Ah -- well now, that's the hard part. Very often, you can't even get ahold of a newcomer cat -- they're very frightened and wary. So you couldn't get them to a vet if you wanted to. And then there's the matter of expense. This is a farm. Uninvited cats come and go all the time. One could spend a fortune on other people's cats -- trying to protect your own. It's just not practical. That's why I was asking if there's something more than CS that I can do for my own cats. Actually, the practical thing to do with stray cats Another thing that would discourage stray cats from hanging around is not to leave any cat food out for more than 1/2 hour at a time. Your own cats would quickly figure out that they need to be there at feeding time or else miss a meal. Cats that don't belong in the group will be run off in short order when there's not a constant food supply. Laura H., TX
