Hello permies! I would like to hear from anyone who has a cat or cats, and hear about how they effect your permie lifestyle, if the cat is considered your pet, a feral, or your soulmate. Please feel free to comment about how they help or hinder your permaculture or homestead, and please take this quick 3 question surve y. Thank you! https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/9ZG8ZRW

Depends upon which cat. I have a Bombay who is critical to keeping mice out of the house and food supplies. She appears to do zero damage to the bird population. But, much as I may like them, not all cats are so useful.

I figure if someone from the future hasn’t tried to stop me, I can’t be messing up that bad.

You might want to check out my thread https://permies.com/t/62282/critters/barn-farm-cats-folks about cats and if they fit in with permaculture.
