Your inability to see the cookable of your feline parasites shows your intellectual limitations.Or I'm kidding. Who cares what you think. What's a "cookable"?

See http://www.boston.com/news/daily/05/odds_cat.htm And about 18 months ago there was a case in Washington state of a pair of sub-adult cougars travelling together who were after a man's dog while the man and dog were at his lake property. One of those cougars had a dead housecat in its mouth. The guy went back to his truck, pulled out a pistol, and shot both cougars dead. According to the interview of some law enforcement official the guy was within his rights. Personally, I think the guy could've driven off the two cougars. Killing them shouldn't have been necessary. What an AH :-( Have you ever tried to drive off a pair of cougers? Do you think you could aim a gun to disable at an animal lunging for your throat at 50mph? Twice? Easier said than done. As a two pound cat is obviously superior in strength to a dog many times it's size so a Cougar will be to you puny human that they could kill in seconds if you didn't have a weapon. The Native Americans may have lived with these animals for fifteen thousand years... but as the iceman in Austria showed... they didn't leave the house without a bow and arrows, a large knife and a stone club - and a shorter life expectancy I suspect. It's only because of guns and a pack of hunting dogs that cougars at one time feared us. Without a gun and a pack of dogs at our command we are nothing compared to them. It is interesting the cougar had a dead housecat in it's mouth. Is that considered cannablism? Is a Mountain Lion eating a house cat cannablism since they are both feline animals? It sure is kinda creepy all the same. I think seeing a large cat eat a smaller cat would turn my stomach. Yech! I do think the guy could have fired a few shots in front of them to see if the noise would do it first. I think if they were just passing though it was sad their were killed. However, I think it wouldn't be safe for the man to have two Cougars hunting as a team right outside his front door if they were stalking his dog right into the front door of the cabin. There are limits. What about the man's love for his dog and the dog itself? What about the housecat? I feel sad for the house cat. I agree it is sad about the Cougars. But I agree it would be hard to drive two cougars away with what? A stick? They might just go ahead and kill the man for kicks. |

Doesn't sound like that is what happened. I'd like to read the whole article, if it is even true, which I doubt. -L. |

Come on, Tim. You can't allow your cat to dictate where you live. And
moreover, coyotes are moving into areas that they did not previously inhabit, including inner suburbs of Washington DC for example. I will be moving to the country in Western New York. I have no choice. I fear that my Jaws will be taken by a coyote. I can try to keep him inside, but he like to be out at night. Maybe the completely new environment will make him prefer to stay indoors. And my mother's cat is living up there outside full time right now. Since my mother died, no one has been able to get close to him. I'll do what I can to protect the cats, but they will have to be clever enough to avoid coyotes. You've just got to keep Jaws indoors at night and early morning hours if you can't manage to keep him in 24/7. That's prime hunting hours for the coyote; and they're most active in the early spring when they're mating. We have coyotes but so far have never seen one in the daytime. You may be right about the environment change making it easier to keep Jaws in without protest. That's the way it was with mine when we moved. Good luck. Sherry |
