stopped taking wild life so we let the `possum go too.”
IN MY FRONT YARD! They were caught 15 miles away!
Once the learning center was told of this we had to go black ops to get the rest of the cats. No one sees me come and set traps and no one sees the traps at all. Not easy and not always do-able. All but two people there wanted the cats left alone -they weren’t paying for the pest control. One of the two that didn’t want the cats there is a home customer of mine and she calls the shots.
Yes, I have to be stealthy, in general, when I trap, Or, at least place the traps well within a fenced area the public or neighbors aren’t contemplating what they see. I can assure you any trap seen by someone that “loves animals” is going to jack with it to free the animal. Probably destroying my trap in the effort. Now it was a known thing that I was to trap and remove them regardless of their colony status. My traps were in jeopardy every night after that.
Love those cats all you want, but they were imposing a cost to the property users. Over $1,200.00 a year in several flea jobs. No one has a right to do that. It’s a risk of disease, too.
I think these people that run these colonies should be billed for any costs they cause others because of their feel-good ways. I’m thinking they have the same mindset as socialists. Free health care for everyone! Free cats everywhere! What can go wrong?!
