They were so happy I would adopt 10. “Just a few questions,” they said. “Will you give them a good safe home?” “Of course, I said, but there are coyotes that kill a few cats around so I might lose one or two.” Aghast, they said, ”two dead kittens, no adoptIon!!!!” I said, “what’s the problem?” There are millions more cats every year, but bird populations are down 30% and no one cares if a few of my feeder birds are killed every year hitting my windows. I love those birds.” “Really,” she said? “No adoption, no way.” “Hey wait,” I objected, “ I’m not to blame for wild coyotes.” “Really,” she responded, “Are your windows wild animals?
