‘There are solutions’

Epaminondas, the Veterinary Association president, said Cyprus’ cat population can be brought under control in as few as four years. This would be possible, he said, if authorities cobble together a unified sterilization plan that would put private clinics at the forefront of the effort by offering free-of-charge neutering without all the red tape that complicates the process.

“People will be more motivated to get cats neutered if we make it easier for them to do so,” he said.

His association has proposed a plan that would identify major cat concentration centers where authorities can round them up and take them for sterilization at designated vets. The initiative includes the creation of a smartphone application that would allow anyone to help authorities locate such large cat concentrations.

Cats are probably already motivated to get people neutered.

Sorry to say, but sterilization probably isn’t enough

Maybe open a few new Chinese restaurants and see if it makes a dent in the population?

They’ll probably have to import coyotes.

I would say send some American males over there; experienced at seeking pussy.

But that would be in poor taste.

P.S. Word is okay since Honor Blackman in Goldfinger.

And then Diamonds Are Forever.

My area has a robust feral spay/neuter program, as well as lots of coyotes. We still have a huge feral cat problem. It’s hard to stop Mother Nature.

Beautiful calicos in that pic, though.

Check out Alex Christoforou when he does his videos in Limassol or Athens, cats everywhere.

I’ve never understood why science can’t invent a birth control for cats and dogs that could be distributed in the woods or alleys wherever ferals are a problem.

They need to focus on the females. One male can handle 50 females. At least that is what my male cat says.

It would be interesting to know their mouse, rat, and snake populations.
