NFT: Is kitty a killer ?

Manny in CA : 8/29/2014 8:34 pm
In the six years that one of our neighbors has been living in this part of town, we see a significant reduction in the bird population (almost zero now) in our neighborhood. I never early understood why ….

Till I started to think about it - Their cat !

They are very sneaky about this mass murderer. They don't let him out of the house until about 10PM or later, and he never outside after 6AM.

Cats are great pets if you've never heard of dogs.
That would explain why cats are such finnicky eaters.

What self-respecting bird is up at...

Cats are phenomenal predators. I thought that was well known?
Rabbits.

Rabbits are the pet of the future.




My house rabbit has completely taken over. She bullies the cats.

A relatively recent study named house cats the world's most efficient predator. Think about that next time you're staggering home from the bar, turn around, and see 10 alley cats staring at you!
I doubt one cat

could decimate the bird population of the entire neighborhood.

My neighbor's cat left a baby rabbit's leg on my front walkway this morning.

Or maybe a warning....
About 20 years, a Lebanese friend of mind told me the story ...

Of what it was like there with so many people with guns, shooting anything that moved, especially birds. The slaughter continues to this day.

So, it's humans that birds must fear there, and kitty cats here.

My only regret is that most cats don't want to tangle with those hateful ravens. It seems (especially here in California) that they're the only species that's going to be left, eventually.

The last time I made it, I did Rabbit Provencal. For entertainment while I was working, I watched Bugs Bunny cartoons on my laptop.

Supoib!

Our cat dragged home a bear. They were both drunk and made quite a scene until I hosed 'em down and ran off the bear.

That fucking cat is grounded, grounded let me tell you!
