I just love the gooey cat poop I find when working in my flower beds. My main reason for cat control as stringent as I have to be with my dogs.

How do you know it's from cats? Of all the many cats I've had since a child, not one had gooey poop. Ask any of our dogs.:(

Much press is given to the occasional cat that is taken, but billions of birds and mammals are tortured by cats, many times just for fun.

"Outdoor cats are the leading cause of death among both birds and mammals in the United States, according to a new study, killing 1.4 billion to 3.7*billion birds each year.

The mammalian toll is even higher, concluded researchers from the Smithsonian Conservation Biology Institute and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, ranging from 6.9 billion to 20.7*billion annually."

And without this predation, would the same number of birds and small mammals have starved to death??? It's similar to hunters and the deer population when their numbers exceed the food supply

I have seen them climb my fence and dig a hole. That is how I know. Don't think too many dogs are coming over the fence. I do like cats bit in their owners home and not my yard.

I can't argue with that. We have a stray that leaves presents in our side yard. I know because I've seen him. They're not gooey, thankfully.

Last week, for the very first time I went to a Flea Market. I was bored. I don't even like Fleas or saw any for sale.

I think you got it wrong. The flea market is for the fleas to buy and sell---humans are not welcome,------- unless they bring their cat

Ha ha...you must have stolen my cat...he has the same Mr Nuzzly disposition and looks exactly like yours!
