My family has always had a designated "cat gun" with which to dispatch cats.
It'd get used when we had a nuisence cat, like the stray that wouldn't come in
and live inside but liked to poop on my Dad's car or when a cat is sick and
dying and needs putting out of its misery. Very humane thing the cat gun. I
used it once on a dog that got hit by a car in front of our house, thing was in
such terrible shape I don't know what was keeping it alive but I couldn't bear
to see it like that.
I was amazed when I went to college and somehow got talking about the cat gun
and a girl I went to school with was screaming at me and calling me all sorts
of terrible things for shooting cats, she thought they should be "put to
sleep". I told her thats what I was doing. Some people's kids...

Not your fault - I started this one with my "CO2 powered pellet gun"
comment, which I still think is funny. It's just a shame that "some"
reacted
so strongly to a joke.
At least I didn't start this one with a "poison cat food" comment....
On a more serious cat note - they are so prevalent around here that the
city
puts out baited traps all the time and I don't see anyone lining up at
the
animal shelter to adopt cats. Wonder what happens to THOSE cats??????
Maybe
the member who reacted so strongly would like a few hundred shipped to
his
or her house?
Thanks,
Tom Hargrave

check fluids in trans and motor - take note of any abnormal smells or
discoloration.
check antifreeze level
check brake fluid
stop at wally world and pickup up some oil, trans fluid and antifreeze to
have on hand during your trip back as well as windshield washer fluid if
adverse weather patterns will be interacting with your travel route.
