The svelte twelve-pound yellow-and-white rabbit-eating cat who once
brought home a beagle. I just barely got the other door open in time
to keep the dog from going out through a closed window.
Erica settled for chipmunks; Al has never killed anything but the
strings we tie to his stick.

There are semi-feral cats in my neighborhood. A man on the next street
feeds them. The females also try to hunt. I don't think well-fed cats
are particularly good hunters, but they make a stab at it. The males
are only interested in the females. They don't hunt. Fortunately, it
looks like the man has had the females spayed because despite the males'
best efforts, there are no kittens this year.
Our SPCA has a feral neutering project -- they will neuter ferals and
re-release them into their old area, figuring that they are doing well,
why mess with success. They keep the rodent populations under control.

I would have no problem if *all* they brought down were rodents.
However, they seem here to delight in stalking and catching *numerous*
songbirds. Yuck! Many of my neighbors seem to think everyone else
welcomes their non-feral cats into our yards to use as kitty
toilets...nope!

Ah, this is true. These cats would like to catch a bird....they sit for
hours and study them, make abortive dashes at them under a feeder... I
am sure I can hear the birds laughing. I don't have much in the way of
songbirds - chicadees, sparrows, goldfinches, warblers, robins, mourning
doves, quail, starlings, a woodpecker, two scrub jays (my peanut
planters), and an occasional visit from a flicker. I did have a crow's
nest in one tree and a fledgling fell to the ground. While he was
around, the crows kept cats out of the yard. Unfortunately, they kept
us out, too. I was wondering if I could negotiate with a crow to become
a yard bird.
