We would always take lost cats too. Some would stay with us longer, some just for a while and off they went.
We don't really have a kind neighborhood but our house earned a reputation for being a dumping site for abandoned cats, we get those once in a while and some of them also leave for mating reasons or the males growing and getting territorial.
I'm just happy they don't get into fights with dogs despite sharing the same space. Yeah we also pick up stray dogs, only those that get abandoned near our house anyway.
How many cats and dogs you have?
7 dogs
10 cats and more are incoming because 2 cats are pregnant.
They get along most of the time but only because there's a lot of space in the backyard for them to be territorial.
Wow that is quite a bunch! Wouldn't mind more cats if I had the space for it. Dogs scare me a bit, but cats - yes please :)
