Hasn't been an issue so far, but easily could be.
A kitten adopted our neighbor sometime last spring/summer. Like everything else, they feed it, but it stays outside. Well, it was not spayed, so little kitten found herself pregnant. She had a litter late last summer and now there are lots of those getting older kittens that hang around their house. So far, I've not seen any of those cats come into the yard, they seem to stay over there. And I'm sure those kittens will be having kittens soon..... so I'm seeing a feral colony of cats living near us. Do I need to worry about them if they do decide to check out our yard (way dumb idea with 3 large dogs that will just chase them and likely kill them if caught - no idea if they will see it is cat outside do not eat - either way, not smart for a cat to hang out over here. But if they are dumb enough to go over/through the fence, will I need to worry about the ducks and a cat (cats)?
If there are more litters, I'm thinking about taking one to use for rodent/snake control (and have that one spayed/neutered at least)
