Kitty of the Day (22 September 2017) is TIGER BABY. Part of the campus cats on the northern side, which included the tennis courts as part of their territory. He is inside now, with his family, Pancho and Bootsie-mama. Tiger Baby is very tame with me, but acts very feral with anyone he doesn't know. Also, once he is taken away from his family, to whom he is closely bonded, he also panics and acts feral. He loves to play and to be held when he is with me and with anyone who sees him regularly. When he was a kitten, he nearly died from a really awful cold infection (colds are not mild in cats). Now he is very healthy and is extremely athletic. This cat loves to jump high and climb.

Hank and Richie of Tawara Colony (Kitties of the Weekend, 16-17 September 2017)

Kitty of the Day is, well, Kitties of the Day--a two-cat special for the weekend of 16-17 September 2017--are Hank (left) and Richie (right, an all-black cat who is brothers with Buddy, now with me, and Frankie, RIP). I stop by at the Tawara colony to see them just about every day. They live behind the small post office there, and around the local public bath. There is also Cosmos, a friendly white and gray kitty, but he wasn't around when I took this photo. TNR and adoption have got the colony there down to 4 cats, but these overlap with the group at the SE corner of campus, in the neighborhood there, where there are about 5 cats still.

Kitty of the day is SEBASTIEN (14 September 2017). He was in desperate condition when I rescued him. He was an outdoor FIV pos. cat who did not have long to live. He came inside and has been with me for 6 years. It's not easy being an FIV pos. cat. But I try to limit his stress, make sure he gets a very good diet. I think the love he gives to and gets from me and Pongo keeps him going. He is the easiest cat to photo. He's always photo-bombing Pongo when I try to photograph Pongo.

福井大学がキャンパス内の猫の世話を禁止、猫たちの未来は

http://jp.globalvoicesonline.org/2015/05/30/36437/

チャールズ・ジャヌッツイ氏は25年間、彼が勤める大学敷地内に暮らす野良猫の繁殖抑制に取り組んできた。しかし現在、大学側との対立を余儀なくされている。

キャンパス内にいる野良猫への餌やりやその他の世話の一切が禁じられたため、ジャヌッツイ氏はインターネット署名を開始した。その名も「To University of Fukui: Stop starving the cats who live on campus 福井大学に対する嘆願書:キャンパス内の猫を飢えさせるのは止めてください！」、4月24日の時点で2,300以上の署名が集まっている。

University Professor Fights Campus Administration To Keep Cats From Starving

Article on us at Cat Galaxy.

http://www.catgalaxymedia.com/catfactor/?p=411

To University of Fukui: Stop starving the cats who live on campus. 福井大学に対する嘆願書:キャンパス内の猫を飢えさせるのは止めてください！

Why this is important

Starving the cats is not a humane solution to the issue of cats on campus. It is not even a solution. The solution is to allow and cooperate with the volunteers who want to finish spaying and neutering the cats. Then the cats can be properly fed and cared for. The ones who are suitable can be adopted. The others will live out their lives and actually keep new cats away from campus.

キャンパス内の猫を飢えさせるのは止めてください！

私は日本の福井市の福井大学の准教授です。福井大学の文京 キャンパスでは、猫たちが小さな集団を作って暮らしています。現在キャンパスには12匹の猫が暮らしていると推測しています。ほとんどの猫はキャンパス内 で生まれましたが、迷子になった猫と捨てられた猫もこの集団に加わっています。

3年前より、工学部の一部の人がキャンパスの一部（南西部の隅）で猫の家族に餌を与えていました。しかし、この猫たちは不妊手術を受けていませんでした。そのため、猫の数は10匹まであっという間に増えました。

過去6か月にわたり、私はキャンパス内およびキャンパスのすぐ南東の近くで暮らすすべての猫に不妊手術を受けさせてきました。不妊手術を受けさせる必要のある猫はまだ3匹残っています。

しかしながら、福井大学は私の活動に反対しています。大学側は私に餌を与えること、不妊手術を受けさせることなど、すべてを止めるよう命令しています。

この問題に対し大学側が提案した解決策は猫を餓死させることです。

こ れは解決法とは言えません。本当の解決法は、すべての猫に不妊手術を受けさせること、猫を迎えてくれる家庭を見つけること、キャンパス内の猫の数を健全な 数に保つことです。キャンパスに残った猫たちが新たな猫がキャンパスに来ることを防いでくれます。多くの学生および大学職員は猫が好きであり、キャンパス で猫を見かけるのを楽しみにしています。大学当局が承認してくだされば、猫の世話をボランティアで引き受けてくれる人も出てくるでしょう。

猫を飢え死にさせることは解決法ではありません。

キャンパス内の猫が生きていけるよう、福井大学にお願いしてください。この嘆願書に署名をお願いします。そしてこの件を他の方と共有してください。

Additional background explanation:

I am an associate professor at the University of Fukui, Fukui City, Japan. The Bunkyo Campus of the university has a small colony of cats on it. I estimate that there are now 12 cats living on campus. Most were born here, but strays and abandoned cats have added to the population.

From three years ago, some people at the College of Engineering were feeding a family of cats in that part of the campus (the southwest corner). But they were not doing spaying or neutering. So the population quickly grew to over 10 cats.

For the past 6 months, I have been spaying and neutering all the cats on campus and also at a near-by colony just southeast of campus. There are still 3 cats that need to be spayed or neutered.

However, the university opposes my activities. They are ordering me to stop feeding, spaying, neutering, everything.

Their proposed solution to the issue is that the cats should starve.

This is not a solution. The solution is to complete the spaying and neutering, find homes for those that are adoptable, and maintain a healthy population on campus. The cats that remain will keep new cats from coming onto campus. Many students and members of the faculty like the cats and enjoy seeing them on campus. Some would volunteer to help take care of the cats if the university administration would approve.
