You're someone who understands Wifey and me. When we moved here, our neighbors "loved kittens" and would feed feral cats just to see the kittens every now and then. Over the years we've trapped and spayed/neutered at least 25 cats. We had the whole thing under control for years until the horse barn near us changed owners. The new owner went and got himself a bunch of strays (don't know where from) and set them loose to hunt mice. But he didn't do anything about controlling reproduction. So now we have lots of kitten issues again. We adopted one kitten and found a home for another, but until we TNR all the females, the kittens will continue to be an issue. Irresponsible pet owners really anger me.
