If you remember the Star Trek episode with tribbles, you'll recall those cute, little furry creatures that everyone loved -- at least until furballs began spilling out of every nook and cranny, threatening the survival of the Enterprise. It turned out that tribbles are born pregnant and hungry, almost like feral cats, except feral cats are natural born killers of our wildlife, whether they are hungry or not.

Tribbles are a perfect analogy for feral cats. The way some of their enablers behave you'd think they're the only animal in the world... and they will be if they get their way.
