    Are you fostering by any chance? That is a lot of cats/kittens at different ages. I say a lot HA That is only two for every one of mine. Hmmm, maybe I should rethink my comment :lol:

    Anyway, actually seen in our yard outside... Deer, raccoon, fox, red and gray squirrels, chipmunks, countless rabbits, tons of different types of birds, hawks (had a bit too much interest in the chickens, same with the fox!) Chickens, 4 beehives, great horned owl but I haven't seen him in a few years I hear him alot. I have heard coyotes but never seen them. My dog is inside outside. Inside 5 cats and the occasional mouse that has made a very poor decision. Sometimes they escape, most times they don't.

    I have an orange striped, bobtail (born that way) cat inside who is very cuddly. Outside, there are other cats, baby birds born in the spring in the nests and houses on the patio shelf, blue jays, flocks of geese, occasional huge flocks of crows as well as flocks of another bird that swoop around, land on the ground and trees and then take off again, and squirrels. One time, someone had apparently put out a chunk of bread that a squirrel found, and tucked into a wooden box of fake flowers that I had sitting on the front porch railing. That made me laugh.

    Inside two spoiled rotten cats. Outside deer, rabbit, wild turkey, redfox (once had a family of mom dad and 8 kits) rabbits, coyote, skunk, opposum, racoons, all kind of birds. We love feeding the birds in the winter. We feed the hummingbirds in the summer. We've had our house for sale twice and I would miss all the wildlife if and when we move.

    Outside squirrels, chipmunks, coyote, bears, deer, a few snakes, birds - a few rabbits - when the coyote population is up the rabbit population is down, stray cats, etc.

    Inside - Liliana Grace. Lily is a rescue Siberian/Shiba Inu. A tall, beautiful, gentle animal with a bit of Sibe stubbornness, but not much. My imp is Moira Mae, a Border Collie mix. Another rescue who was very near death when the shelter gave her to me. She is a happy, fun loving little dog, though a bit on the protective side.

    Inside: A Boston Terrier, (Cow), 3 tortoises, 4 turtles, a husband and two boys.

    Outside: since we are in NYC there is not much wild life except for an occasional squirrel balancing on the electric wires, but I am near a college campus and sometimes there are some unidentifiable living creatures walking down the street that I can not place. We have a guy on a skateboard when there is a foot of snow on the ground, a girl on a wheelchair in the middle of the road, a blond huge afro (don't ask) and many other things that I have to label as wild life. I haven't seen any yet, but there has to be a roach somewhere.

    I have a friend in Cadillac. The end of their road is state land, so everytime she pulls in her drive she has to make sure there aren't any bear, before she gets out of her car.

    We have mice, squirrels and birds outside. Pigeons, seagulls, and sparrows are the most common birds I've seen. And I've seen rats in the subway terminal. The mice only come inside to visit us occasionally, and I thank God we don't have cockroaches or bed bugs. There's also a few cats who seem to patrol the neighborhood. They appear to take their "job" very seriously.

    Here in Brooklyn, the wildlife tends to me more human.
