What am I missing here? The backyard chickens which would have helped to control the insect and mosquito populations as well as produce healthy eggs are bad but feral cats are good? Sounds like DISCRIMINATION!

Cape Charles cats are cool cats. I am happy to see them working in the neighborhood, hunting for moles or voles, or chasing some roaming rodent. Thank you, Wave, for publishing this article – I am grateful to those of you who are making sure that our cats are healthy and able to do their jobs. I am happy to support ESSO.

Cats need to be indoors or contained — how will they affect other wildlife populations, the environment, and public health? What about the welfare of the cats? All aspects of allowing domestic animals to congregate and roam freely need to be taken into consideration.

The purpose of this article was a BIG THANK YOU to everyone for their support and to promote the recycle cart. I am sorry [the headline] addressed rodents, etc. That was never my intention.

A headline should highlight the most interesting aspect of the story — which in this case was that the town’s feral cat population helps to control rats. The recycle cart was also prominently featured. –EDITOR

I support all the wonderful things that are being done to help CC’s feral cat population. I can’t understand, however, the claim that by feeding them, they will become better ratters. A hungry cat hunts, a full one sleeps. I have also seen them hunting baby rabbits in Central Park. Last year I saved a rabbit from two cats that were about to kill it in the park.
