If I catch it, can I keep it?

Gee, if you bag it, will they let you keep the pelt?

(If the answer is "yes" I'll be mightily tempted to take a few days' vacation and drive over there . . . add another kitty to my collection.)

I'd be more worried about the meth lab and the meth heads, then the big kitty cat. 

Another vote for letting LS have it.  =D =D
Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

Think we could train the tiger to kill and eat meth heads?

That's what her other cats are for, right?  House cats are high cuisine for a tiger.

At first glance, I thought the Tiger might be attacking vehicles.  :)

Well... if it was a WEST Texas tiger hunt I'd be down with it.

That state's too dang big to drive through.  Done it twice... don't want to do it again.  Even for kitty-hunting.

I needed a mod to change my signature because the concept of "family friendly" eludes me.
Just noticed that a mod changed my signature. How long ago was that?

Don't shoot a perfectly good guard tiger! Tame it and train it!

Then get your gay lover to be mauled by it and half turned into a turnip.

I'd hate to meet up with a tiger that's hopped up on meth.....

Why, thank you Scout. =)
I'd consider making you a sammich for that.
I said "consider", not that I'd actually do it.  :lol:

Watcha gonna feed it, when it requires tens of lbs of meat per week? 
Tens of lbs of meat per week is nothing. Even tens of lbs of meat per day is less than what would be required if I made sammiches for all the guys who hound me for one.  :laugh:

Never_Retreat, I'm way beyond the "Crazy Cat Lady Starter Kit".
I'm in the pros now.  =D

The back yard? It's a tiger...it can pretty much go where ever it wants to. You see that one did.  :laugh:

No.
*Sigh* Just when I was starting to like you HTG, you had to go and say something like this.
When talk turns to harming my kitties, it's time for me to go.  =(
Bye y'all.  =(  =(  =(

Run Scout.  Run now.  Run far.

First she gets the tiger that she needs to feed 50 lbs of meat weekly.

Then she's going to invite you over and make you a sammich?   :O

Alas, poor Scout, we knew him well.  :laugh:

Oddly enough, the tiger was spotted near a minimum security prison....bet the convicts are trying hard to get paroled now...  :laugh:

Folks, as I've said before and am loathe to say again, let's consider our audience when we post.

Text is an absolutely horrible medium when it comes to conveying levity.

I'm sure HTG was simply posting in jest, but it never hurts to throw a smiley or "Just Kidding" in there for good measure. ;)
