If there is a promised land for feral cats, it might be SMU, where dozens of them dine on hand-delivered kibble, sleep in custom-built shelters and lounge under their own personal hedges.They are attended to every night by a small army of volunteers, fed and fixed – a little snippet the cats don't seem to miss – on the university's dime.

On a wedge of land just southeast of campus, one colony has lately found itself back in the sewers – competing for the university's affections with the 43rd president of the United States.
A few years from now, the tract of land that flanks the eastern tip of Binkley Avenue will host the gleaming halls and manicured parks of the George W. Bush Presidential Center. At the moment, it looks like a pet store at the end of the world.

Officially, everyone is optimistic. Though a spokeswoman for the Bush library said she had no idea the cats existed, the university is confident an arrangement can be worked out in time.
