Apr 01, 2020 09:21 AMYeah, I wonder what they will do with it. They don't like to relocate them very far from where they are captured in case they are putting into conflict with the territory of an existing cat. Sometimes the ones in residential neighborhoods are sick from rodenticides and that's why they are there. We don't really make space for other predators in our world.
