cat Killer(?) in puna

[Les C]

I remember visiting a former employer's home near Half Moon Bay, CA, out in a farming area years ago. Across the road was a farm that had a growing family of cats. The owners of the farm put out food and kept them as mousers, I guess. The litters increased rapidly and, in a short time, there were so many cats. They weren't spayed/neutered, nor were they given any medical attention. It was sad. My boss's wife would take in a few that had abcesses in their eyes, but that's about all that she could do. The owners of the farm were not the types to take kindly to suggestions about what they should do about their cat colony.

I don't know what ever happened there. I suppose that it's possible that the colony reached a size to where it crashed.
