I have 9 birdfeeders and three hummingbird feeders in my backyard...I also have 3 cats in my house. For many reasons, including those 12 feeders, our cats do not go outside. They don't try to escape when someone opens a door, they understand that they don't go outside.They spend a lot of time on the window sills in this room watching the birds and squirrels play in the backyard.

There are at least four cats who roam our neighborhood at will and I see them in our backyard on a regualr basis...one was sleeping outside the french doors when I got up this morning. I do not understand people who let their cats run wild and breed at will. I have a persian cat that i paid $600 for....we have one that came from the animal shelter and one that we got from a little girl in front of Big Lots.There's no way I'd let any of them run around outside to get hit by a car or attacked by a dog or other animal.

I spend as much or more money on birdseed as cat or dog food, there aren't many days that I don't sit outside and watch the birds and squirrels. I've spent a lot of time, money and effort attracting those birds. I've never found a dead bird or squirrel in the yard, I don't know which side of this issue I would be on if it came down to it.
