HUNTING 2017

[Ryan]

He probably would have ate more but I had to garbage it before the girls seen. Dog lover= cat hater? I don't hate dogs or talk about killing them when they piss on my tires or shit on my lawn or act unpredictable.

 

[stig]

I don't hate cats.

At least not when they are dead.


Denmark has a population of 6 million people and 3 million feral cats.
I do my best to remedy the last part of that.

I had an indoor cat once. It killed two sofas, a loveseat, many drapes, a really nice statue of "The Last Supper", and countless glasses that were inadvertently left near the edges of tables. I say leave them outside where they can kill things I didn't pay for.

Because of their wanton killing, even the experts say cats shouldn't live outdoors. You can google it.

I'm afeered a cat wouldn't live long INSIDE at my house. I have never cared for any animals indoors.

My Chihuahua tries really hard to kill the vacuum cleaner when it's running. Funny to watch, but I'm afraid the dingbat is gonna break a tooth.

 

[squisher]

I like dogs and cats. Both inside and out.

 

[Ryan]

I can't fault Stig for hating cats. 3 million ferals is alot of vermin.

Australia war on cats

Killing machines.

Our greenies up here ( I call them leaf lickers) don't necessarily like cats. Always saying how harmful they are to local wild life. IE squirrels, birds, reptiles.
I got news. We feed the wild life with them. Coyotes, Hawks, Buzzards, Bobcats, Cougars. About everything eats em.

 

[MasterBlaster]

None of those critters in my hood.

 

[Burnham]

That puts them middle of the food chain, Stephen...and we know that it's about 10,000 to 1 prey taken by an individual animal at any particular level than by the next level above. I think the planet's native populations of little critters would be way better off if domestic cats were extinct. They got plenty enough cards stacked against them as it is.

I'd rather have one Scott's Oriole in Cochise Stronghold, AZ than all the domestic cats in New York City.

Though the rats and mice thing does mitigate, for sure .

 

[Mellow]

Dogs have owners. Cats have staff.

Ancient Egyptians revered cats as gods. Cats have never forgotten this.

 

[stig]

I like dogs and cats. Both inside and out.

"Outside of a dog, a book is a man's best friend. Inside of a dog it's too dark to read."

That was Groucho Marx, not me.

 

[Mellow]

I was thinking Mark Twain.

 

[cory]

The NYT article explains that a lot of small critters native only to Australia and having been around for millions of years, are in serious danger of extinction due to cats. That's something to think about.

 

[squisher]

I don't live in Australia. But I'll consider it.

 

[Steve Mack]

I do, friggin' cats.

Build the wall!

 

[Ryan]

Note to self: don't show wife a picture of her favorite cat beside a dead baby bunny. She now refers to him as "The Murderer."

The Stephen's Island Wren in New Zealand Xenicus lyallii

Was wiped out by a single cat.
There was a lighthouse on the island, and the lighthouse keeper had a cat, which took out the whole population of Wrens.

It would have been a pleasure to put a bullet in that cat, really.
