This was on Drudge.  Weird, ain't it?  The story's only four paragraphs long.

NIAGARA FALLS, N.Y. (AP) — An animal welfare organization says there are more stray cats and feral felines than people living in the city of Niagara Falls. Leaders of the Niagara County Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals tell Buffalo's WGRZ-TV that there are at least 60,000 strays and feral cats in the city, compared to about 50,000 people.

Niagara SPCA Executive Director Amy Lewis says the number of strays will continue to increase if people don't spay or neuter their cats.

Chase her.
Chase her even when she's yours.
That's the only way you'll be assured to never lose her.

Those cats look as contented and well fed as my pampered ones do.  I'm glad for that; so many strays in this world have a very tough and short life.
Sneaking into a country doesn't make you an immigrant any
more than breaking into someone's house makes you part of the family.

If you want to worship an orange pile of garbage with a reckless disregard for everything, get on down to Arbys & try our loaded curly fries.
