What is with the phenomenal number of street cats in Oman? What should one do with them? There's no pest control service to round them up and neuter, feeding them only creates more of a problem and trying to catch them to take to the Vets (I think Muscat Vets is the only one in the city) is another mission impossible altogether.
In case anyone else is focussed on doing their bit to limit the unwanted cat population of Oman, cardboard boxes do not contain stray cats and they also serve to act as quite a warning for the cat not to come too close! Cats are also very adept at leaping great heights, scaling trees and running fast - even on an empty stomach!
Reminds me of the story from a vet friend of mine, who used to use a blow pipe dart to knock out stray cats before taking back to his surgery for neutering! Now where can I get one of those in City Centre...
