| #7 SPoD and Sgt. Mom. the head cat around here is feral as hell... double feral. Fell from a tree when she had just opened her eyes. The other regular cats understand somehow the feralnisitiy (lol) and respect it. |

| #6 Kittens have to be accustomed to, and be held by humans from the very first, in order to adjust well to being a pet. A feral mother will never let you near her kittens,and by the time they are out and about, and encountering humans, it is almost always too late. We had a mother cat who let us handle her babies from the beginning, and they all made wonderful, well adjusted pets. |

| #5 If I need another cat I don't think I would have a hard time finding one right here in the neighborhood. People don't spay and nuter. I am all for the shelter route if you can get a non feral kitten. It hard to ge6 the wild out of them even if you raise them from kittens. Momma has a wild gene she passes I think. I have had to trap feral Cats. It's a bummer to know they will be put down but you can't have then repropducing in the bushes and they will like rabbits. |

| #2 That's where we get our cats. This is one of the stupidest things I've heard of, but it costs too much to happen too often. Good thing is, it will get a lot of play in the press and give shelter operators a venue to bring up all the pets they have for adoption. |

| #1 Sigh. I work in the animal shelter on weekends. There are so many cats (and dogs) in there. All three Samoyeds I've had are/were from the pound. |
