There's a town in VT that wants to make everyone keep their cats on leashes. Pretty lame if you ask me. Here's part of the article...

"Scientists estimate that free-roaming cats kill hundreds of millions of birds, small mammals, reptiles and amphibians each year," the Virginia-based American Bird Conservancy, which runs a "Cats Indoors!" campaign, says on its website. "Cat predation is an added stress to wildlife populations already struggling to survive habitat loss, pollution, pesticides, and other human impacts."

I was going to make a joke about keeping the cats on leashes hanging from trees, but I can't be that cruel to animals. So I'll just say screw the cats, let 'em go free.

It's called natural selection.

It's called population control... Cats kill rodents - we don't want mice and rats running around our homes. I trained my cats to wear a leash without drama, but that was so I could take them to the vet and have something to hang on to should they freak out. All they need to do is spay and neuter, that reduces the roaming by them.

What a group of Morons.....

I hate free roaming cats. Huge nuisance.

My Tony stays right in our yard...he has such a good thing he doesn't want to stray too far.. :roflmao: He showed up in our yard like 3-4 years ago, meowing, I fed him a can of tunafish and he's been w/us ever since... ;-)
