is he mean to the other cats?
He's right awful. All he does is lope around looking for things to punk.
It's his way of life. Sleep, eat, punk. When it gets warmer, he's staying outside for good.
are there many homeless cats in the us?
I dunno if every place in the US is the same with cats, but in the place where
I live, there are many, many stray cats. It's mostly from stupid owners who
don't fix their animals and just let them run loose. In other cases people move
and just leave their cats to fend for themselves.
My parents and I have a deal worked out with a nearby vet who charges 15-25 USD
for neutering and spaying. In our respective neighborhoods we've decreased the potential
numbers substantially, but it's a really bad problem in my area.
I don't know if it has changed since I heard this a few years ago, but in California,
cats are legally considered feral animals like possums or squirrels.
