My mother (my aunt's sis) will call the Animal Control and get the problem remedied. Yes I agree she really needs to stop feeding them but she said it is too cruel to have them starve.
Yep, she feeds them, its her responsibility. I know it would cause problems but it is much kindier and gentler not having these cats dying left and right, damaging property and neighbors are complaining lately. I know my aunt will be on the list to done by the animal control.
My sis and two other friends have adopted the kittens from her lot.....they were all put down before they were five years old due to the diseases they were transmitted or suffered effects from contengial genetic defects that did not show up later, FIV, particularly was very damaging. My sis had to put her cat down this year simply due to the FIV, her kidneys were failing, teeth falling off, expensive vet treatments and meds. My aunt even had the adacity to offer them a new kitten whenever her queens were expecting a litter soon. All of them said no and the cats were too expensive but they didnt have the heart to tell her that they were put down due to health issues.
As for FIV, she still has those two queens, producing three litters a year, all of them tested positive for FIV...what makes those queens stay alive?? Don't they die eventually of the disease?
I am very lucky in my neighborhood, feral cats are farther and fewer, we have more dogs in our backyards (I do not have a dog) and any barking from them would set the cat on his merry way. Even my hubby, at the sightest sound would "bark like a terrier" when he sees a cat coming up our house.
It is so funny to see the male cat go flying two blocks down the street!
