-> I guess my point here is, I don't know if you friend will ever ever know if
-> there's going to be a problem til she tries it.

Hi Janis, I did not forget You wrote this, just had some trouble getting
back. I took and passed on Your thoughts. It is a tough one, but I don't
see bringing the wild animal(s) in with her housecats and she does not
either, but would love to. The next problem would be getting them. They
eat people leftovers, but run from people at closer that 10 feet. They
have a perfect hole through the fence they zip right through. Best
chance of getting them would be to send someone on the other side and as
they ran through, try to grab them. I don't know how sucessful that
would be. It just sux to see such nice looking healthy looking animals
being left out to nature to possibly meet their end in the cold weather.

I don't see her rushing over to try and grab them, but I don't think she
has spotted them in the last few weeks either. What would, say the local
animal shelter do if someone brought in a couple like that? Would they
try to adopt them out, or do You think they would put them to sleep? I
would hope that even someone from a farm or something would love a
couple of Barn Cats to help with rodents, while also helping by taking
care of the cats and keeping them in shelter. Where they are sleeping
now can't be that good, and I would think the meager food would not keep
them going during the winter months. 

Have a good One!
Mike
