I have enormous respect for you, @MargaretRenkl, as a writer [my NPR review of 'Late Migrations' last year said as much]. I've had a complicated response today to your new essay on this feral cat /1 nytimes.com/2020/08/03/opi… #feralcats #cats #animals First, I very much appreciate the shift from 'I would never kill a cat, but I can surely hate one with a murderous rage' to 'A feral cat — like a house cat allowed to roam outdoors — is not an evil creature.' As someone who has rescued and loved feral cats, I am grateful. /2
