I used to smoke, and people would tell me to move away from their windows and I did, and now I do it too, and I don't feel bad. I just say flatly "can you smoke (area without windows), it goes directly into my window. " and you just repeat it flatly and kind of act like they are stupid for not realizing this themselves.

Sherman? Sherman was diabetic when he arrived but slimmed down significantly and has since been adopted. He has his own Instagram.

If you'd like to pet a kitty cat instead, the Brooklyn Cat Cafe is in downtown Brooklyn and they don't even mind if you have yourself a little cry.

In the footage I saw, the majority of those cats were not feral.

Cats and rats both eat trash, that's why rich neighborhoods with street cleaners or people who are paid to containerize trash do not have feral cats. Cats don't actually hunt rats, either. A cat colony will passively deter rats, meaning, they will displace rats one house over, that's it, the real issue is trash.

Is it high elevation? They are from three mountains of Argentina so they seek out the highest places they can.

She had a bellyfull of rat poison.

Rats do tear open trash, but that's really a trash problem more than a rat problem imo.

Come to sunset park or borough park, it is!

The one special owl in Central Park died from eating poisoned mice though.

Really nothing will work the symptom (rodents) except addressing the source (trash).

In most colonies I TNR, the people want to know the cat will be safe if it is adopted, as with kittens or friendlies, or returned to them to keep up the mouse patrol/ to just be a community buddy they collectively care for.

You get a few insane people who just want the cats gone, but if a culture includes feeding cats, removing the specific cat the insane hater wants gone, does nothing because another will take its place when the higher volume of people keep feeding, throwing chicken out the window, or with poor trash practices that attracted the cat to begin with.

Bodega cats eat mice and passively deter rats.

There was a bodega cat in Park Slope that got rescue care (neuter and vaccine) and was supposed to be kept in, the bodega did not keep up with that, and a regular scooped it up when it was outside for the nth time. The cat was returned. It still goes out to the street.

Cats deter rats passively but cats don't regularly hunt adult rats.

Cat colonies would not survive in subways because the food sources are better in other safer places.

Also crazy cat ladies do not dump cats around homes. Bad owners dump cats around homes and crazy cat people come fix the problem for you.

The real truth is cats and rats are attracted to some of the same food sources, trash. Rats have lots of other options as well, which is how cats can carve or a territory from rats, but nothing will make a real difference until the city fixes the trash.

Rich neighborhoods dont have feral cat colonies because they pay more to handle their trash.

Cringe.

They need to personally observe the crime, so they shouldn't have arrested him, they did not observe the defacing.

They are not good at reducing crime in any category, except white collar.

Might.

Sure, Mit.

You go vote for might. Republican led states have worse crime but you go on for might.

They are not good at reducing crime!

Especially. Crimes. Against you.

Because the legislature is still Democratic.

I think repealing bail reform is totally unrelated to the governorship.

And I think Republicans are begging you to focus on crime so they can ruin the lives of gay women, probably not here. Just poorer gay women, far away from her. And they would take a governorship in nys as a sign to go full bore again people like you but poorer.

OK. So... the first part of your sentence will not lead to the second part.

I think you know that too.

It's ok to feel scared and want others to take things seriously too, but government is about the achievable.

And Republicans want to. Republicans are currently banning birth control and banning gay marriage, setting up the same automatic repeals they JUST DID to abortion, for birth control and gay marriage.

It is achievable for them to absolutely destroy your life and leave crazies to dance across the subway with chainsaws. They are not coming for them, they are coming for you.

Be specific. You're scared because of subway crime, mta is a state thing. Crime is a city thing.

What do you think a republican governor would do that would result in safer subways?

What do you think a republican governor would be able to do differently?

One should call the police to help stranded motorists.
