Don't shoot at cats..........................

[Lochaber]

As I said, there may be many situations under which killing cats and other critters is they only way. I just dont think it should be the first way. I did get a bit heated for which I apologize if I offended anyone. It happens that I have two cats which were very abused before they come into my home and I have some strong reactions to people hurting animals for no reason. You are right that you should choose to spend your money as you wish. As stated earlier, I am not of those people that believe in forcing other to do what I think is best, but I will give my advice as long as you are willing to listen.

As for the comment about spelling, please keep in mind that not everyone is a native english speaker. I am not, and I know that my spelling is not great, and I try my best. In all honesty I am still way ahead of many who dont have my excuse and I keep on trying. Personaly I am continiously baffled about the logic of using double letters but it is my adopted country and language so I truge on until I'll figure it out.

Cats and spell checkers...

Cats: Nope, don't shoot cats. Never even consider such. Like the creatures, and consider not shooting as part of respect for fellow preditors. Live with three (Bastubus, Kahless and Uther Pendragon). Get very Very VERRY iRaTe when other talk of shooting cats....

Spell Checkers: Yes, I use QuickSpell, a hold over from my OS/2 days, before I surrendered to The Darkside and went with Microsoft. See http://www.fornada.com/html/home.html. works in editors, WP apps and browsers. Cool utility, like most from OS/2.

Cool cat thread.

Tallied two myself. One snuck under my car while I was stopped at a red light. Light turned green, I started to move, back wheel went bump. Checked mirror, cat was trying to drag itself to the curb with only its two front paws.

Second cat was a pretty, fluffy, expensive-looking critter. Darted out between parked cars. Cars all around, so I couldn't brake or swerve. Barely grazed it, but it died instantly. I looked and asked around to see if anyone owned it. No reply, so I moved on. Day before Christmas.

Hate cats, personally, but I felt like crap after each one. I'd never shoot one, no matter how much of a nuisance it was. Probably against the law anyways.

Hey Skunk: My aunt called one morning (6am or so) and asked for my dad. When he answered, she asked him, "Hey, I caught a cat. What's the best way to kill and prepare it?" I hung up and pretended it was a nightmare.
