Or maybe we just heard it too many times and are getting brainwashed...

"The maintenance of feral cat colonies (commonly known as TTVNR) is a serious problem that is strongly condemned by the SRCO."
-The Society for Responsible Cat Ownership

It's not about hating cats, it's doing what's reasonable or not.

[farmfriend]

Quick register ferral cats as an endangered species.

[Abundy]

A buddy had feral cats in an abandoned barn on his farm...they are fast, smart and vicious.

We honed our handgun skills on them...or should I say, tried to. They are definately a highly skilled predator and can disappear faster than a surplus in a state run by liberals.

However, I would love to have a couple of them where I live now. If I hear one more friggan bird at 0500 I'm gonna run amuck with my wingmaster...

Yeah those grackles at 5 am with their squawking babies really drive me batty. I don't mind the other ones, they tend to not make as much racket. I took the nests down that they were building around our house and then little by little I'm getting rid of the cedars we have close to the house. One left and I did have to pull a nest out of there this year, because it was right by our bedroom window.

My dog has caught a couple of their babies that came from across the street, when I let him out in the backyard in the morning. They just happened to be there when I opened the door.

[Terriergal]

Not sure what you mean?

[smoking camels]

Kill my bluebirds on MY property? You die. Period.

Hint: it takes more than a BB gun!

[Tennessee_Bob]

LOL! Go back, read it again, and tell me if you think I'm shooting bluebirds.

[smoking camels]

No no! I meant that as if I was speaking to the cats.

[Ben Bolt]

Its always nice to know that some special interest group will come to rescue me . Just kidding .

[Abundy]

It seems our beagle has a taste for baby bird as well.....I think our cat is catching them and leaving them semi-alive for the beagle to eat, as we run into the same problem in the morning...out go the dogs and gulp go the birds...

The cat and the two dogs have a very strange relationship...

[Ben Bolt]

If you insist then so be it . I dont believe .

[Terriergal]

Gotta be careful... can't they pick up salmonella and/or giardia from birds?

[Terriergal]

Why, are you a stray tomcat? ;-)

Did anyone figure out where Conservobabe was going with her comment or was she just a slap and run?

[Terriergal]

He bought the rifle to protect the bluebirds from the roaming cats, silly!

[smoking camels]

I know. I meant that if I catch a cat killing my bluebirds I will KILL the cat. And legally so.

[Tennessee_Bob]

It's ok, mom, we worked it out...

[Ben Bolt]

That is so funny ! My 2 cats think they pay the mortgage for goodness sakes . 1 of them steps on the lizards we have down here just enough to clip the end of the tail off . I dont get it but that is what she does .

[Abundy]

I'm beginning to believe that the only thing that can kill a beagle is its owner - and even that would take some doing. (I think the guy who dreamed up the monster in the "Alien" series owned a couple of beagles.)

I look at it this way, the cats and dogs would be killing and eating whatever they could in the wild - and I don't think they would eat something that would kill them. Well, at least the Labrador wouldn't - beagles are just hard-headed, brain-dead animals. (But I wouldn't trade mine for anything.)
