I find most things done for religion odd.

Given that religion is supposed to be a positive thing for humans,
what really gets me is violence done in the name of God. And
lest we think that Muslim extremists invented this, we can
remember what we learned in school about the Christian
Crusades of medieval times.

Of all the religions, only the ancient Egyptians had the right idea- they
worshipped the CAT! (and the cats never forgot it).

Speaking of someone who worships the cat, does the practice
of ear tipping bother you or am I just being overly sensitive?

What would you suggest as an alternative?

In a perfect world it wouldn't be necessary and I would hope that no cat
would end up with a tipped ear. However, the cats ears are being tipped
while people are attempting to control a problem and as a result provide a
better life for the cat in the long run so I have no problem with it.

That's true

I also believe if we can imagine something it can be done

for what other reason would we imagine it if it was not possible

Why does the fact that it bothers me necessarily imply that I have
an alternative?

And you are entitled to your opinion. It still really bothers me.
