Domestic cats outdoors in urban places.

Most of us know of how valuable house cats can be in country/farm environments. Pesky rodents, go to the home down the road. But what about in out heavily populated towns and cities? Noisy fighting all night long, marking up lawn furniture and other things, killing our lovely songbirds, and lots more. And perhaps the indoor life is best for the kitties themselves, with ectoparasites, combat scars or worst, and even predator danger. We have eagles and ospreys, not to mention foxes and hawks, here by the ocean, and all have been known to take little Pumpkins for lunch from time to time. Should our laws on pet ownership reflect these facts? We do have leash and clean up regulations for dogs. A few yeas ago, while we were away for a month on family vacation, we had a lady friend care of the kitties here. Our cats live indoors, but this lady's enabling tendencies got the best of her, and she let them roam outdoors. Fleas, cuts and diseases awaited us on returning. Aa.

It's not a worry here, after the Coyotes deplete the Rabbit
population, they eliminate the Cat's that people let out.
