Miche is very smart, he knows to let us know when the ferals are on
the deck looking for food... he knows the ferals because he was with
them when he was outside. Mishe was never feral. some imbecile dumped
him off because when they returned to their big city apt they couldn't
keep him... summer people do that all the time. Cats will hook up
with the feral community and survive but dogs don't have a chance,
dogs have zero survival skills, they can't climb and they can't hunt.
City people are cruel, they get a puppy for their kids but when summer
ends they abandon the puppy... without shelter and food a puppy won't
last 24 hours in these woods. I see feral cats all the time but I
never see a loose dog, poor things are gonners. I supply heated
shelters, food, and water, cats know how to hole up, they find a barn
and climb up into the rafters where nothing can get them... cats
survive very well. Cats do well living with livestock; cattle. sheep,
horses, goats, etc. Farmers consider cats taking up residence in
their barn an asset, they keep it free of rodents. A barn cat has
great value in agricultural communities. so farmers provide them with
heated shelters in winter and food and water. They don't need much
food as they ratner the rodents they catch, just a heated water bowl,
and heated bed is sufficient... only costs a few pennies to heat their
bed and water... the water heater has a thermostat set to come on at
34ºF and the heated bed the same but only turns on by the weight of a
cat... really costs nothing.
