Good point. I'm a pet lover, so I hate to think that a cat may be is lost and hungry.

If you're letting your cat out on a lanai that is only screened that is a big mistake. Coyotes will go through those screens and grab your furbaby in a heartbeat.

Move cats to a cat house- they will enjoy that.

Any event, I'm just pointing out that it may not be someone's pet. You might have just been a victim of the stray wildlife around here. I hope your cat is not too traumatized. Do you think that many people let their cats run around outside around here? Honest question--I really don't know. I know I wouldn't, considering all the coyotes, alligators, and hunting birds in this area.

There are four cats that have collars, and roam our area. One was so frightened She Allowed me to pick her up, and just melted in my arms. I returned her to owner. Not a good meet and greet, I got a earful for something that was not my business. Cat was back at my home the next day. Some either don’t care, or just don’t get it.

I've also seen a couple of dogs off their leashes - again, not feral, just stray. I use stray in the traditional sense: it belongs to someone, but isn't with them or contained at their own property at the moment. My cat would not react that way to dogs, so I already ruled them out. Birds, no idea. She watches the woodpecker in the tree from her perch and doesn't go nuts, and she's seen those white birds (egrets, or sand-whatevers?) pluck ants from our yard under her window, and she hasn't gone nuts then either. I know absolutely positively she is not friendly toward other cats. That's why I concluded it was most likely a cat, as opposed to anything else it -could- have been. |

What we need, are leash laws extended to cats. Currently Florida law is that they are free-roaming animals. But currently, Florida law also has trespassing laws that are enforced. If YOU allow YOUR cat to roam onto MY property without my permission, YOU should be held accountable for it. Your dog can't roam on my property, your kid can't roam on my property, you can't set up chairs and a table on my property, and you can't be on my property - without my permission. Why should your cat be any different? If there's a Villages-located organization trying to get pet laws extended to include cats, I'd love to be a part of it. |

My understanding of TV rules is that cats are not allowed to roam free. Honestly, I don't understand why any cat should be allowed anywhere to roam free. Not everyone loves your pet nor wants their feces or paw prints or getting scared because your animal jumped out from under the car, etc. Rules of consideration for others should always apply.

We have called to it, but it will not come over too us. Just been to the postal station but could not see any notice regarding a lost cat. If the owner of the lost cat is reading these posts, please PM me and we can show you the regular route the cat seems to travel when it passes by. It looks in good health and from its visual condition, has found a regular food source., |

Does matter, If the cat had collar was running loose. Cats always get free pass cause they don’t bark
