  • Emily and Dylan bought a farmhouse and noticed that there was a colony of feral cats living on the property. They took them in without question and began taking care of them. Soon they realized that these cats needed a proper shelter, and so they decided to redo a room in their house and dedicate it to the cats!

      You definitely have a chip on your shoulder. Maybe too much prejudice to understand a few things.
      First off, let me clarify that I am well aware of animals that can and do get killed by cats. With that being said, I disagree with the dramatic angle that you have on it.
      I'm not sure if my personal experience of being a cat owner is the same as others but having had cats my entire life, I can tell you that I have never seen cats stray or owned kill animals at the rate that you are insinuating. From the way you talk, you would think there was a sea of dead birds in every cat yard. Not even close. Most of the attempts I've seen cats make, they fail to catch their prey.
      I'm honestly confused why some people are offended at cats being instinctual hunters. Like they're supposed to know that upsets you? Or all cat owners should keep their cats inside when they may not lawfully have to because a neighbor is appalled at mother nature?
      I've seen more squirrels get run over by cars. I'm not advocating animals being killed btw but I'm definitely not running outside everytime I see a stray cat try to catch a bird.
      Have you seen a dog kill cats? How they tear them up or grab kittens in their mouth and thrash them around? Is that worse or better than what cats do? One might say...it's an animal thing.
      I keep my cats Indoors. Not because of the minor threat they have to the neighborhood birds and squirrels that seem to have no problem replenishing the few they lose in battle but to the threat of their own lives. Getting hit by cars.
      The couple in this video are doing nothing wrong. The cats are fixed to prevent further population and maybe who knows, they might see how offended you are and invite all 16 cats into their house. Then some other internet troll will complain that they have too many animals in their house.

Growing up I always thought she was crazy. Our home was a cat home, never our home. Now that I am older I appreciate everything she did. She gave them love and attention.

      These are not feral cats, they are barn cats or strays. It's important to know the difference and to avoid confusing people by naming stray cats "feral", because someone may have to deal with an actual feral cat and if they don't know what feral means, it could lead to abandonment or even worse for the cat. Ferals are also not a synonym for aggressive cats; domestic cats can be aggressive. It's a therm for cats that have not socialized with humans when growing up and therefore do not behave as domestic cats.

If there's no barn, it's not a farm!) At least now, they have hoomins that love them & take good care of them. 😻But the vet bills will be as high as the the mortgage!

They both told her they didn't care what she did with them. There were 10 at each place. The feral cats in own neighborhood must have gotten the word, cause cats begin showing up around our house all the time. To the point the neighbor next to her complained and those "catcher" cages came out. They caught all the kittens, but neither parent. They all stopped coming around the day after she passed..
