Question Type
ID the (Dis)agreement

Stimulus
Sharita offers an explanation for why there are so many stray cats around. In her opinion it is because people fail to have their cats spayed or neutered when they are unwilling to take care of their cat's offspring. Chad then offers that stray cats are more than just a nuisance, but also spread diseases and cause injuries to other cats and humans.
