It was not trouble. It took a grand total of one hour of my entire life. I'd
prefer to spend an hour being part of the solution than a minute as part of the
problem. People will never change. Cats are not aware they are doing anything
wrong. So, to end my own angst, I did what I did and so far I've not had a
problem with cats or anything else. My wish is for it to stay like that, but
should it not stay like that, I will figure out another solution.

I don't "have" to do anything. I do it because it's now done. I have no other
wisdom on it.

Thanks to another poster (playful spirit) I stopped sending cats to
the pound, but damn frustrating finding dead finches in the yard!!!

I know. It breaks my heart to see anything dead. I can't watch ordinary animal
shows where they show predator and prey. I wouldn't do anything intentionally
to hurt an animal. Shit, the squirrels ate half my peaches, one bite of each,
but now there are about a thousand butterflies using the nectar.

There is no real answer to problems of feral cats, or for assholes who let
their cats out. The same people who let their cat out to be trapped have
another cat, who they let out! I don't get it, but I certainly won't waste any
energy on it, either.

And I hope someone takes your kids when they happen to miss the
sidewalk and step on someone elses lawn.

Hope all you want. I have no kids. Don't want them, either. Don't really care
for them enough to have them. I love my nieces, but they go home.
