Recession Means Feral Cat Population Continues to Grow

There are anywhere from 250 to 300 thousand stray and feral cats in the Las Vegas valley.  It's hard to get an exact count but animal protection advocates say they have methods of counting.  And they also say the number of feral cats and cat colonies has increased significantly with the recession; people just abandoning their homes and their cats.  We talk to a panel of animal advocates about efforts to control those populations.  They also help you understand how to deal with stray cats in your neighborhood.
