A well-written article.
We have two cats who came into our life that way — just showed up and we fed them. We were very rural and had only a few neighbors, none of whom admitted to owning them. So they’ve been ours for 10 years now. Maybe they belonged to people farther away than our small enclave. But at least they’re safer indoors with us than roaming among the coyotes and monster-sized raccoons that were everywhere.
I thought maybe I could start trapping them and getting them neutered but the first night I set the trap out I caught an opossum then the next night I caught a damn skunk.......That was the end of my trapping.
