https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/f/nonclinical-discussions/31473/poor-cat this evening - somebody enquiring about booking in a &#39;yard cat&#39; for neutering. how old is he? - not sure could be 6mths but could equally be a year or more, not sure if this one is the dad or the son so he is definitely a male then? - I think soen-USTelligent Community 10https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/thread/173920?ContentTypeID=1Sun, 20 Jan 2019 18:08:18 GMT1a0763ec-3885-442c-853e-6cef656dfec5:972a5dbe-982d-41be-a44c-4f10489b8df2Sal the 1st<p>nothing wrong with yard cats, I just felt sorry for the poor bugger being lumbered with the name Brexit - not quite the same but we have the &#39;rodent control unit&#39; patrolling our hangars -a bunch of ferals that we relocated. &#39;Lanky&#39; (Lancaster) &#39;Manky&#39; (Manchester) and Boots (Wellington) assisted by new recruits G- George and V- Vera (no idea where the last two came from they just appeared).We have never had a rodent problem since. Indoors we have the &#39;Home Guard&#39; which came with the ferals - Wallis and Gibson who I suspect were never in any way feral, they love the Aga and Whiskas too much</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/thread/173919?ContentTypeID=1Sun, 20 Jan 2019 17:25:25 GMT1a0763ec-3885-442c-853e-6cef656dfec5:95b9dce5-0dac-482b-a28d-a079663d725aSusan Jackson<p>I think yards cats are fine too. Who said cats need humans? At least getting neutered to stop more breeding and transmission of disease.&nbsp;</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/thread/173918?ContentTypeID=1Sun, 20 Jan 2019 16:15:52 GMT1a0763ec-3885-442c-853e-6cef656dfec5:9672227f-abbb-4135-be7e-6861c7883109apache<p>We do a lot of anonymous farm cats under similar terms, turn up with an angry cat in a cage trap of unknown name, sex and health status.</p> <p>I think I feel more sorry for a lot of &#39;pet&#39; cats fed a poor diet, never allowed outside etc. I think these cats can have a good quality of life.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
