Not funny. Try stumbling across a sack of dead, drowned kittens, their bodies frozen in death because people are too stupid, too cheap, or too mean to neuter their cats.

So, do you suggest not using a sack and just setting them free to fend for themselves? That's the problem, not the solution.

I am sorry that you hold cats in such high esteem. You must not have any!

I hold the cats in higher esteem than the Clymer’s who owned them.

My 85 year old Dad in Detroit has three strays under his back porch. The Clymers left them when they were kicked out of the rental houses.

They are my Dad’s buddies, make sure when I take him shopping, we get food for them, also no trouble w/mice anymore.

Just remember, a lot of city people post here, please.

I signed up for your thread because I love cats, but lately it seems more and more cat haters are leaving cruel remarks
Why do you tolerate this?
It’s getting to where I don’t want to even look at the thread.

AMEN! Especially the sicko who posted the picture of the bag and bridge. Dear God I can't imagine people like that owning a pet.

People who would do things like that are sickos.
Most serial killers start out as animal abusers.

‘Cat ping’ could be a pleasant little daily pick-up, but instead it’s turning into a respository for sicko animal abusers.

I have always avoided the ‘horror stories’ on ‘Cat Ping’ but now even the supposedly uplifting, pleasant stories are ruined with sicko remarks from animal abusers.

I have no control over who posts on a thread. For that you need to talk to the mods or JimRob. If a post violates FR’s TOS, hit the abuse button.

The cat-haters are trolls. The nastiest thing you can do to them is to ignore them.

Or just post something, that don’t they respond to.

Still waiting for mine. Guess my Dad’s cats must have eating it.

Neutering male cats has virtually no effect on the feral cat population. It’s something that sane people do because it cuts down on violent catfights, and late-night-yowling, and makes it safe to let the cats in the house by eliminating the horrid scent in unfixed male cat pee. But the population is driven by the unspayed females. If there’s one unneutered male in several square miles, then every single unspayed female will be pregnant virtually all the time except when she still nursing young kittens. Cost-effective population control among ferals and free-roaming owned cats needs to focus on getting every single female spayed.
