And certainly don’t move to Cyprus if you’re allergic!

Agreed.

Killing them is going to be needed.

Hopefully, it was not causing you any discomfort.

I just remembered this song, I think it was penned by Al Yankovic, the famous American comedy singer and parodist.

This is why Hubert Long invented the .22 Long rifle cartridge.

Cyprus?! Those are rookie numbers you have to get them up. Come to Sicily to see an out-of-control cat population lol.

That’s what I was noticing. There are some FAT cats in that picture. There are some fixed ferals that I try to keep around by feeding. A small female really does hunt mice. The FAT male steals her food and I don’t think he does much but wait for food to be put in his bowl.

In Israel, Jerusalemites complain about a reported 250,000 feral cats in their 50 or so square miles. It’s against the law to kill them.

There is a decent percentage of the human race that may be allergic. The world's probably littered with them.
Rimshot!

Someone speeded this up, probably to avoid copyright strike.

One male can handle 50 females. At least that is what my male cat says.

So your cat is Mormon? Tell your cat it's a piker, Brigham Young had 56 wives.

My area has a robust feral spay/neuter program,

My area has a TNR program as well. But it's all a big, frickin scam....

The only days you can bring them in to the local humane society is on Tue, Wed, and Thurs, by appointment only.

So you trap the cat on the weekend and keep it in the trap for several days?

I found three kittens last summer and attempted to turn them in to the local humane society, but they wouldn't take them until they were tested for FIV. Even tho they had a vet facility on site, they wouldn't do the testing since I wasn't a client.

I had to take them to a walk in clinic where I had to sit for an hour with the kittens before they were tested. Then make an appointment with the director of the humane society to bring the kittens in the following week. Cost me $50 per kitten and the testing only cost me $50 for the three of them.

They claim there is a feral cat problem but there is no viable effort to actually control them. My experience is that it's quite the opposite

That is very sad to hear. I guess every area is different as to how many resources are available & people’s willingness to do what should be done. The humane society where I volunteer provides low-cost vouchers, & we pick up the balance of the bill. People do have to work around availability of the local vet. I’m actually surprised at how many people take advantage of our program. This being a rural area, I’d expect more people to have a ‘let nature take it’s course’ attitude.

As a side note, I stopped into a vet clinic in Sterling Heights, MI, called Serenity Animal Hospital, whose website promises all kinds of nice things for their clients.

My intent was to get the three kittens tested for FIV, which takes no time at all.

They told me the soonest appointment would be in eight weeks......WTF!!!!!

When you get overrun with any feral animals, it’s the only solution.
