song birds, reptiles, amphibians, insects, and mammals. The hunting instinct is so strong with cats
is just so strong. People feeding them in my neighborhood don’t help the problem. If people want
to adopt them great but the least they could do is catch them and have them fixed. Feral cats live
short and brutal lives with feline leukemia, fights, coyotes, owls, foxes, other critters, and cars.

Weather Underground’s home page for your area has a nice feature that tells you how much longer
each day is per day light.
