Re: Cat News

I watched a documentary on PBS last night on the first flights of Pale Male's offspring. PM was still hunting 5 times a day for food for the 3 fledges until they managed to get airborn. When you have a family to feed....

Everything does have its place...that is for sure. I love the hawks out
here, and I wince when I see them pick up a small bunny from the
pasture, but it's what they do. They also carry away snakes, field rats
and mice.

The total loss for the town is about 20. We have a pack of coyotes, and
they are eating them all. The mayor has declared open seaon on the coyotes, 
but I'm not sure that is a very good idea considering the mind set of most
people here where firearms are concerned. I have two outside cats
remaining. So far they have stayed in my small (high) fenced back yard. I
am still feeding 3-4 cats at the abandoned house around the corner. This
has been a bad year for cats in LaGrange.
The upside of having fewer cats in town is that we are suddenly having more 
birds. The downside is we are also seeing more squirrels, snakes and mice.
I'm hoping people around here might notice the interconnectedness (?) of
life around us, but I know that's just wishful thinking...
