When they were constructing homes here there were rats around, one got into our garage. He was about 3 times the size of a big mouse. Other neighbors were complaining about them too. It was the lunch bags left behind from the workers. Lately the new areas seem to be cleaner so someone must have looked after it.

Unless helped, homeless cats have short miserable lives. Putting a small dish food out in the morning stops some of the night predators getting it as you can take it back inside if not gone in a few hours. These homeless versus feral cats seem to know who the caring people are and when to come. They are fixed, vaccinated and just want to live.
