Cats, and lots of them too

Maybe less than five minutes ago, as I was taking the recycling out, I was walking down the deck, when I almost ran over something. A cat. It was a wakeup call, at night no less, as I honestly wasn't expecting that. Then again, it's been more or less a minefield on our lawn lately, with all the miscellaneous cats lying around the lawn. It's getting pretty ridiculous.
