Don't feed the cats

The Downey Rose Float is stored in a building on the abandoned south campus of Rancho Los Amigos Hospital. It's a fascinating and picturesque area, and we've done a lot of posts from here. I couldn't resist snapping a few new shots on my way to see the float last week.

The buildings are still abandoned and boarded up. And the feral cats are still everywhere, along with the warnings not to feed them.

Back in 2008, there was talk of building a data center here, but the plans were blocked because of the cats. At that time, there were 150 wild cats. Efforts were made, obviously unsuccessfully, to relocate the cats to barns where they could be useful in hunting rats.
