The cats we encountered were either indoors or close to home with collars and a ready purr. We saw no obvious strays. The winters are just too cold, I guess.

Stray cats were everywhere. Some lingered near food sources, others were tended to by good samaritans.
 All seemed well fed and healthy, if a little tinged by city dirt.
