You get a cat pi$$ing in your wood shed and I'll bet you'll shoot it -- domestic or not -- pet or not!!!Old Ironsights wrote:Shoot/No Shoot
Feral: Human adverse/violent cat that is difficult to capture. Generally born wild or a Stray that ha gone more than a year without Hman Intervention. Shoot.
Domestic Stray: An unattached outdoor cat that likes people and can be captured/rescued/re-homed. No-Shoot.
The cat will let you know which is which.

You bet I would... after I trapped it. If it's in the shed, it's likely trappable. If it's a Pet, then it gets returned to the owner - with a bill for damages. If it shows up again, then it's not really a pet.
The cats I described in my post aren't pets per-sey. They are kept as barn cats and never let into the house. The only human contact they have is the food that the neighbor puts out for them on occasion. Mostly, the neighbor leaves them to find their own food.
Yep, a tresspassing cat is still a tresspasser. Some folks dont get that, but you can be sure if my dog was taking stuff in their yard they would take a different view. And domestic cats do just as much damage to the wildlife as ferals, and a domestic can and will go feral very quickly. Often once let outdoors there is very little if any difference. Letting your cat roam into others yards and stuff in their gardens and kill wildlife is rude and irresponsible, and some of us are fortunate to live in areas with some sanity where we are given the freedom to deal with it.Modoc ED wrote:You get a cat pi$$ing in your wood shed and I'll bet you'll shoot it -- domestic or not -- pet or not!!!Old Ironsights wrote:Shoot/No Shoot

Usually the way the last line is written in this particular passage "A word to the wise--." with the punctuation used, it refers to the information stated above the line -- kind of like saying, pay attention to what I have said. In other words, the author of the passage could have started that part of his story out with, "Here is a word to the wise." but in this case by using the wording and punctuation he did as the last line, he accomplished the same thing.Sixgun wrote:Jayhawker,Jayhawker wrote:Sixgun,
That page ends with "a word to the wise". What's the caution on the next page?
Thats the last sentence in the chapter. It end right there. Yea, a little strange.--------Sixgun
That's essentially how Tom moved in. e followed me around the yard literally nipping at my heels like a schnauser until I came out through my basement window to put catfood in the cat trap under our deck.tube_ee wrote:One of the best cats I've ever owned was Oliver (as in Twist), a young stray that I fed one evening, and who decided that living with us was a better deal than sleeping under cars in the parking lot. He was a wonderful pet. Affectionate to a fault, litter-box trained in one day ...
I dunno about holding point, but Tom Heels, Retrieves and catches (small) frisbees in the air like a Retriever. I'm thinking about putting him on lead and taking him squirrel hunting...And yet, if you've ever watched your favorite Felus Domesticus stalk a bird in the back yard...
You'll quickly realize how incredibly lethal they are. Not to mention being so humbled as a hunter that you might never go afield again. It's astonishing.
Of course, being the sick-o that I am, my first thought was, "Man, if I could just get him to hold point..."
Did I mention that he guards the door and attacks unknown people too?The common domestic housecat is a near-perfect killing machine. That's part of why I like 'em so much...
I think so... especially since he picked me & not the wife...who brought home the other two couch potatoesModoc ED wrote:He's a cool cat.

Siamese Cat
a pair of young fleshy game cats, jointed
onions
peanut butter
chilli sauce
fresh ginger
fresh garlic
peanut oil
salt and pepper
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Season the cat pieces well with salt and pepper.
Pre-heat your pan on high heat and add enough peanut oil to cover the bottom to a depth of about 5mm.
Add the cat pieces and two to three roughly chopped onions. Cook until the meat is well browned, tender and any juice produced has just evaporated away.
Turn off the heat, stir the meat one last time and leave the meat in the pan.
In a small bowl, place a cup of crunchy peanut butter add a good dash of Thai chilli sauce, a handful of chopped fresh Thai chillies or dried chilli flakes. Grate in at least a tablespoon of fresh ginger and add several finely chopped garlic cloves. Blend the ingredients together.
Add the peanut butter mixture to the still hot chicken(CAT) and stir to spread the flavor thoroughly. Cook for about ten minutes on low heat.
Serve with steamed rice, stir-fried vegetables and ice cold Singha beer.

I know just what you mean. I had a dog named "Scruffy" that passed away a year and a half ago. I rescued him from the streets of San Diego, CA when he was six months old. Took him to the vet had him checked out, brought him home and he was with us for 15-years. We called him our dog BUT make no mistake -- he was MY dog. The wife loved him too and he loved her but when push came to shove, he was my dog.Old Ironsights wrote:I think so... especially since he picked me & not the wife...who brought home the other two couch potatoesModoc ED wrote:He's a cool cat.
Yes, they are. Dunno about war use but they were originally used as gamekeeper's dogs to guard against poaching game on the estates of the nobility in early England. Poaching was a capital crime and the poachers didn't get executed any more dead if they killed the gamekeeper also when caught. The Mastiffs would just find a poacher and corner and hold him - making the Mastiffs too gentle to suit the gamekeepers. The Mastiff was cross bred to the then large English Bulldog - producing Bullmastiffs which were faster and more ferocious then - now have temperaments much like Mastiffs.sore shoulder wrote:Those are English Mastiffs right? As I recall the Brits used those during WWI to clear trenches.
