UNIVERSITY PARK, Texas, - Members of the Southern Methodist University feral cat program in Texas said the George W. Bush presidential library will leave the felines without a home.
Althea Webb, a volunteer with the university-funded program, said feral cats are relocated every time the school demolishes or creates a building and their current home, the future site of the George W. Bush Presidential Center, is difficult to move the felines away from because of the difficulty in getting the cats to migrate across streets, The Dallas Morning News reported Wednesday.
"It's hard to move cats," Webb said. "Cats don't like to move."
She said volunteers move the colonies of feral cats by relocating shelters by small increments.
Webb said she is concerned officials with the Bush library will want the cats completely off the property.
"The Bush library is going to want to be new and beautiful," she said. "We'd love to have elegant matching kitty condos, but we're not going to do that."
Okay, am I the only one who sees the absurdity of feral cats having a fixed residence?
They can't move because Bush did nothing to address cat obesity...Bush's Fault!
That’s funny— I was never a huge Bush fan and now my Mother laughs at me, I wish EVERYDAY to have Bush back!
I NEVER doubted Bush loved this country and I knew he would do whatever it took to protect the country we love.
Another reason to HATE GW Bush!
You are 100% right. I am a cat lover, have raised over 100 cats through the years, and yet...
Feeding feral cats is a BAD idea! Feral cats will just breed and breed, leading to a short nasty life for most of them. If they feed them, they had better spay and neuter as well. Even outright extermination is preferable to uncontrolled feral cat populations, because dogs and people will do the job when the population gets out of control. And uncontrolled feline AIDS and other feline diseases will infect domestic cat populations.
I also miss Laura Bush, she was a very classy First Lady...I don’t think she got proper recognition.
I hope one day she gets the recognition she so deserved.
It is obvious GW and Laura are in love, GW would be lost without Laura.
Evil Bush. Just when you thought you had gotten rid of the despicable swine, you find that he’s still out there throwing cats out of their only home and making them homeless.
I’ll bet he ties tin cans to their tails, too, and laughs as they run away in horror.
(Is a sarcasm tag really necessary here?)
The Secret Service was NOT amused:
The school has made it a practice to move the kitties everytime it needed to but now, it’s an issue.
(Bush’s fault.)
Well at least they didn’t blame global warming for the feline herding problem.
You wantz for me to move?
I iz one meeean puddy cat!
