Un-f#$%*ing believable.
All my cats are rescues that I found as abandoned kittens. Meaning some lovely person dumped newborn kittens on the seal cliffs at the end of a dirt road. I wasn't looking to own cats at the time but I certainly wasn't going to let poor defenseless animals die either.
At first I was going to have them be indoor only cats but two of them would go nutty trying to get outside and would claw their way through window careening to get outside. (I rescreened my sliding lanai door 3x - even pet proof screening didn't work.) They don;t roam too far (just a couple doors in either direction. but for the most part hang around the yard.
My next door neighbor often lets his medium size dog loose and this dog frequently comes in my yard and takes a dump and chases my cats. Neighbors don't care. I have piles of dog **** all over my yard from this dog. Now, following the logic of some people on this thread, I should be able to 1) shoot my neighbor's dog because it tries to harm my livestock (my cat) or 2) let loose my very large pure bred dog (the breed of which is often used by police units) to deal accordingly with said neighbor dog.
If reincarnation exists, then I hope certain posters on this thread come back in their next life as mice. [:0]
