Feral cats are an invasive species in America. nt U4ikLefty Nov 2015 #21

Yah OK. darkangel218 Nov 2015 #25

It's true. U4ikLefty Nov 2015 #27

Then go volunteer and donate to Cat rescue groups. darkangel218 Nov 2015 #28

Did not complain. I stated a fact. U4ikLefty Nov 2015 #30

Facts do not bother me. U4ikLefty Nov 2015 #33

I posed no problem. U4ikLefty Nov 2015 #35

They been around America for 3 million years. Rex Nov 2015 #37

They are a non-native, invasive species. U4ikLefty Nov 2015 #38

That nice, but feral cats been around for millions of years. Rex Nov 2015 #48

They are a non-native, invasive species. U4ikLefty Nov 2015 #54

As opposed to bobcats or lynx or cougars? nt alp227 Nov 2015 #69

Bobcats are a North American subcategory of the Lynx, therefore bobcats are native. U4ikLefty Nov 2015 #70

Don't bother. darkangel218 Nov 2015 #72

I responded to you four (now five) times. U4ikLefty Nov 2015 #73

Sounds almost relevant. LanternWaste Nov 2015 #42

Sounds almost like snark. U4ikLefty Nov 2015 #59

and your point is? magical thyme Nov 2015 #44

My point is that feral cats are an invasive species in America. U4ikLefty Nov 2015 #60

and that relates to the OP how? magical thyme Nov 2015 #62

If these cats are being released outside than they are an invasive species. U4ikLefty Nov 2015 #66

neutering them prevents them from reproducing, which does reduce populations over time magical thyme Nov 2015 #68

If you read post #35 you will see "I am hopeful that those cats are kept indoors." U4ikLefty Nov 2015 #71

and I wrote indoors or out, depending on the situation. magical thyme Nov 2015 #79

So are humans. Kalidurga Nov 2015 #78

So are humans. I hope you got "fixed"! Arugula Latte Nov 2015 #58

So are Feral Hogs and Burmese Pythons. Shall we "fix" them as well? U4ikLefty Nov 2015 #61

You're right, I shouldn't equate cats with humans. Humans are far, far more destructive. Arugula Latte Nov 2015 #65

Glad you admit that cats are invasive, that's a start. U4ikLefty Nov 2015 #67

Lolololol!!! darkangel218 Nov 2015 #75
