I've been noticing that frogs seem to be late showing up to the ponds this year. Is it just too cold, or could the rise in cat populations around my area be having a negative impact on the local wildlife?

Cats probably aren't the main issue this time. Last season, we had a huge decline in insects, which likely affected the frogs' food supply. I’ve heard stories of rats eating frog spawn too!
Frogs have shown up early in the past, but it really varies year by year. I can't wait for the frog parties to start!
I think it's just a bit too early for frogs. They typically don’t appear until it warms up a bit more. You might just need to wait a little longer!
