[Argie's Wife]

I don't think it's cruel to put down a feral cat. I think it's more cruel to do nothing at all and let the cats starve, freeze to death, get hit by cars, get diseases, or breed to make more feral cats. Trap them and put them down; especially if they're in a residential area with domestic pets, children, etc. around. But doing nothing is inexcusable.

I have had several feral cats - in fact, both of the cats I have now were ferrel and one was very wild. They've transitioned into lovely house cats and my family loves them both. The wildest of the two cats has "adopted" our oldest boy and sleeps with him each night. The other cat has claimed my husband - she's Argie's cat. We're lucky to have them and I think they're lucky to have us. Ours is the rare ending of the feral cat story.
