Seagull Steve clearly and amusingly lays out the reasons to keep cats indoors, where they belong. Go check out “The Horrible Truth About Cats (For Nonbirders).”
Corey is a New Yorker who lived most of his life in upstate New York but has lived in Queens since 2008. He's only been birding since 2005 but has garnered a respectable life list by birding whenever he wasn't working as a union representative or spending time with his family. He lives in Forest Hills with Daisy and Desmond Shearwater. His bird photographs have appeared on the Today Show, in Birding, Living Bird Magazine, Bird Watcher's Digest, and many other fine publications. He is also the author of the American Birding Association Field Guide to the Birds of New York.
Well, at least indoor cats are available on the computer if I have a bird ID question. 🙂
