Someone shooting cats in Springs!


kanelli Wow, I can't believe that someone or some people have been shooting cats with air rifles in the Springs! This is so sad - &title=Sniper%20on%20the%20prowl My cats used to get out from time to time (when we weren't walking them on their harnesses) and we lived one Springs over from where this happened. I would have been devastated to find my cats dead! What kind of person does this?
RobbyG A Dutch family losing two precious members. So sad. nachovx
One who doesn't like cats, I suppose :evil: Dr Strangeglove Without resorting to worthless stereotypes, would it be a fair suggestion to say that it is virtually impossible to own a gun here unless you're a local? Chocoholic Nope, you can pretty much go and buy an air pistol with no issues. 'Proper' guns - no. dresden FCUKING BASTARDS. RobbyG
They will work you tomorrow Dresden.
Big kitties not excluded. :wink: Speedhump High powered air rifles freely available. I'm going to be shot down here, butI think cat owners are morons. A cat is not a pet, it just comes to you for food and warmth, it would never protect you if you were attacked like your faithful dog would. In fact if your neighbour makes a hard effort to treat a cat better than it's so called 'owner' the cat would just up stakes and move next door, it happens! Cats sh*t and p*ss all over the neighbourhood (especially the tom-cat pee is vile stinky stuff), and my garden is usually full of feathers and bird bodies where they have killed and mangled some poor bird. They're disgusting. If I thought I could one-shot them each time I'd get a gun and do it myself, but I don't want them bleeding all over my garden. Get a dog or something else you can keep strictly on your own property. Now I'll put my tin hat on and wait. :D (kanelli and the other tiny minority of cat owners who walk their cats on leashes are excluded from this rant) portland now bora and dresden are in danger... LOL Speedhump :confused5: I generally love animals, all of them, but this cat-keeping thing is madness.

Well, you are ignoring the fact that quite a few cats in most neighbourhoods are strays because too many cats are just abandoned and not fixed, so they just make more and more babies. Other people have adopted previous street cats and have a hard time keeping them indoors and not all cats like harnesses. My cats escaped from time to time, the one went missing for 2 weeks! I would hate to think of someone abusing or killing him because they don't like cats. I don't like people who walk dogs around the lakes and don't pick up the poop, or rude people who litter in the back alleys of the Springs, idiots who park all over the place and drive 70 kms per hr in the residential streets, but you don't see me getting an air rifle out - as tempting as that may be. I don't remember smelling much cat pee, but do remember looking for my cats only to find human feces and urine smells behind the electrical sheds because the gardeners etc. have no bathroom facilities so they just duck behind the sheds to do their business. There is lots of nasty stuff in the Springs besides roaming cats! Speedhump hold on hold on...I'm coming (uh, you know what I mean). I'll follow the sounds of legs crossing and re-crossing urgently!!

Damn, walked passed running water. Have to start over. Speedhump
I'm sure you're right on a lot of counts, and it's usually un-neutered male cats that make the worst smells. Having one spray p*ss on your car fabric roof is very unpleasant and expensive to get the stains out.
No-one can say which cats are wild and which are only half-wild (in other words 'pets') but the problem is there. Dogs aren't allowed to roam free so if there's a problem then at least you have someone you can pin it on (or throw it at, if we're talking about the unscooped poop :)). Misery Called Life
(my though process when I saw Bora's reply)
:scratch: What is golden shower?
:roll: Noo! it couldn't be
:colors: (I'm blushing) I know what it is
:pottytrain5: Someone needs to be potty trained Speedhump
That was a quick fill, do you have TB? (tiny bladder...) :D Bora Bora
No potty training needed for that my dear, just good aim!! Speedhump and rubber sheets is a nice idea.... Bora Bora
I think it was the 5 cups of java that did me in. Speedhump you know melon juice tastes much sweeter at the other end, do I need to teach you everything darling...? Bora Bora
Back to the rubber are we? SNAP!!! dresden
Whoa buddy, cat's are very good pets. They just have to be litter trained and voila they take care of themselves.
Dont get me wrong, I love dogs as well, but cats are more like household furnishing when compared to dogs. Regardless, they are both pets and it all depends in what you are looking for in pets. I would love to have a little kitten and a nice big dog in Dubai, but its just not in the cards.
Now retract your original statement, or I'm going to have to overload your brain with catpics. :)

Don't think there is much left to learn - on both sides. Speedhump
oh heck, now you've done it, where's that mobile number again....
:oops: Speedhump
yeah, we jaded much... ? 8) Bora Bora
Nah. Speedhump
Noooooo :D
LOLcats I can cope with, cute pics of kitties on toffee box lids wif wibbons an' bows all luffly make me wanna blow chunks.... :arrow: Misery Called Life Cats are the most useless unpredictable furballs. If not for their aggression, they have about as much emotion as a fish in a tank As a rule don't try an pat a cat whose size is two times ur palms. One has no idea how they'd react. Speedhump
bravo!!!! braaaavo!!!!! :D :D Bora Bora
I see a couple of door knockers that could use a good scratching!!! Misery Called Life
I rest my case! :lol: Speedhump
True MCL, they can turn on you just like that ;) That's why you need the 10,000 volt stun gun, just to teach them a lesson when needed. dresden I guess I've grown up around cats, so I like them.
I mean come on! how can you not think this is cute?
Speedhump
&feature=related Speedhump
Well, I could probably eat a whole one when they're small like that :evil: RobbyG Who's got a decent hammer? Like this for instance...
dresden WhiteJade
I think it cute, as a female.
I assume the only reason why you do is that you are the big cat :lol: Speedhump
This is more like it.... dresden
Ok, now that we know how you feel about your parents, tell us how you feel about cats... WhiteJade
With those sharp claws and you think it's cute?
Terrible :lol: Misery Called Life
Dude u reading way too much between the lines!
Lemme assure u ma folks ain't no furballs! :) RobbyG
Look what she did already!!
I'll pass
:lol: Speedhump
err, that was my point.... dresden
Uhhhhh..... never mind... dresden




Bora Bora Me thinks it's time to get the big cats out. kanelli I love the cat pics :) Speedhump
It's like walking through a mall and getting a smell of Cinnabon, just makes my stomach heave.....
Turkish: 'You take sugar?'
Bricktop: 'No thank you Turkish, I'm sweet enough.'
