anybody remember Does your child know the difference between a cat... and a rat??? ... Shamefully I will relate this: My25 pound black cat, Rummy, got loose one night just about dusk. The l’il bastard usually comes right back. About two hours into nightime, I saw something black on the back porch (the light distorts stuff), and said “ Come here you little shiitehead” and reached down to pick him up by the scruff of the neck. Was a skunk that I threw about 25 feet. As soon as the skunk was over the hedge, Rummy ran in the door.
