Enough with the petty, denigrating attacks people helping mostly harmless animals, which is a generally good thing. These rescuers/helpers run 'neuter and release' programs and are keen on having population control, not increasing the number of rogue cats.

Mostly harmless to you... What a strange thing to call what is effectively an apex suburban predator that is known to kill for fun with no intention of eating.
They are animals like any other, and this notion of 'apex suburban predator' is nonsense.
What's nonsense about it? These aren't raccoons digging through people's trash and scavenging, they hunt wildlife for food and are protected from everything that would hunt them in return, even getting food and water and potentially shelter in the worst months.
No way. Cats eviscerate bird population.
