I am so sick of the feral cat colonies that infest so many locations that I like to bird. And while I am sick of the cat colonies I am even more sick of the deluded people who believe that by feeding feral cats they are somehow helping them. Mr Kerridge says it is a misconception that cats kill a huge number of birds.

Thanks to groups like Alley Cat Allies, outdoor and feral cats have become above the law. Neighbor B’s cats are constantly on neighbor A’s property, urinating and defecating all over her garden, spreading disease, maiming and killing the birds who flock to her feeders. What birds need is their own SWAT team. What can she do?

The other day, Minneapolis, Minnesota passed a feral cat ordinance. So I put together a “carnival” (of sorts) of Feral Cat Ordinances and Issues that samples current events across the US.

Pretty standard.

Thanks to a relatively feral childhood I have been left immune to the power of poetry, so I shall dismiss the poetry (a form of art comparable at best to interpretive dance) with a simple dismissive wave of the hand. They are birds at their most composed, soaring effortlessly on thermals across the sky, and birds at their most feral.

There is a cat curfew for domestic animals in some states and a cull has been instigated to try to reduce the number of feral felines, currently estimated at 2 million. Cats hunt most actively in the hours around dawn and dusk, so please keep them in at these times. They rely on cover from which to launch their hunting attacks.
