Hard to imagine nowadays, this majestic mountain setting was a major communist guerilla stronghold in the Greek Civil War (1946-1949) and the region is scarred by the events and the memories of them. Like many others, this village was totally abandoned and only recently repopulated, with a current population of only 18 people.

So I put together a “carnival” (of sorts) of Feral Cat Ordinances and Issues that samples current events across the US. Nonprofit pet protection groups would manage the program and be responsible for ensuring that cat caretakers take the required steps. The other day, Minneapolis, Minnesota passed a feral cat ordinance.

Harassed by the Ravens, it landed on a snag halfway up the cliff and hunched over its prize protectively. It flared its wings, and the Osprey flared to match but refused to abandon the fish. If these two events were fables, the Ravens would have switched roles in mere minutes from big hulking bullies to cunning, dogged little fighters.

Before the recent events you had to really dig around on the National Audubon Society’s website before you finally got to this page on cats. On 14 March, 2013, the Orlando Sentinel published an opinion piece by Ted Williams under the headline “Trap, neuter, return programs make feral-cat problem worse.” That is pathetic.

In any event, by mid summer or so, the babies are not so small and more or less do OK on their own and hang around the nest. The adults move to flocks, there may be two or three of them, that hang out mostly far off shore in the larger part of the lake, abandoning their embayments or otherwise protected areas.
