Hello Ken:

"Oh, and thank you for not expressing any wish to trap, poison or skin this
cat you mentioned. Maybe there is hope for you yet."

Trapping is my next move, it is the suggestion of the Humane Society as the
only way to deal with the cats that are illegally roaming around unleashed,
and there is a leash law in King County and in most areas of the Puget Sound
region. The owners of these malicious invaders are in violation of local
law. I haven't seen an unleashed dog around here for more than a year, why
should cat owners be special? The cats are not only killers, but they poop
in neighbors (not the owners) flower beds. I don't wish to live with cat
turds either. The cats aren't at fault, it is owners who believe that
because they have a cat they are somehow special and above both the law and
common neighborly decency. Your remarks may be all that I need to trap the
dozen or so cats that come through my yard. Thanks for the reminder.
