I just picked Briar up from River Beach after receiving a phone call of his wherabouts. When I arrived the lady lectured me about how I need to lock him up and that cats shouldn't be near the bird santuary. So I'm thinking... hmm, if it weren't for all these houses and people, there would be all kinds of mountain lions and bobcats hunting here, but instead all these "protected" birds need to worry about now are these little housecats that have been stripped of their wild instinct. It's obvious that there is an overpopulation of fowls in that single location, the beach is littered with seagull and geese poop. My theory is it's probably because they have no natural predators. Briar was doing nature a favor and bringing balance where there was none. (Man she would probably have me locked up if she found out I encourage quail stalking) So I said politely to her, "I'm sure there are other cats around, plus I can't keep him inside all day long, he's social, and hes supposed to be out and about". The man standing next to her said something like, "That's what my mother would say, 'you can't keep a cat in the house'." The kid with him followed with, "He comes to my school all the time!". After hearing their testimony the lady was even more perturbed and then emphasized again that he should be "locked up". Seriously, like... "locked up in JAIL?" cause that's what it sounded like. He was doing the SAME thing she was... enjoying the birds and the sunset!
