[obol] Bald Eagle & Cat

[sandyleapt at comcast.net]

Hi folks, I know an inside cat is a happy cat.   Apartments have proliferated in the area I live in.  Unfortunately, SOME not all, apartment dwellers are not good pet owners and they leave their cats behind when they move out. 

I try not get too involved anymore, but jump in when I absolutely have to.
