Nature Done Wright

I give The Record a lot of credit for running an Op-ed article today about the dangers posted by outdoor cats.

Whenever I try to bring up the subject, even gently, I am dismissed as a kook or am assured that their cat could never kill a bird. 

Outdoor cats dangerous?  Nobody wants to hear it.

But as the article — by George Fenwick, president of the American
Bird Conservancy — points out, leaving cats outdoors is not
particularly healthy for the cat either, even if you don't give a cat's patoot about wild birds. As for neutering and releasing feral cats, forget it…

A link to a column I wrote for The Record and Herald News on the subject (gently) is here.  That's my cat Pook above; she's an indoor cat, always.
