A hunting I will go


For those of you who know how much I love cats you may be surprised by this post. I have been having problems with stray cats pooping on my property. They poop on the sidewalk, on my driveway, in the flowerbeds and in the grass in the front and back. I am tired of stepping in kitty crap. There is also one that sprays on stuff in our back yard. Well.... I have decided to fight back.

I purchased a pellet gun and amo and began my training in LA. I started practicing on dog toys my brother had in his back yard and moved up to cans. I am an OK shot although Jeff is much better. Now for those of you who are appalled by this violence on my part I will share that my brother and I both shot at each other to see how much it hurt. It does sting quite a bit but I am pretty positive it will cause no permenant damage to the poor little kitty cats who are soon to feel the bite in their backsides.

Wow. This is the most exciting post I have had. I should talk more often about controversial issues. If it makes the cat lovers feel better I have not had the heart to use the gun yet. I have been trying to scare the cats away by charging them and hissing at them. One of the cats just stood and growled back at me so I don't know how effective this method will be. If I don't see some results in the next few days plan B will definitely go into effect.

Steve: It was nice to meet you. No offense taken although I will say that I would recommend my method (plan B) before blood and kitty guts. It is much easier to clean up. : )

I'd say try it, and see if it works. I know how desperate you must be if you're going to these extremes.

What a bunch of whimps......You're not killing them! You are only training them with negative reinforcement. After all they are animals, they aren't as intelligent as we are and so a little pain (negative reinforcement) is a great idea. Those of you who don't leave your name can't believe in your opinion enough to stand behind it.
Good Hunting
