(34,108 posts)That would explain why the black cat that hangs out here on the farm can be seen almost all the time in the trees sitting on a long branch watching the world go by. I always figured he was just smarter and knew he could visualize more prey from there. Maybe in addition to that he is a Tree cat. I never thought of it like that but since we are on a farm the cats out here usually do not have a lot of good contact with each other. Right now I have an orange and white cat, never had one of those, that is wanting in the house. We simply cannot house one more animal so he can hang out all he wants, I have shelters for them if they want them and food, but he will not be a house cat. He could be a garage cat but he has not attempted that yet. The other cats I see now and again. I am not the only person who feeds them.
I know that people here and others think that this is a bad thing because of the damage cats do to the bird population and this is true sadly, very true, but I don't know how a person could possibly turn them away. These cats are almost 99% not going to become house cats or be adoptable. How could they ever turn them away to certain death just because another human was not responsible?
