21. I had a colony of ferals that would frequent my back yard. I trapped seven

of them, and had them spayed/neutered through our SOS, save our strays program. Now the idea is, is to have them "fixed" and release them back into the wild, cutting down on all those unwanted kitties.

I found homes for most of them, but when I opened the cage door for the last two they didn't go far. Decided they liked my back yard (food here). After 2/3 years, they decided my house looked safe and comfortable, so they came in and stayed. Big Boy lived 16 years and little Cici 11 years. When I had company, they would both hide. They were very sweet with me, but always on the look out for danger.

Now I am feeding my neighbors cat because they don't, and one other starving feral, who is looking much healthier now that I have been feeding him for the last month.

Does this count for having kitties, even though I don't actually own them?
