[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I hate cats and I am allergic to them. I also dislike all the cats that just roam the neighborhood. Unlike a dog, you can’t kwwp them in a fenced yard. I hate seeing cats that have been hit by cars or mangled by fox on my street. The beheaded cat presumably attacked by a fox was then devoured by buzzards!!! In my neighbor’s front yard and scared the crap out of my 4yr old. This is in a dense part of N. Arlington, not some rural location.

I hate seeing cats stalking my neighbor’s bird feeder. I hate seeing them sunbathing on my deck and shitting in my sandbox and planters. I hate finding dead mice, moles, baby squirrels killed by feral or roaming cats. I hate the additional feral cats that are conceived with help from roaming pet cats.

Why not just don’t have cats at all? What purpose do they serve that a dog cannot? [/quote]

Cats are great pets for many, that's not the point. But I question where PPs who claim to have long-living indoor/outdoor cats actually live. I live in Bethesda and in the last few months there have been a number of missing cats posted on the list-servs. Fewer than half were found alive. Dense traffic-y close-in suburban neighborhoods? Not remotely safe for cats to roam outside.[/quote]

I live in Chevy Chase, and there are some indoor/outdoor cats in the neighborhood.  Cats aren't stupid.  It's not like they're hurling themselves into oncoming traffic.  Obviously, there will be incidents, but I've seen dead raccoons in my neighborhood but never a dead cat.[/quote]
