Presenting a brand-spanking-new feature here at Unleashed: "Don't. Just Don't." Here, we'll cover all the ill-advised ideas we silly humans have for dealing with animals. Generally speaking, they don't turn out well. For example:
A Boynton Beach, Fla., man told police that he'd been trying to teach his ill-mannered cat a lesson when he carried it to his garage, where he fired his handgun into a flotation device. The resulting noise, apparently, was intended to scare the animal in an effort to convince it to do its business in the litter box (desired) rather than on the bed (where it apparently left a mess, causing the unfortunate firearm business).

One of my cats (I am owned by five) knows which button turns on the heater. Obviously not a problem in the summer, but during winter, I have to make sure I unplug the thing before I leave the apartment, or I will come home to see the whole gang toasting blissfully in front of it.
LOL! ‘The (toasty) Gang of Five’.
Goes to show that cats are more like people, in fur.=^..^=
Very true.
Thanks, very funny.
The only bad thing is, is that you got me started on watching a hundred cat and dog videos on youTube. It’s like potato chips, you can’t eat just one and you can’t just watch one youTube video. Pretty soon, hours have gone by and you wind up watching the most stupid (but funny) things on video.
This is an example of someone who needs to have his 2A rights revoked AND his right to possess animals revoked. Can’t see how he’d be safe around children either — just imagine his theories on toilet-training . . .
My cat on the other hand won’t take orders or learn..etc..

Cat was watching you with Dog and picked up on how to fire the weapon.
Watch for Cat to bust a cap in your 6 any day now...
Oh poor kitteh! I hope you find its home soon. You’re so kind.
BWAAAHAAAA argh, HAAA BAHAAAA
Hubby and I have taken in “difficult” cats like our Miss Hissy Slashy, and eventually with kindness and love, they come around. The late Slinker took many years, but he was doing quite well. He had lymphoma. Miss H/S (her name is really Bobbie) is turning into quite the pet monger these days. She loves her pets, and the last time she bit Hubby, she didn’t even break the skin. Great strides.
“cat bust a cap”, LOL.
Those kitties are pretty smart. And tough.
It wouldn’t work on the crowd of cats I had growing up. They used to follow me when I went hunting. When a squirrel hangs in a tree, its good to have a well trained loyal cat go up and get it for you.
Thank you! I have never seen the whole commercial. That was funny!
That is why the holster has a hole on the other end, to prevent the holster from being damaged when you point at it inadvertantly while holstering.
Inever shoot a floatation device. they cost money
Cats can be taught anything you make it worth their time to learn. Every single cat I’ve ever known, including the strays who weren’t supposed to be named (cuz you know what naming an animal means, right?) learned their name very quickly, more so if it netted them food.
All 4 of our cats are also trained to come to an indicated place. 3 do it reliably, the fourth is a bit slower and more skittish but lately he’s figured out he gets lavished with attention and brushing if he goes along so he’s getting better about it as well.
There are cats at my local shooting range that can sleep through 20 people blasting away at targets. Stone deaf or extremely mellow. . .
