I moved to the country 24 years ago and have decided feeding stray dogs and cats is not a good idea. ;0)
Yeah, I know what you mean. We get a lot of puppies and kittens dumped on our road. However, the coyote population has reached sufficient numbers now that they usually don't last long. One of the my neighbors near my farm started feeding two stray cats. Turned out, both were preggo. That was about a year ago. Now, they have about 15 cats. Nary a mouse to be had, though.....and it certainly keeps my 3 Labs entertained....
