i really kinda glad to see this about ohio.

"I was surprised by how many households were feeding cats," Lord said. "In an ideal world, if you're going to take the responsibility to feed a cat, which is going to make it viable longer, then it would be best to at least try to get the cat altered, so it's not adding to the numbers."

The spay/neuter rate for cats among the surveyed owners ranged from an average of 75 percent in rural areas to 90 percent in urban areas, but "there is a huge population of cats that people provide some care for but don't consider their own," Lord said"


So at least its not all bad news.
