(...) moron would let their cat out to die in the wild. Cats are not wild animals and disrupt the natural order of things outside in the wild. Some other things that 'disrupt the natural order of things': cars, houses, roads, electricity. Let's all go and live in a ditch. Cats are not indoor animals, they have not been bred as such. To allow a cat adequately safe outdoor access is the ideal. A few weeks ago while on my motorcycle, I nailed someone's cat. It was not intentional, the damn moron ran out in front of me and I had two choices. Nail the cat or dump the bike... The bike is not going down because some moron let their cat out to be killed... Your third option was to be a competent enough rider to be able to avoid hazards. On the other hand, maybe you ride an absurd cruiser-behomoth that requires advance written warnings in order to change direction? People who love their cats don't let them out to be killed by coyotes, James Marz and traffic... Keep the kitty in the house where it belongs... My little gray kitty will live a long and healthy life without ever going outside... Long and healthy, but in an impoverished environment - unless you are taking great pains to improve same. S. |

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. depends, are you bigger than the animal? Ever been attacked by a pittbul, be bigger than pitbull, forced pitbull to understand canine throats dont like chokeholds? |

I'm sure you'd have no problem's taking on two angry cougers. Where were you when that guy needed you? here on planet earth, most human's wouldn't take any changes around cougers. |
