] That's great. Wish we had more of those by my parents' neigborhood -- home of the neighbors who got a female cat, didn't spay her, but then let her roam free outside -- apparently they were under the impression that this is how all cats prefer to/should live, outside 24/7, even though my folks live in a large subdivision that's not very far from main roads/highways! We also live in the midwest where seasons range greatly from extreme cold in the winter (far below zero at times,) to today, which was nearly 100. Then - shock! - when she couldn't have been more than 6 months old, we noticed she was pregnant. They kept one kitten but I have no idea whatever became of the others. The cat they kept is a male. Not neutered. Female is still not spayed as far as I know. Between that household and the few others that let their unfixed animals roam, it's only a matter of time before the subdivision is overwhelmed with cats. [
