I Like Cats
This sounds like a suitable idea for dealing with the cat(s?) that is getting into a habit of going along my side fence then jumping onto the car (honda) and scraping/sliding down the windscreen. Not only does it put lovely scratch marks on the windscreen, it makes a damned big mess all over the rest of the thing. Only does it at night, and during the day they seem to all go underneath the car.Quote:

Oh, and I don't like them.
I like cat as much as I like cane toads. Send them back where they came from and things will be fine.
They probably do taste like chicken... mmmm.... kitten pie (Yahoo Serious' Young Einstein mental asylum scene comes to mind) :D
We always had cats when I lived at home. It was fun when I was a kid but then I found out what pest they realy are in Oz... and one of the cast dies of cat aids - horrible stuff.
Cats are not useless - they are good for science experiments. When my missus was doing her honours at Sydney Uni a professor in a lab next to hers was researching something to do with optic nerves. For this he needed experiment subjects that would be alive but completly out of it. Cats. Spread out on a table and doped. Wires sticking out of their heads and plugged into machines. Frankenstein type of thing...
... and before anyone jumps up an calls the RSPCA, Syd Uni has a very strict ethics policy and all this was approved by the ethics board.
note to thethink:
Put the cats in the shed with the rats, problem solved; and they'll even bring you little presents, like tails and feet and stuff. They like to show their appreciation.
And btw(for all); we don't argue with RobHay! LOL....

We've now got 4 - all moggies: white one who's deaf as a post! Talk about no fear! Suppose if you can't hear you got no fear!
Hang on... I'm not sure where you stand on the issue. So how is it you feel about cats again? :D :DQuote:

This story has only a little to do with cats, but, for the record I like cats.
This is the stroy of creation as told in the Standard Aussie Bloke Bible.
On the first day, God created the day for going to football and barbecues, and the night for going prawning, sleeping, and barbecues.
On the second day, He created water for surfing, swimming, and barbecues on the beach.
On the third day, he created the earth to bring forth plants to provide malt and yeast for beer and wood for barbecues.
On the fourth day he created animals and crustaceans to provide stealk, chops, sausages, and prawns for the barbecue.
On the fifth day he created the Aussie bloke to go surfing, swimming, drink the beer, and eat the steak, sausages, chops and prawns from the barbecue.
On the sixth day He saw the Aussie bloke was lonely so he created mates, to go to the footy and beach with him, and to stand around the barbecue, lying and skiting, scratching their nuts, drinking the beer, and eating the steak, chops, sausages and prawns from the barbecue.
On the seventh day He created sheilas to clean the house, wash the clothes, cook meals, have children, and clean the barbecue.
On the eighth day He created cats, so the Aussie Bloke could get a little pussy.
the shed? no way... that's possum territory!Quote:

l think they should pass a law saying cat owners have to install one of those cat run things in their homes in order to keep a cat as a pet.
cats are natural born killers and hunters
when young we used to have avairy next door neighbours cats would kill the budgies and quail through the chicken wire and leave bodies on floor inside the avairy as well as fish out the goldfish from our pond.
next door neighbour couldnt care less about the predatory killing spree of their cats but decided to complain to police when one their cats disappeared after an underwater swimming contest in our pool and the other one had a terminal metal bolt growth through its chest fired from a cross bow.
cats were duly fairly tried and sentenced in my opinion but next door neighbour thought their had been a miscarriage of justice
