"Feral cats - those skittish, temperamental cousins of the domesticated house cat - may soon see their sentences commuted by the city of St. Paul.
In an effort to control a growing number of feral cat colonies, the city is adopting a counterintuitive tool: Stop killing them.
While a trip now to the animal control office is almost always a death sentence for feral cats, under an ordinance to be introduced at today's City Council meeting, the cats could be trapped, spayed or neutered and released back onto the street. " from St. Paul Pioneer Press online

It is hard to be funnier than true life. St. Paul is at it again. First the roof top bird condos, now this. Is Bob Barker in St. Paul now? Okay, okay, it is a good idea to spay and neuter animals. I suppose we want the best foot forward next summer when the Republicans arrive for the convention. I just wonder sometimes. Now the cats will really have something to meOOOW about. Perhaps we could just let nature take it's course and schedule a performance of "CATS" at the Ordway Theatre in downtown St. Paul. It could be followed by "Bye Bye Birdie" to make us all a little more sensitive to our critter population.
