If people would spay and neuter their cats in addition, quit dumping and abandoning their pets when they move. It's not a cat problem, it's a stupid human problem!
Feral cats can become loving companions. You have to develop a relationship with them thru kindness, love and lots of patience. Feeding them and treats go a long way too. Every cat is an individual and how much time it'll take until they trust you varies greatly. It's a marathon to develop a relationship and needs to be done with baby steps. Some of the most loving cats were once considered feral. ❤❤😻😻
I have feral cats in my neighborhood and I have not seen a mouse or rat in my alley or neighborhood in 3 years. If they don't eat the rats they at least keep them away.
His comment about a cat being impossible to domesticate if it's been living outside for 8 weeks or longer is complete nonsense. I've helped trap many, many feral cats over the years, including mother cats with litters of kittens, and my experience is almost all of them were able to be domesticated and made into loving pets. It can take time and patience, but I've seen many cats who were outdoors for years finally gain the trust of a person and become a great indoor pet. I speak from personal experience there. If this guy doesn't realize this, then he didn't really do a good job researching this problem.
I leave my basement window open at night for the homeless cats who are looking for shelter. There's a giant bowl of food, water ,blankets and a cat litter box. I also have a camera set by the window so I can see the cats who come in. I love it!
Urban cats kill urban pests! Cats have been part of human civilization since its origins. They follow us around wherever we go. Bubonic plague was caused in part by a massive cat cull that took place in Europe. TNR seems like the best compromise in the rattiest city in the country!
One of the woman asked what the definition of a feral cat is. Are you kidding? Profound questions , must cater to the audience. The interview was grade school level.

News flash: for those who REALLY care about birds, how about working on decreasing the number of birds that humans destroy, since humans destroy billions more. Or, do you just have a beef against cats? Put your money where your mouth is, because actions speak louder than words.
Feral cats are NOT killing billions of birds a year. Bird-watcher groups keep vectoring that nonsense. And feral cats in the Chicago area don't have access to rare endangered birds anyway, Mostly pigeons, sparrows and crows.
Interesting article I saw about rat catching skills among feral cats. The majority of cats that were studied were TERRIBLE at rat catching. If the rats or mice were really small then the cats would go after them. Larger rats? No way. The cats didn't even try it. If there was garbage available they weren't going to go after rats. Frequently they would eat ALONGSIDE rats.
I have lived in the Chicago area all my life. Been to the city hundreds of times. My dad lived in the city for like 15 years as well and I visited him very often. I have never noticed a lot of cats. Sure, people have pet cats, and I'm sure there are stays as well. But, I only saw a cat in Chicago maybe 1 out of 50 times I went to Chicago, if that.
Please do not pick another speaker like this one, he said "ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh," way too many times. He could not articulate anything like he's not on something.
@RaRaMagic I accomplished an intellectual as yourself to reply with nothing but ripping on me, but you say you are better, you're not, that you have accomplished so much you have to rip on my comment. Wow, you smart man.
He talks like Biden? You might want to consume less News if you can’t watch a thing about feral cats without tying it to something totally unrelated. It’s tiring. Sheesh.
"Cats. I don't care about cats." There's the problem. I don't care if you like cats. If you ignore problems on your street, or in your community, they will become your problems.
lol where are the cats in Lakeview and uptown I'm going to call that rat city lol. I can count the amount of stray cats I've seen on 1and a half hands. rats huge ones I need a calculator 😂especially on Broadway and on Halsted
No. Trump had his minions kill the bill that would have addressed the current immigration situation so he could run on it. His supporters are stupid enough to believe it even though it common knowledge.
I think worthless human beings should be fined and put in jail and have to work at an animal shelter if they let their cats run out outside unattended and get pregnant. We shouldn’t have so many stray cats running around. And it’s always the cats that suffer. You don’t see dogs running around unattended or two-year-olds do you? I think this is a bunch of bullshit! Cats were meant to be kept inside and loved and cared for like any other pet.

