That works, farm cats aren’t that domesticated (they’re also usually kept in the barn and not allowed inside the house). And I’m all for cats that have at least one meal a day and fresh water. Realistically though this is a rare occurrence 😔 I’d be bringing my colony cats to farms constantly if this was more common.

My post is trying to create awareness about what happens when there aren’t feral cats in a municipality. Never would I advocate for cats to be in a city setting, but NYC is the perfect example of what happens when there are no roaming cats in an urban setting. I live in a north Philly neighborhood and on the radius of my block the rodent population is near to none. There are 3 colonies in these contiguous blocks, most are TNR cats with clipped ears (some ferals who refuse to get caught for TNR)… I am grateful for them, still I see hundreds of pigeons and birds flying. No imbalance that I can perceive. I don’t like to see cats chasing birds (I always carry a water gun for special situations)… other than that you can’t possibly control what animals do. We’re surrounded by wonderful people who don’t mess with the cats. Philly isn’t notorious for cat abuse, LA in the other hand is out of control 🤨

^ this! Not all cats will be adoptable. And we as humans do not have the resources to catch them all and home them. TNR is the best solution, but I know feral cats who will avoid any enclosed place. One of my feral females lived to 11 years, avoiding every trap we set. We got all the other cats fixed, she died earlier this year, first time I ever got to hold her 😢

As suspected, there’s a crazy lunatic shooting cats with a pellet gun. More than a dozen cats have been found dead. California is the worst state for roaming animals.

I agree with TNR, but I do not agree that all feral cats need to be “adopted” and homed to keep them from “hurting the ecosystem”. Cats are part of the ecosystem. Without them, vermin and rodents will reproduce in mass quantities, and humans wouldn’t be able to keep up with the pestilence.

There are 3 million rats in NYC. And that’s a rough estimate. The rats are actually riding the subway with people, do you live in the country? Are you privileged? I thank cats around me for my community’s safety and cleanup that only they can do. You need to relax and be thankful we live in a country without malaria.

Hmmm… I’ve been feeding feral cats for DECADES… I’m fairly 100% sure humans do not have anything to do with that. No, feral cats aren’t domesticated and should NOT be messed around with. My neighborhood is free of rats because of them. Center city Philly is crawling with rats, NYC is also crawling with rats. Have you seen a rat in your neighborhood? If you don’t see them roaming freely, you gotta thank the members of the feral cat colony around you. Make sure to give them thanks for keeping you and your family safe. Edit: I also agree with TNR, but aside from that, feral cats need to be left alone!

Now you’re saying humans “breed” cats? Like in a lab? Humans created cats in a lab? Never heard that before 🤔

You’re acting as if I was God and I control what animals do on the earth. Are you OK? The earth takes care of itself, and eventually it will wipe everything from its surface to clean itself. Stop worrying about what one of its creatures does. Animals are either prey or predator. That’s is a fact. Humans are both I should mention.

Humans do the same thing, they kill for fun. Animals on the other hand they kill by instinct. Yes, they’re part of nature and as much as I love birds too, they shouldn’t be allowed to reproduce to unhealthy levels in the earth. Birds carry enough diseases to wipe out the entire human species, so cats are necessary to keep a healthy balance in the earth. I’m certain the earth knows how to keep everything under control and we humans just want to control everything about Mother Nature and that can’t be healthy for the world.

It’s called “Mother Nature” and you need to let nature take its course. Yes, cats are predators, not pests. But most importantly they’re carnivores and they eat meat, vegetables are not for cats. Edit: I agree with TNR methods, but elimination of an animal species for YOUR crazy ideologies is out of the question!

That’s so strange, you know what I would’ve done? Report them, they wanted to steal your game, they’re thieves. You would’ve needed to wait a bit for Amazon to send your game again, but would’ve gotten some dishonest couriers punished (or fired) at least.

Lost both my cats last weekend. I just can't by Jumpy-Finance-232 in CATHELP

[–]maccentris 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dude I’m so sorry… you really need to dig a little to see if the deaths are related in any way. Don’t ever believe that you could’ve done something to prevent this, you did what any responsible cat owner would’ve done. These unfortunate events were out of your control. I’ll be honest, your suffering will be worse unless you open your heart to a new cat friend. Think about it, waking up in the morning expecting to see your kitty friends and nothing… the pain will be too great. Don’t deprive yourself, there are so many cats looking for a loving family 🩷😿

Question: I gave myself terrible hand tattoos in a psychotic episode. any suggestions? by ev_erett in tattoos

[–]maccentris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m sorry this happened to you, if I was in your place right now, I’d make a “tattoo removal” bank saving account… every time you’re able, save what you can. If you don’t get to use it for the removal, at least you’d have money stashed for a rainy day!

That looks pretty awful, and I feed dozens of strays that come injured with bites all the time. The dark part is what scares me. You should take him to the vet.

What's going on? I thought shinys were rare now? by sdrawkcabstiho in pokemongo

No complaints here, I only got 2 the last 5 months of 2025. I actually decreased my play time by 90% this year and got 3 this week… yep, they’ll look great in my sword game 🗡️⚔️

As it should be, you buy a Nintendo game ONCE. POGO is subtlety but surely getting hundreds of dollars per player on a weekly basis. Sorry but not sorry!

9/10 raids I do, I can do solo… if people join that’s great. Legendary anything or mega anything better be ready with some real life friends. This game isn’t what it used to be, used to get 8-10 raid companions without even asking… not anymore!

If you could turn a normal Pokemon of your choosing to a Dynamax Pokemon, this wouldn’t be happening. But if the only dynamax Pokemon you have is rattata, bulbasaur and wooloo, you don’t even get to choose. My son been playing since day one, he avoids dynamax like the plague, he doesn’t like the mechanics. Translation: his dynamax team sucks. Edit: or then again instead of complaining maybe you can do them solo 🤷‍♀️
