Feral cats won't use it, you watch.


I think this is a problem of description,


I don't.

always assuming Steph does not live under a bridge.


Bet Adam got it right.

Steph describes the cats as feral strays, but
they must be one or the other, not both.


Or its just another pathetic excuse for a troll.

Feral cats are domestic type cats (i.e. not true wildcats),


Yes, that's what feral means.

but born in the wild with no human contact.


Not really with cats.

Steph describes the cats in question as being dumped,
so they are strays, not feral, although subsequent
generations of dumped cats may be feral.


Yep, they normally are in that situation.

Either way, strays and, eventually, most feral cats will
respond to human contact, such as food and shelter.


True feral cats don't.

None of which addresses Steph's original question.


Its very from clear that there was every anything
other than a pathetic excuse for a troll.

My answer would be to attempt to domesticate
the cats first, that is befriend them by supplying
food and water, then worry about shelter. Cats
are clever enough to find shelter.


And both strays and their feral offspring are very
unlikely indeed to choose to inhabit a used dolls
house or something like it made from scratch.

Staph now claims that it has 5 cats. Certainly some
stray cats might well be happy to move in with it,
the dog, lizard and the toad, and its likely the
offspring will be happy with that situation too.

But its very unlikely that any of them will actually be
stupid enough to move in with it under its bridge.


Dearest Rod,


Cheapest Staph,

It is true, once many many moons
ago I used to live under a bridge,


And still do now.

mainly the scum-haters when I was
younger. I am all grown up now.


So now you are just a fart of a troll, eh ?