@@klubs1 Exactly! Same here! Well said! I completely agree with you 100%.
1:38 Lady, you lost me at “I don’t care about cats”. You should be ashamed of yourself!
AGREED I STOPPED WATCHING
That part 😒
I leave my basement window open at night for the homeless cats who are looking for shelter. There's a giant bowl of food, water ,blankets and a cat litter box. I also have a camera set by the window so I can see the cats who come in. I love it!
God bless everyone who helps animals ❤❤❤❤
It's why Chicago doesn't have a rat problem like New York city does.
we must help cats
What are you talking about? I've socialized cats that have been born outside up to 6 months old. 🙄
We might have a lot of cats but we don’t have rodent problems.

And I bet that the worm lovers want the birds gone.
Yet you clearly care about cats, lol who cares if they get rid of a bunch of cats?
News flash: for those who REALLY care about birds, how about working on decreasing the number of birds that humans destroy, since humans destroy billions more.
Or, do you just have a beef against cats?

THAT PART!!!!!!
Feral cats on the west side are afraid of the rats. lol

I rarely see feral cats in Uptown.
0 bro little more then a year and a half I've seen like 4 but Broadway it's a gazillion huge rats everywhere. Lakeview on Halsted too😂😂

That reporter came to work on her wedding day?👰♀️😂
Anybody else notice the jacked woman at 3:01 of the video?

They probably come out at night.😅
How do feral cats stay warm in the cold chicago winter
Who is this woman's stylist, Delia Deetz?
Please do not pick another speaker like this one, he said "ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh," way too many times. He could not articulate anything like he's not on something.
Better than having reporters who don't know the south side from the north.
@RaRaMagic I accomplished an intellectual as yourself to reply with nothing but ripping on me, but you say you are better, you're not, that you have accomplished so much you have to rip on my comment. Wow, you smart man.
probably just a little nervous being in front of the camera.
I believe that is the tell of a former stutterer. The guy is interesting and intelligent, so I cut him some slack
@justdiane5 I stutter so it probably is aw aw aw is better than me pausing or cursing to avoid stuttering 😂
He talks like Biden. Leave those cats alone...
He talks more like a farmer. Farmers would kill anything feral that gets on their land. People don't like to talk about that, but it is what it is.

@@drjekelmrhydeFarmers frequently have feral barn cats. They keep the vermin down!
Neuter, release is a great policy! This is a city, not a wilderness!
Why does the woman in white look like she is about to time travel to her wedding day in 1986?
Reminded me of Morning Mimosa
"Cats. I don't care about cats." There's the problem. I don't care if you like cats. If you ignore problems on your street, or in your community, they will become your problems.
I bet the rat population is down in those areas.
letting cats roam free works for Istanbul, no reason it can't work for Chicago.
lol where are the cats in Lakeview and uptown I'm going to call that rat city lol. I can count the amount of stray cats I've seen on 1and a half hands. rats huge ones I need a calculator 😂especially on Broadway and on Halsted
Haitian Smorgasbord.
and the rats are running wild.....them cats ain't doing S H I T
Remember when Rahm touted the cats as the unpaid city workers? Guess he was wrong about keeping the rat population down
Barn cats are another alternative its best get kitten young so do not do tnr
Uh, uh ,uh.
uh, uh uh, uh, uh. WTF
Lmfao
Call some hatiens. They like cats.
You're a disgusting racist.
Bring in some Haitians
racist
Grow up
Bring in the Haitians.
Those animals cause quite a bit of destruction. They clean out the ducks and geese from the parks then raid the grocery stores!
Oh look, a MAGA weirdo.
I think that Trump and Vance may have a solution through immigration policy….
No. Trump had his minions kill the bill that would have addressed the current immigration situation so he could run on it. His supporters are stupid enough to believe it even though it common knowledge.
What a dumb comment.
