When cat feeding spots and bird habitat overlap
The park's stray cat feeding spots overlap with bird habitat, but the scale of the impact is still being checked. Moving them outward increases caregivers' travel and it is uncertain whether the cats will follow, and spreading them across several spots increases management and complaint contacts. Considering care, habitat, and residents' daily life, where should the feeding spots be placed?
