The brood of kitties that my husband and I so very much love and enjoy came, mostly from former strays that have adopted me.  They are my joy and passion.  I would have it no other way.

Now if we can only get the people who started out with the cats and who did not care enough to have them spayed or neutered to get with the program, maybe there would be less strays and more happy kitties in happy homes. 

Cats continue to populate because too many humans don't take proper responsibility.

I love animals and it is heartbreaking to see wild strays hunting or scavenging for food. Animal owners should be responsible enough to spay and neuter their pets which would cut down on a lot of stray animals.

I have a stray cat that comes to our home at night and probably eats our plants.

I often see stray cats in my neighborhood, not sure if somebody is feeding them.

No stray animals. Thankfully.
However, We do have neighbor cats that creep around.  Last week, one came down to eat the bread in our yard we throw out to feed the birds.  Then I felt bad for the cat because he (or she) must have been hungry to be eating bread pieces, he looks rather thin.  So now every couple days I put a handful of my indoor cat's dry food out on my fence in case he gets so hungry again he needs food, it is hairball IAMS... so he'll be hairball free & fed, lol.    I really don't want the cat around scaring away the birds, but I also don't want him to starve or be hungry.    If the food is always gone, then I'll be buying some it food on a regular basis I guess.

      I agree: Be kind to all animals! I place a dish with water outside the buildings, so the birds, ducks and dogs do not die of thirst.

We have stray cats in our neighborhood because someone feeds them. It is unfortunate because most of them live in the sewers. If the person feeding them really cared they would be taking better care of them.

It's so sad. People need to spay and neuter their pets! Adopt, don't shop!
