Welcome to the forum (from another FNG).
As for cats... I have four barn cats. They're living the high life:
- vaccinated, shots, well cared for
- secured in the barn every night to protect them from predators
- canned cat food every night to lure them into the barn
- one cat gets it warmed up
- kibbles all day long. all they can eat.
- electric heated cat beds
- ice-free water bowls
- 19 acres of woods to hunt. Lots of mice, chipmonks and outbuildings.
