Please do not just turn your cats loose in the wild.

We live in the country. And in the last couple of months, we have had to kill at least 4 cats that city people dropped off in the country.

(The Humane Shelter no longer will pick up the animals. So they leave it to us to put the animals down in a "humane way." Usually a .22 in the back of the head.)

When I say turn it loose, I am thinking that it is better than abusing it.

I can't help but think about a dog that a neighbor of mine had tied to a tree. It was the middle of July and that dog was never given water. His ribs were showing. His bowl was always overturned. I never saw the people. That dog stayed tied to the tree all day with no water in 95 degree temperatures. And the creek was 10 yards away.
Finally one night I sneaked out there and cut his loose. He bolted for the creek and I haven't seen him since. My brother swears he lives with about 14 dogs on a farm down the road. i hope so.

That was unnecessary.
