Mandatory neutering and microchiping of cats has been introduced here recently.Kathy from Tasmaniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13850663369041062353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1357105223288312642.post-59939219925980836582014-02-10T08:38:41.144-05:002014-02-10T08:38:41.144-05:00Oh, feral cats multiply very quickly! They really...Oh, feral cats multiply very quickly! They really are just strays...not pets. Everyone gets their pets neutered over here. The humane society told me that two feral cats can multiply to 25 in one year...and those kittens are ready to reproduce themselves at 3 months of age. It can easily reach 200 cats just from the original two in one year's time! There is an apartment complex for the elderly nearby and they don't claim those strays as pets, but they feed them and enjoy their companionship. But they multiply! ha. I've seen much fewer in our neighborhood, probably thanks to my zoo here. lol.... I'll just keep at it! I haven't seen Slate since I snapped that picture, though, so who knows if he will be back.Betsy Brockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06807795605763246015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1357105223288312642.post-89404975211341276092014-02-10T08:34:33.053-05:002014-02-10T08:34:33.053-05:00yes...it almost looks out of place! ha.yes...it almost looks out of place! ha.Betsy Brockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06807795605763246015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1357105223288312642.post-33231538056447877872014-02-10T04:45:05.473-05:002014-02-10T04:45:05.473-05:00I am very excited to see you have acquired another...I am very excited to see you have acquired another cat. Well, maybe! And how kind of Tiger to invite him! But, what I don't understand is where all these cats keep coming from? Do people not routinely neuter their pets over there? Are they all strays that have just been wandering the streets? I am intrigued. You do a fantastic job, and I kind of secretly envy you! (I only have two kitties!)<br /><br />Kathy from Tasmania.

I hope the other kitties will remember their past and eventually welcome him in… if he so chooses. I swear that, except for Marmalade, you co-ordinate your cats with your décor!<br /><br />Mrs. Cardinal looks content… I know the Misters are always more flamboyant, but I love her attire too.<br /><br />New coats, new hats – the boys are all set. I like those shoes – I am looking for something similar for easier walking. Kind of treacherous out there these days.<br /><br />Sorry I did not get my random acts of kindness in – has been quite difficult to get out this past week. I did a few things but I think they were more everyday things that I do anyway so they don’t really “count.” And a couple of them are long-term and I may not be able to post about them until after February is over! But I will let you know. <br /><br />By the way, my Mom’s birthday was yesterday (Feb. 7) and I gave her your cat calendar! She is a huge lover of cats too, and she really enjoyed it and thinks what you’re doing is great! <br />Suzahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16684999144031013661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1357105223288312642.post-57826100563152027152014-02-08T22:53:23.788-05:002014-02-08T22:53:23.788-05:00Not always.
