    In Minnesota, we let five months of inhospitable winter do the dirty work for us.

      I’ve got bad news if you think cats don’t survive winter… And I’m living in a more northern region too…

        It definitely culls our local population.

          Or there is just more predation in the winter, more starvation, or more car strikes; you don’t know it’s the cold

            I don’t understand your point. I’m saying the effects of an inhospitable winter environment does quite a bit of the dirty work for keeping feral cat populations in check. Were you agreeing with me?
