Rolling into Rancho farmerart after my European vacation the first thing that I see is a cat running down the lane with a bird in its mouth. Before I even unpack the F-150 I get the shotgun out of the gun safe in the machine shop so I can dish out some vengeance for that lovely murdered songbird. Barely five minutes later a shotgun blast despatches that brutish cat to cat hell.
Damn! That felt good........almost orgasmic.
Pussies are great for orgasms
Cat = women
Art says in his entire life he's never been in love with a woman.
My guess is that Art is working thru some deep issues
Move along...nothing happening here...
@ime,
The cat is not native to North America. As an introduced species disrupting the natural ecosystem of this continent it should be extirpated.
As a conscientious environmentalist I am just doing my small part to rid our continent of this awful pest.
Hey Art - Are you a native to North America?
Yeah Art, all serial killers have some [delusional] rationale :-)
sc,
Can't speak for fa, but North America is my native land. Does that make me a native?
If we take this far enough to the Biblical or Darwin version, we all pretty much started in the same place.
Oh yeah i forgot about the plague of issues being caused by stray cats
ime,
There are some concerns about the amount of "kills" cats have and their effect on the small animal and bird populations.
Hey Art, do bunnies eating your garden get shotgunned too?
Way to Art.
I take every opportunity to shoot feral cats.
I'm not sure I agree with the level of... glee (?) you get from killing cats but I have no issue with killing pests and wild cats can certainly be pests.
Lot more respect for that than for people who go out and "hunt" big game.
Interesting on how both the Mustang and Longhorn were both invasive species in the west yet they didn't destroy the environment the way other invasive species have. They replaced the displaced Bison and plains deer in many areas. One of the most important reasons is that these animals were descended from breeds from Spanish Andalusia, Extremadura, The Azores, Canary Islands, and Cabo Verde. All arid areas, similar to the American West.
@mikey02,
Rabbits do little damage in my yard. Coyotes do an excellent job of keeping those buggers under control. If coyotes could climb trees there would be no need for me to shoot those bastard cats.
@Art-Grey Foxes in the southwest climb trees.
What gauge & shot size did you use. And what was the distance
Mama Slick had a couple of Pitbulls that never let any cats on our land.
@Art-Get a good old Rednose.
My sister and her ex used to keep a Bouvier de Flanders that was hell on squirrels, cats and probably a few Jehovah Witnesses as well.
"Bouvier de Flanders"
WTF is that, like a wine or something?
This is ridiculous. You need help and a life.
You know Art, one male mastiff roaming around your grounds would terrify every animal away, including coyotes.
My old Rednose ate Mastiffs for slow food.
Well shit, usually when I see a Farmerart post I know its going to be something interesting. Wasn't expecting a troll post, guess that European vacation was a good one.
But who am I to talk? I live on a ranch too, and anytime I see a dog I run over to my own machine shop and break out my shotgun and turn that bitch into red mist. In fact, I've been thinking all about this not native to the area thing a lot lately. I've decided why limit it to my private property and dogs? We should all be able to kill, anywhere, whatever we please FOR FUN if it isn't native to our geographic area. Open season on cows, horses, hell, white dudes, black dudes and OH OH don't forget yellow! Oh and cats too. Have fun while you're killing, guys. Don't forget to tell everyone you know how much pleasure it gives you.
@jerikson: A Bouvier (clipped) looks like a Scotty with a pituitary problem - 90 to 100 pounds, bred as sheep tenders, very tolerant and protective of children, and darn good hunters.
I feel ya, art. I'm a dog lover and also have kept macaws and a few African greys over the years. In general cats are pretty low on my short list of pet options.
I have a fighting cock. His name is El Gallo Negro. Undefeated west of the Mississippi.
Art, kids in America grew up taking out cats with sling shots and wrist rockets. You should save your shells.
@Mikey-Haha.
You know how cats bring mice and birds to you as gifts? Our old Rednose would bring my Mom cats, a couple of opossums, and a skunk, once. His face had some scars from claws but he didn't seem to mind.
^^^ pit bulls are awesome
Seems weird to make a post about killing a cat for doing what is it's nature to do. Or seeking vengeance on a cat in general,time for a better hobby.
