All our cats (currently 4 inside, 1 out; as many as 12) are/were rescues.  In Japan,
most people don't want to neuter their cats with obvious results.  The kittens are
usually abandoned.  If they've built up good karma, someone will take care of them,
if not, they die.  In this part of America (rural Wisconsin, 30 miles SE of
Superior) people drop off unwanted kittens in the counry because farms "always" need
more cats (ha).  The 2 U.S. indoor cats were getting by on hunting, but they were
used to people and came in after a couple of days of feeding outside.  The outdoor
cat lives in one of the pole buildings (I think), but doesn't want to come in the
house.  Farmers around here shoot strays so people would do their unwanted animals a
favor by taking them to an animal shelter.
