[Highland Park] Outdoor cats

Dear Fellow Cat Owners, I can't remember a time in my life when I did not own cats. This email is an appeal to fellow cat lovers, and particularly owners of outdoor cats, to please be mindful of the impact that our cats may have on the wildlife of our neighborhood. When I learned about the tremendous impact that domestic cats have on the songbird population in the U.S., I decided to keep my cat inside. Although this may not be the option that you choose for your four-legged-friend, would you please make sure that your outdoor cat wears a bell? Give our songbirds, squirrels, and other creatures a fighting chance! Thank you for your consideration, Melissa Rychener
