: Not sure if you are looking for casual observation, but, here goes...
: I'm not familiar with areas south of Governor's Harbour, but north of there, James Cistern seems to have a resident population of "roaming" and breeding potcakes. Every time I go through that area, there are always several dogs cooling themselves in the sea. Hatchet Bay has a smaller but breeding population and Gregory Town has a small breeding population, as well. Never really noticed any around Bogue, and I'm not really familiar enough with the Current area to have noticed any roamers.
: Thanks for the replies folks. We have been asked to determine
: : the feasibility of bringing to Eleuthera the spay/neuter program that has been very successful in Abaco. Our intention is to do the Abaco Air Fri-Sun round trip out of Marsh Harbour, rent a car and look around. Plan is for this to be done in October.
: : Any input from this board as regards your perception of the "roaming" potcake (and potcat) population would be welcome.
There are lots of potcakes roaming around in Rock Sound. As you probably know, it is difficult to know who, if anyone, 'owns' them. I think people would welcome a neutering program there. Someone did it in Rock Sound with cats a few years back and it definitely cut back on the stray cat problem.
