After careful consideration of all of the enlightened arguments that have been made by those in favor of Trap-Neuter-Return for feral cats in recent blog posts , we here at 10,000 Birds have been completely convinced by their well-thought-out, logical, and airtight conclusions.

I find it astonishing that people argue of whether feral cats are bad for birds in North America. The plethora of approaches to the feral Cat problem is not an outcome of a diversity of great ideas; it is the ugly chimera of inappropriate compromise among biased and often poorly informed stakeholders.

A pet cat raising orphaned ducklings! That is, until the ducklings grow up, are released into a pond, and greet the local feral cat colony as long-lost relatives. An orphaned fawn who is best friends with the family’s German Shepherd! How cute!

Feral cats have been able to adapt very well in Australia and have grown larger over the years and can survive in areas that you would not expect. Feral cat predation on Pied Oystercatcher eggs. Both climate and terrain will keep some invasive species out of the northern part of Australia.

Feral cats are a huge problem in Australia and they do take a lot of the eggs. These are not pet cats, but cats that have only ever lived in the wild and can survive in extreme conditions.

I had a couple of dogs when I was a kid, but I mostly grew up with cats. I have a lot of patience with cats. I don't believe that any cat is unadoptable, even feral cats. I believe that a feral may never be a lap cat and they may never even let you pet them. To me, that means a lot.

A feral kitten captured and neutered by a small non-profit, somewhat militant organization, was on display at our local Massachusetts Society Prevention of Cruelty Association branch, which often took these feral cats in the hope of finding homes for them. Sasha spent about five months under Alison’s bed.

As anyone who follows this blog knows, outdoor cats are a veritable holocaust for wild birds, small mammals, reptiles, amphibians, and even insects. Almost every single outdoor pet cat, feral cat, or stray kills other animals , no matter how well fed the cat is through other sources. Play with them!

It’s the bane of many rehabbers that they simply can’t get through to cat owners on this critical issue of free-roaming pets. Short of legal restrictions on outdoor cats, what is the best way to bridge that understanding, one on one, and as a society?

The huge population of feral cats undoubtedly is having a detrimental effect on our bird life. On a local level we need to consider if we really do need to let our pets chase shorebirds and whether we really do need to drive along our shoreline. Until the problem with invasive species is addressed they will always be at risk.

Case in point: some of my family members have become active with feral cat colony organizations. It started with donation requests for spay and neutering cats but then quickly transferred to a trap, neuter and release organization. On the one hand, it’s better than doing nothing with a feral cat colony.

The common story on its demise was that it was wiped out by a single cat, a lighthouse keeper’s cat named Tibbles. Tibbles did contribute, but it was a population of feral cats that did the bulk of the killing. Ironically these are the same feral cats that exterminated the wren in the first place.
