A few weeks ago the class was visited by a man from the Animal Assistance Foundation. We were given four pages to record animals that we saw, feral, owned, or unknown. For the next two weeks I walked the normal route I took home and counted the animals that I saw.

I walked the same route everyday, and there are definitely more stray cats than there were dogs. Most of the dogs that I saw galavanting around had collars and tags. There was a large population of stray cats that live down the street from me in an empty house, this is where most of my cat data came from. I really hope that the information helps cats like the ones down the street.
