Cats, Not Cars, Cause…Climate Change? (MEOW?)

Well, you can save your money and forget about buying that Prius. Because apparently cats, not cars, cause “climate change.” That’s the latest according to some research studies.

The problem is reportedly due to a cat “epidemic” in the U.S., where the entire feline population has tripled in the last four decades to some 600 million furry critters. The studies report that “global warming” prompts cats to breed like, well, rabbits, and once there’s an “overpopulation,” our furry feline friends start killing off eco-saving birds en masse.

Sounds like a lose, lose. Right?

MotherJones reports:

Typo. EX-male cat. Officially, he’s an oriental shorthair, but looks Siamese. Wierd, but not in the way you wondered about.

Those kittens in the photo are adorable. One litter, I’d guess.

“THe libs’ conclusions such as banning all pet ownership, etc because of this (ie zero tolerance logic, TSA logic) instead of just hammering down hard on the obvious problem people, proves yet again you can give people facts but you can’t get them to come to a logcial conclusion.”

You can lead a libtard to reason, but you cannot make him think.

I’m not sure I’ve ever seen an ugly kitten. :)

Thank you! :^)

To add to the story ... I have another friend, stands about 6'3", very fit, very sweet and soft-spoken and a gentleman of great courtesy, but who exudes that quality of being Someone Other Guys Cross at Their Own Great Risk. Perhaps you know the type. He was an MP in the military in Viet Nam as a young man, and my husband (who was also in the military during VN) tells me that to do that job, you had to be ONE TOUGH JOE.

This guy melts when it comes to cats, and woe be unto any man he saw trying to kill cats for no other reason than that they annoyed him. I know another guy who was an ace fighter pilot AND a Top Gun instructor. Same thing -- he is a sap-and-a-half when it comes to cats. :^)

I have always felt that REAL MEN LOVE CATS. I know another veteran from viet nam who helps with rescuing cats....
GOOD PEOPLE!

Yep! And just to boost our take on cat saps of the male human persuasion, uber-liberal Public Radio icon Garrison Keillor (I used to love his show "Prairie Home Companion," though even before I knew his politics, his smug tone rankled), declared that when a man loves cats, it's a sign of emotional immaturity! (I am convinced that it was a dig at Rush Limbaugh, whom Keillor probably considers the anti-Christ).

One more reason to be very suspicious of cat-hating men!
