Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Cat policies

[Racheli Gai (racheli]

People keep bringing up the issue of other cats moving in if there  
were no local cats in our neighborhood.  This misses the point
that we can catch a feral cat and take it to the humane society, while  
we won't do it to our neighbors' cats, even when they're driving
us nuts.
