Funny you should mention a dog in the yard. I remember years ago when we had 2 dogs, a raccoon got caught in a tree in our backyard. It stuck around too close to dawn and the dogs found it. It hung around there much of the day and finally tried to make a break for it. The dogs had been hanging out at the corner of the house being their typical predator selves. They immediately got between the raccoon and the trees. One dog circled it a few times then pounced in and snapped it's neck. I could only assume it wasn't the first time that dog had done that. Cheesy

The dogs looked pretty happy with themselves and were prancing around when I walked outside to go bury the thing.

On games, I remember a skeet shooting game that circulated about 10 years ago. It had blood and screaming cats and all. It was small enough to be emailed. I haven't seen it in quite a while.

I agree, but that's one per cat. With garden hose and dumb cat who keeps climbing trees, the gift keeps on giving. grin

If the cat is dumb enough to climb again, well, you get to blast it with the hose again.

We have a 17 y/o cat that has begun to howl about 20 minutes before we get up in the mornings. I've found new pleasure jumping out of bed to run out and squirt her with a cheap household squirt bottle. She hasn't figured it out completely yet, but she knows when I come to the door after her howling, its not to fill her food bowl anymore.

BTW, the cat was aptly named DC for "damned cat" all those years ago, and of late, she's making a run to insure the name was appropriately chosen for her.

Any knuckle dragging suburban driving neanderthal could shoot the cat. The challenge is to get it down alive.

Sometimes I wonder if you have a sense of humor.

I'm deciding whether that knuckle dragging Suburban driving neanderthal reference pointed to another forum member who posted a tongue-in-cheek .38 Special HBWC reply, even though I neither own nor drive a U-Boat (my stepson does). Stay tuned, I'm checking the forum rules here at Armed Polite Society for what it says about such thinly-veiled things...

Quite. One should not debase Homo neanderthalensis in such a fashion.

Any Prius driving, pink-lady drinking liberal metro-sexual could also shoot a cat out of a tree.

Well, they could if they weren't so terrified of firearms that they wet their Jordache jockeys anytime someone mentions the dreaded G word...

The trick is, ya got to just graze it enough to knock it out of the tree without the shot actually killing it. Ya know, maybe take out a leg or something.

I know. WTF good is a live cat?

The trick is to use a large enough caliber so that the wake turbulence from a near miss knocks the cat out of the tree.

Of course then you have to worry about passing airliners and little boys fishing ...

Nah, they make money. It's the little kids in China that make jockeys.

Yeah, well that's the 'free market' at work, benefiting everybody dontcha know. And if those little kids don't like it, they can go to work elsewhere.

Yeah, right rolleyes

Only to the egocentric libertarian hallelujah chorus. To everyone else, it's a slave market.

Get the cat outta the tree.

Put it in a box, inside a bag from something like Neiman Marcus.

Have airholes in the bag.

Along with catnip and caffeine. And ex-lax.

Leave the bag on public transportation by accident.

Or at a former workplace that you hated.

Sounds reasonable to me.

Everyone join hands.

We'll do some swaying and then sing Kumbayah.

I don't think you would countenance the same kind of sweatshop/child/slave labor working conditions in this country as exist in China. Yet it's ok there? Whyizzat? Double standard?
