Most people don't take their cats or parrots for walks.

We are getting a renaissance downtown. We've got designer restaurants and designer dogs, and (people) would like to have a designer cup of coffee with their designer dog.

It becomes a big problem because people see these cats and are more likely to approach them than they would be to approach a fox or a skunk. With a feral cat, you never know if it's approachable.

People often justify letting their cats breed because they know they can find homes for the kittens. But when you look at the big picture, it isn't that simple. Every litter contributes to a larger problem.

A lot of people are allergic to cat dander, and bathing the cats helps a lot.

If they were released in the wild, they wouldn't be able to hunt for food or protect themselves.
