'Leave it to the Sliwas,' former Republican mayoral candidate and perpetual red beret-wearer Curtis Sliwa said Wednesday, gesturing toward his cats.
“This is what me and my wife are experts in,” Sliwa told a reporter while gesturing to his cats. “Leave it to the Sliwas.”
“My stance is that I would prefer Curtis Sliwa not release a large number of feral cats,” Alise Morales, my friend and nearby neighbor of Mayor Adams, texted me this morning, upon learning of Sliwa’s plan for her block. Too bad, Alise. It’s cat city now.New year, new you. Early in the press conference, a reporter asked Sliwa’s thoughts on the fact that studies have shown that feral cats are not effective in reducing rat populations. Curtis responded confidently, though not really answering the question, “Remember, they don’t eat the rats, they just kill the rats. They are predatorial.”“The cats that are nocturnal are up, patrolling up and down” the block, Sliwa promised the crowd.

Letter: If you have pet cats, keep them indoors. It helps the birds.Bird watching is far different than watching birds. I learned this when we got a new kitten. Having had indoor-outdoor cats for more than 40 years, my wife now wants only indoor cats. Cats are willing to adapt to this with experience, but raising an indoor kitten includes the Zoomies, which were driving our 13-year-old indoor cat nuts. I happened to notice the bird feeders in Walmart one day, so I bought one, thinking that by hanging it in front of a window the cats could see, it might entertain them and cut down on the Zoomies. It did, in spades.
