The cats are quite concerned that there is a cat shortage and,
usually work hard to correct the problem.
In the case here, there has been a long time effort to catch them and make
them more socially responsible.
Sometimes, there are reduced rates at the vet or some sponsoring agency that
helps out.
Some of the cats took a lot of tries to trap but now, it looks like things
are pretty much under control.
