See photo in post #72.

[Slings and Arrows]

That's Pinky. He's a very affectionate cat.

[Lady Jag]

All hell breaks out in the morgue if cats have any lives left. Just wait till they wake up.

[Lady Jag]

Police killing has gotten out of hand

[missyme]

OMG tell me there just sleeping? if they are the other my day is ruined!

[Cagey]

Lady Jag makes reference to them: "Just wait till they wake up. "

[steveo]

Busy? I've just spent four hours burying the cat!

[missyme]

Why are you burying the cat? Maybe he needs to be fed.

[Lady Jag]

They are merely sleeping. The only dead animal photo I ever posted was in sacrifice for the betterment of government:

[Springman]

I really don't know what to say. If they could drive the poor cat out of town to shoot it, they should have taken it to a Vet. and had him put to sleep.

[missyme]

I hate seeing pictures like that! You know I don't see that many dead cats on the road like I used to I think people are becoming more responsible that way..

Are those your kitties in that previous photo> they are so darn cute! you just want to eat em up!
I posted a picture of my little King "Zorro"

"If they could drive the poor cat out of town to shoot it, they should have taken it to a Vet. and had him put to sleep."

I know your correct, But then those coppers wouldn't have gotten any live fire practice don't ya know. they been needing to kill somethin. An excuse to fire their weapon is most likely the reasoning it came down this way.

If they could drive the poor cat out of town to shoot it, they should have taken it to a Vet and had him put to sleep.

Perhaps the dumbing down of America has spanned the Atlantic. What they did makes no sense at all, and then they put in the paper!

[Springman]

Well if they need "LIVE FIRE", they can move to Detroit. There can be some "ACTION" a couple miles down the road from here.

I'm just a softy when it come to cats, and when I had to put my kitty to sleep, I cried my eyes out.

They can shoot all the people they want, just don't shoot cats.

[Springman]

Well the Copper's did have to explain when one round went.

[Lady Jag]

You know I don't see that many dead cats on the road like I used to I think people are becoming more responsible that way..

Around these parts there are two kinds of cat people, those who still let their cats out and those who don't.

Those cats let out get eaten by coyote, et al, before they get run over by cars.

Those cats kept indoors have owners with brains enough to remember all the warnings about cats being food.

Indoor cats can live twice as long as those outdoors. I state it matter of factly because people who let their cats out don't listen, anyway.

[spodefly]

People tend to forget that a cat has 20 very sharp needles for fingers and a mouth full of daggers for teeth,

Actually, they have 18 claws (I refer to them as 'fish hooks'.) There are 4 each on the hind legs. That is, unless my cats are freaks of nature.

[Tabi Katz]

Agreed. Couldn't they try to give it pain killers and take it to a vet?

[Lady Jag]

Well the Copper's did have to explain when one round went.

Think Mrs. Springman could relate to this?

[RightWhale]

Weird. A floater just appeared on the screen. FR has been relatively immune to such things.
