We have a great story about a feral cat and me in our family. To sum it up briefly, I attempted to lure one into our car one evening in the drive-thru of a fast food restaurant, much to the delight of the rest of the passengers in the car. The cat declined my invitation of French fry morsels, and now the running joke when we see a feral cat is if I’m going to get out and try to “catnap” it or not.
Looking back, I know my heart was in the right place, but what if that cat had been dangerous? My child was in the car, after all! While I shouldn’t be prowling the streets, trying to abduct and “save” homeless cats in our already pet-filled home, there are still things that I can do for feral cats in general, and I hope that you are moved to do so, as well.
October 16 is National Feral Cat Day. To participate, all you need is an open mind and a caring heart for cats. Read more
