Well, I couldn't stay out of this! I don't care for cats in general
so I probably wouldn't like the way they taste either! Why, do you
ask? Well, we had a friend that had an indoor cat and when my
husband and I stayed overnight it would bite our toes through the
blankets. Guess who soared across the room?!! It was in a basement
apartment and it would sit in the window above the side of the toilet
and leap down on you when you least expected it. Talk about adding
misery to ring of fire!
It would also climb all over the counters and jump in the fridge when
you opened it.....Yiiickk! BUT, just because I don't like them
doesn't mean that I would go out of my way to hurt one. I wouldn't
take dog jokes seriously even tho' I had dog that I love disappear
and could have been killed by someone.
Talk about some big ass cats, our local DEC here in Upstate NY have
started stocking panthers and bobcats, and gray wolves to control the
deer population. Now I will shoot any of them on site!!! Neighbor
got one of the wolves. Killed several calves down the road. Not
going to let them get either of my kids!
Additionally, has anyone seen those cats in a burlap sack that you
turn on and it shakes and screeches? It also has a woman asking her
husband if he has seen the cat as you hear a muffled, drowning/toilet
flushing and a few other choice things.
ON TOPIC: Oh, and I got most of my garden planted. Has anyone else
found it hard to get Portuguese pepper plants? My father in law
likes them and he has to get seed or mailorder plants. Is it just NY
thing?
