I like cats but have to admit that they're driving me mad too at the moment! We have loads of feral cats too and just recently, there have been plenty litters being born, which in turn lead to more litters and so on.
It doesn't make it any better that a neighbour arrives home every morning at 1.30am and then feeds them (she's like the Pied Piper.....they come running, miaowing from everywhere!) I know she thinks she's being kind but feeding them just makes them lazy and with having a farm opposite, we need them hungry to eat the vermin! Mind you, they still manage to sit on our shed roof sunning themselves and licking their lips at my little min pin puppy running round blissfully unaware that she could be their next live meal he! he!
