3 Dogs (10 years, ?, ?)
Yes, that’s too many dogs. 2 were fosters from my deadbeat cousin. Let our son get attached and then cousin never came back for them. I’m too soft.

Do you cat people let them outside and if so does it bother you that you are decimating local bird populations?Is this true? Do they climb trees to catch them?

I was walking lady one day and there was a cat laying down just chilling at the end of a neighbors driveway. Next thing I know it leaps like 2 ft in the air and kills a robin that was just casually flying by then struts away with the bird in its mouth. I was extremely impressed.

I had a box turtle for about 2 hrs on Saturday. No idea how it got in my back yard but the dogs were going crazy barking at it so I brought it inside, put it in a box and contemplated keeping it but decided to let it go in a creek by my house.

I've only seen my cats get a bird a few times and every time it has been diving into a bush and coming out with a bird in its mouth. I guess it's true what they say, a bird in the hand is harder for a cat to kill than 2 in the bush or whatever.My dog has caught a couple of birds out of bushes.

My last cat was indoor only but if she had gone outside and snagged an occasional bird it wouldn't have bothered me one bit.

Our problem has been neighbor dogs roaming. Never fails that dogs are loose on days we decide to let them roam a bit in the backyard outside the coop.

It's actually illegal to keep box turtles in Kansas. I had a crap load of them when I was a kid. I feed them grasshoppers and cabbage and only kept the active ones'. I used to race them and it was tons of fun.

Yes. No. Also, pretty sure my cat doesn't hunt anything. He's neutered and lays around all day and protects his territory (basically our yard) from any ruffians who might trespass on his turf.

Two litter boxes in the basement along with their food. They spend most of the time down there with limited time on the main floor.

I would like a cat but I think I'd be too lazy to clean up the litter box constantly
they have self cleaning ones. However with one cat, i was only needing to do it every 3 days. One of the reasons i am pulling a _33 and putting my foot down on more than two cats. So much pee and poop.
