Hi all, I have been reading this mailing list for about 6 years now, every since my now husband and I began dating. I wanted to learn more about Orkney since he is Orcadian and from North Ronaldsay. I have rarely seen North Ronaldsay come up on here but since the feral cat population is mentioned on here, I have to comment. I just asked me husband if he concurs with the Cats Protection Orkney since he is from there and his dad, two aunts and uncles, and a cousin still lives there. Thinking about it, he says he is sure it is been completed. He says that the council had a scheme up there that they could get the cats neutered for free. I have seen quite a few cats when on that island and it would be good if they did not overrun the island because the bird observatory would have a world of hurt if the birds had to deal with too many cats.
