This neighborhood is full of cats. Cats, cats, everywhere.

rikell42's totalled car is parked in a carport kinda thing. Several of the windows are rolled down.

Now, lots of local kitties like to wander in and out of our yard. But one in particular likes to jump into rikell42's car and lie on the backseat. We don't mind. Matter of fact, it sure is cute. "Is the cat in the car?" "Naah, not today."

The shelter in Hillsboro gets so many strays that they end up putting down close to 80% of them.

Just today I was worried when I saw a cat, not even fully grown, and dark grey, try to cross 21st. I tried to walk across with them, but they were slow, so I just picked up this random cat and walked across the street with it, putting it down on the other side.

It had a collar with an address on it, so it wasn't a stray...I won't have outdoor kitties. All my cats have been indoor. It's just a plain fact that cats allowed to go outdoors, on average, die younger. This one was so young, and damn near the same color as the pavement!!
