"Oh as for the cats I just read of a peruvian cat feast festival.The native people where forced to eat their cats to survive when the white man invaded their country.Now it is like a rememberance festival.Ofcourse many asians eat the felines as well.Plenty of kitty recipes out there! JK!!!!!"
Seeing your avatar pic this shocked me but also cracked me up. The allowing of the dogs to run free kills me, but the cats are a whole other story. Since they started building their kitchen 3+ years ago they have had their cats up here. They started with 2 and there are 4 or 5 now. All of them almost to the point of being feral. When they did not "live" there someone would come up at least once a week to put out a bag of food. That just bothers me. First off what's to say the cats are the ones eating the food? What if one gets injured? Propper shelter? The cats split when people are around. I catch them over here the most, usually at night. Fortuantly my free range birds during the summer prefer to roost on top of our dogs pens (the two who are outside) and the cats won't come close to their pens. But I have lost a few birds that I don't know who or what got them, always ones that are not roosting with the dogs. Now that it is getting colder I am worried about their choice of roosting and if the cats will be able to get in. I know two of my roos would fight one a bantam, and another a cochin but the cats are bigger than them. But the 4 Rhode Island Red roos are huge and I am sure out weigh the cats and may be able to take them, but they are kinda sissies.
