Well, I can see that this was trying for a fairly humorous note, but I must say I agree with the owner of the dog that was bitten by the cat. If the dog (in it's own yard) had killed a cat that wandered into the yard, the owner of the wandering cat would have been up in arms about it. I have always advocated leash laws for cats as well as dogs. Free ranging cats poop in your flowers, kill your song birds, squirrels and rabbits, spread disease, make tons of noise outside you windows at night and tear up garbage bags like there's no tomorrow. I believe that feral cats in Australia have become enough of a problem that they (the Australians) are trying to hunt them out and eliminate as many as they can. Feral cats in rural America are a royal pain, as bad as feral dogs, if not worse.
Janice I agree with you, my cats remain indoors.....more because I worry what could happen to them more than any thing. Besides my white cat (the old lady-10yrs) is the only one in the house that commands respect from my squirley AmStaff Lilly.... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

I'm glad to hear you take very good care of your resident felines. I have known people (and I've been one, too) who were responsible cat owners. Cats can be leash trained, if you start them young enough. And I've known lots of people who fixed up a nice outdoor, secure place for their cats, too. Cats like to be outside, and really need to be outside, just not 'at large'. I had cats all my life until I hit my mid-thirties and just suddenly developed an allergy to them. Luckily, I didn't happen to have a resident kitty at the time, because I would have just had to go on meds until the kitty passed on, but I don't take on any more home cats. I knew roaming cats were a royal pain in the behind when I was living in town, but it wasn't until I moved to the country that I knew what a real menace they are. (My bad - we still feed the feral cats around here, contradictory, I know, but we don't feed them much and mostly they live off rodents in our fields and barns)
