Feline Urbanism

So everyone has seen the feral cat running around here and there.  Have you ever consider that those cats are simply tourists, coming to visit your town, from their City?


Their City is Caboodle Ranch, a 30-acre, "Feline City", near Lee, Florida in Madison County, maybe 30 miles west of Lake City.  There, founder Craig Grant, has created a sanctuary for over 650 abused or "discarded" cats.  But what catches my particular interest, is the community he's set up for the cats.  It's complete with homes, a main street, a church, a Walmart, and Town Hall.  I imagine they have the full assortment of political problems - tea party republicats or liberal democats. (Sorry, too hard to pass up)




All jokes aside, Mr. Grant is an incredible man.  Spend any time on his website and you'll see his dedication to helping cats is beyond question.  I think it's quite funny that Caboodle Ranch has a nice town layout and better landscape facilities than the accompanying town of Lee.  Stephen Colbert also covered Caboodle Ranch a few weeks ago - quite funny.
