Are you putting this in the religion forum, because you seek the advice of Pope Benedict? (As Cardinal Ratzinger, he’d drive the Vatican staff crazy by “adopting” many of Rome’s legendary feral cat population.)
I thought I had put it in “general” and “animal rights”. For my crazy neighbor, the rights of stray animals IS her religion. I told her I was allergic to cats and it made no impression. Living next to her has tested my worthiness to enter Heaven. I thoroughly dislike most cats, especially these worthless strays and my contempt has been made manifest in my relationsip with her. She does nothing all day but puts out food and talks about how she loves animals. If she loved them so much, she’d make sure they were neutered.
