Long story for why I brought this lil guy camping.....but cats don't travel well, he got freaked out, got his way through the screen, and managed to jump out the window of a moving camper.
I plastered the small town next to where he got out with flyers offering a reward. He was in the wild for six months when I got a phone call at 2am in the morning, middle of January, -20 out, from a chick who had caught my cat. She and I each drove an hour one way to meet up.....and she refused to take any money, not even for gas, after she'd spent four nights waiting in her car trying to catch my cat.....fukcer was too smart for his own good and kept going in a kind animal trap, stepping over where he needed to hit to trip the gates shut, and kept eating the food without getting caught. She finally caught him by putting a cab of soft food under a weighted plastic tub propped up by a stick with a string tied to it, with the other end to her finger, inside her car parked in her driveway, where she sat and waited with a brick on the break pedal to illuminate behind her with red light.....he was too smart to come in with lights on. Kept getting beat up by a neighbor's cat on the way in. He was in rough shape when I got him, but he's done great in the two years since....and is now eight years old.
He had a collar on when he escaped but it was gone when he was caught six months later. Is chipped....but that doesn't do much to deter some fukc from shooting him.
I've seen dogs chasing deer on multiple occasions when I had a rifle in the truck with me. I legally could've waxed those dogs. You know why I didn't?
Because the thought of shooting someone's pet would weigh pretty heavily on me.....and why the fukc would I really....truly....care about a dog chasing a deer or two? They're just deer. Who gives a fukc? Why would that upset me enough to shoot what is most likely....or at the very least a decent chance....of being someone's pet?
MN is a fairly populated state. There aren't many spots where you could shoot a cat or dog that's not within a quarter mile as the crow flies from a house.
You're not shooting strays.....you're shooting people's pets.
Over what.....your fake concern over some [supposed] fukcing tweety birds getting killed?
Who gives a shit?
Does your faux concern over tweety birds begin to even compare to people's real concerns over their actual pets?
Before you pull the trigger the next time on that cat, or dog, think of some little kid at the nearest house crying themselves to sleep when their pet doesn't come home that evening and never will.
If your concern for tweety birds is that great to where you can stomach some little kid....or adult....being really torn up over the loss of animal that meant a great deal to them.....
....go ahead then, pull the trigger.
But I for one think you're a sadistic lying fukc since no one in their right mind actually cares about friggin' tweety birds that God Damn much.
There....I've said my piece on the subject....and will let it go from here on out.
Oh yeah, one last thing.....my cat that was lost sits by the door, and then stands up and taps the door knob with his paw when he wants out. He follows me around when I'm outside, comes fishing with me in the boat, and loves to "buzz the tower," come bum rushing at me out of nowhere when I got outside and he's already out....just as excited as hell I'm outside with him....then follows me around....hangs out with me doing whatever it is I'm doing. I like him as much as any dog I've ever had. Whatever you've felt about a dog or other pet....I feel the same about him. I'm pretty damn happy no one shot him when he was on the loose.
Just because it isn't your pet....doesn't mean it isn't someone else's pet.
