If they stay in your yard where did they get poisoned at??

Fencing in your yard does not keep a cat in they can easily leap over a 6 foot fence.

What Im saying is your cat should never have been put into that position. If you leave them outside then hook them on a leash to keep this from hapening or them possibly getting run over by a car. Cats should follow the same rules as my dogs.Me paying for a license (6 dollars)does what to keep him from biting a kid or another animal. It is just a money making procedure made up by the government. Cats should be included. Read some of the other posts about the Humaine society no letting people adopt cats due to them letting them roam outside unleashed....there must be a reason they frown on that practice. In other words

DONT LET YOUR CATS ROAM AROUND OUTSIDE UNLEASHED IT IS UNSAFE.

When your cat is outside how do you know where it goes. I could have been 3 blocks away from your house and you would have never known it. Go ahead bash me on my thoughts however It wont make me change my stance or mind. BOTTOM LINE

KEEP YOUR ANIMALS LEASHED IN YOUR YARD AND NOTHING WILL HAPPEN TO THEM WHEN YOUR NOT LOOKING.
