DANG CATS

[BillyP]

Since this site is a Family Oriented site. I really don't think all this talk about killing cats would qualify?

Well not all the talk seems to be about killing the cats.

You're right, Bob. Not all...

The big hearted wife feeds the strays until they think they have a new home. Then she puts them in a cage and gives them to a neighbor down the road that likes barn cats.

We're both allergic to cats.

for the record we have two dogs and two cats- cats are restricted to the house- dogs spend most of the in the house- outside either with supervision, on a tether or in an enclosure. Strays that come and go do just that- come and go. If they were to take up a more permanent residence, various methods would be employed. If the animal is sick or a danger, more drastic measures would be moved up the list of otpions- but would not be the first option. Sorry if I offended anyone.

AB4D, good for you and I totally agree!

To me, as a pet owner, I expect, or perhaps even demand, that other pet owners be responsible owners. I willingly concede that some animals OCCASIONALLY get loose and stray from home, but the responsible pet owner gets the animal, brings it back, fixes the fence (or door, or chain, or whatever) and the animal is basically somehow confined to the property for the vast majority of its life. My 2 dogs are both fixed (I have both a male and a female) and neither stray off my land. Both have followed me to my neighbors, but neither have gone there without me first being there. We keep them fenced in a very large area and if a neighborhood cat, dog, or wild raccoon, rabbit or whatever ends up in that area . . . well folks but it won't survive and I make no apologies for that because the animinal should not have wandered into that area.

For the pet owners who do not spay/neuter and let their animals roam 24/7, all I can say is that I hold them in contempt. They are screwing up the ecosystem and the habitat of the native wildlife. Depending on the breed & health & disposition/temperment of their pet, they may even be endangering children, adults & animals (both domestic & wild) who encounter those animals.

To ANYONE who gets their panties in a bunch if someone shoots your free roaming animal/pet because it was perceived to be a nuscience then I am absolutely sorry but you should take a look at yourself and your values before you start to suggest that others are wrong. If people find these statements offensive, then realize I probably find your statements just as offensive. So be it.

Well said, i couldnt have said it better myself!

How about a thread that focuses on recipies? Seems to me that would resolve the problem in due course.

Mornin Bob,
Just drive down to your local Chinese Restaurant Im sure they can give you all the recipes you could possibly want
