Thank you @JeanLouiseFinch ...this was #4. 

 Although it appears to me as smaller than my Android.

I think most everyone who needs the enlarged font would be happy with #4. That's what I chose for this post too.  People also have the option of enlarging their screen and font with the pinch & spread technique.

❓ I am assuming that this is larger at #4, @JeanLouiseFinch ....Much better with bold, though. 

 Will try to keep that in mind. ✳️ 

 A few posters use #5, also. 

🔜 I am adjusting the #1 by pinching.  I just pass by on those, but not here frequently. I've run into that many times.  

      HOPING that Pam is feeling much better.

I TOTALLY agree with you. I detest people who buy pets and then allow them to roam freely. I happen to love dogs (don't own one though) but hate cats. Even though I love dogs, I don't want someone's animal roaming my property. I have a neighbor who feeds stray cats and because she feeds them, they meander my property. I drop hints but she obviously does not care. It's funny though, we live in a rural community and when she was putting cat food out and just leaving it, it drew possums to her porch. Woulda thought this would stop her, but no, she had someone KILL the possums. I like to leave my garage door open throughout the day, but I can't do this any longer because the cats make their way in. I dont get her thinking and like I said I don't want to make an enemy of her....she's my SIL....lucky me, huh.

I take care of a group of ferals that have been TNR and have seen females spray.
Not sure why but they do spray.

@wannabee1 is she your neighbor or SIL? Why don't you tell your brother then.

Okay, I'm going off topic a little, but since people here have mentioned aiding ferals outside, I'm jumping in with my 2 cents.

Not a good idea.

Ferals outside.  They may be getting fed, they may be getting fresh water (really needs to be changed throughout the day and not a good idea feral cats sharing the same food and water dishes), but they are not getting the veterinary attention they need.

You can bet, they are full of worms, have fleas, ear mites, bad toothaches and a host of other rather uncomfortable issues that aren't getting addressed.

Sure they show up at feeding time, but that doesn't mean they feel good.  They can be in a great deal of pain and you're not helping that!  You're just feeding them....

Ferals can be great house pets, it takes time and a little effort, but so worth it.  

Just think, they fix the cats and then release them to the wild while they are still sore from the surgery.

Cats can't talk, cats can't complain.  They just have to deal....it's an awful cycle you're spinning, if all you do is feed them.

Could anyone please, please have a suggestion for help in preventing stray cats for doing their business on or in front of my front door?  Very disgusting.  Thank you in advance.

@little missy 

What have you tried already?   Good suggestions here and Google is your friend.

I had to look up "Cat TNR."  (Then had to look up "EarTipping.

I was unfamilar with this acronym & eartipping

"says:

How to TNR | What is TNR? - Neighborhood Cats

(Humanly)    Trap-Neuter-Return, or TNR, involves fixing, vaccinating and eartipping the feral and stray cats in a colony, then returning them to their territory.

        I had to look up:     What is "eartipping?"

If you have community cats (also called feral or stray cats) in your neighborhood, you may have noticed that some or all of these outdoor cats have an ear that is squared off instead of pointy at the tip. Are these cats with the tipped ears making a new fashion statement? Has plastic surgery gone to the cats? Here are some answers to frequently asked questions about ear-tipping.

What is ear-tipping?

Ear-tipping involves surgically removing a small portion of one of a cat’s ears while the cat is under anesthesia for spay or neuter surgery. It is the universally accepted way to signify that a community cat has been spayed or neutered, which means no new kittens will be born, and that’s a good thing.

The ear-tipping procedure is generally done as part of a trap-neuter-vaccinate-return (TNVR) program, which involves humanely trapping community cats, vaccinating them, getting them spayed or neutered, and then returning them to their neighborhoods to live out their lives. TNVR is the best way to humanely reduce the population of outdoor, ownerless cats.

So I say:      WELL, I"LL BE DARNED!!   New to me
