Not human resources: Animals have for centuries been used in warfare, often to deliver messages or for transportation, but also sometimes as weapons

I’m liking the flaming monkey thing myself.

During WWII millions spent on researching bat bombs, yep, fire bombs carried by bats, dispersed from a cannister bomb, that would nest in wooden Japanese buildings.

One test in the SW U.S. actually backfired (so to speak) when the bats nested in a wood frame hanger and set several buildings afire (proof of concept).

Yeah, that’ll work, because cats always do exactly what you want them to.

Call me a prepper or call me crazy, but I have been already hoarding my high cap cats in preparation for when everyone out of fear after the Great New York Confiscation occurs, then the rest of the nation caves in after watching a million plus bitter clingers are interned by UN troops and sent through reorientation courses to remove aggressions.

I have my Norwegian Forest cats, great climbers, more so after ten years of inbreeding has them all polydactyl.

My snowshoe cats are great in the snow, the black cats have a unique ability to always get exactly under your feet, these are my front line tripping troopers.

As a fabricator I can build any possible combinations of air cannons or trebuchets, as a cat owner of over 20 years believe me I have plenty of ammo to sling.

In the America of the progressives where all the guns are gone all we may have against tyranny is our pets, so for the sake of our dear kitties let kick their asses first with our right to bear arms first before we start slinging pyro kitties.

Perhaps the Viking Kitties are not a meme but a forward deployed offensive weapon. Just ahead of their time.
