How quickly can a feral colony assemble?

Brian Link - 01 Oct 2005 02:58 GMT For those of you unfamiliar with St. Paul, Minnesota - it's a very wooded city. There are few urban areas very far from large parks or wild train-track areas. Five blocks away from my house is several dozen acres of wild wetlands, and a lake park. Lots of room for a colony to establish, hide and hunt.
Tonight I saw the sixth new cat in my neighborhood in the last two weeks. All of them untagged, young-looking and for the most part healthy.
I'm beginning to wonder whether I'm seeing the teenagers of a few litters starting to spread out. If it's a feral colony, there's dozens more secreted away somewhere that I haven't seen.
This is so frustrating. Tonight driving home I saw a dead cat at the side of the road, and craned my eyes to see if he looked like our little tabby visitor of the other night. He wasn't - but nonetheless a casualty of cats wandering without owners. God I hate that.

Hint: "good buddy" gives you away. But your not hiding, your avoiding the google archives, rncha.

Otherwise, it's just PKB all over the place, "cyberferals", as you seem to see NancyMaryS everywhere now don't you? Have something against "hiding," do you, "cyberferals?"? <snicker> back at you.
Happily, it doesn't matter who you are. Well, except sometimes. Know what I mean? :)

Happily it doesn't matter because one of you is taking Usenet out of Usenet. What's the matter, spoon got hot? You and Charlie can't take the heat anymore?

Is it a full moon out there? ;) Oh, no, it's Friday night and the beer is flowing. Oh, well, to each his own.

Oh, well, to each his own. Mary, you aren't fooling anyone. Your whole setup is just to discredit someone. Or someoneS. Look at your email address c.nt. Hell, it showed up in the headers of one of your socks. How did that happen? Hmm sunshine? Your posts with names that only a few know are meant to intimidate. Everyone knows that. Your mistake was to replace an initial with a full name. You're a very sick woman and you need help.

You're a very sick woman and you need help. I'm not gonna chime in on the flaming of Mary. Her history speaks for itself.
I just wanna help these kitties, and if the discussion disintegrates into flamewars, it's obviously useless.
Don't feed the trolls. Take it to email. There are too many kitties that need our help.

That doesn't detract from the fact she's still a great resource for us cat-lovers. She is f.cking brilliant.
I hope she posts here again someday. I've f.cked up my own relationship with her, but that doesn't mean she's not an incredible resource for those of us who love cats.
I really doubt she's gone underground. From what I've learned of her she's more likely to have just stopped reading this group.
Personally, I wish i could re-open a conversation with her. But there are other folks on this newsgroup who can help me out. So I keep posting.
Btw- give me ONE example where Megan was proved wrong. You can't do it. Thanks for playing.
Now help me with my cat questions...
