I thought I would never feed the bastard again but I was wrong. With the in-laws are still overseas, the girls went to the Blue Mountains for a week. Poor me I have to look after the damn thing.:mad:
Today I reached new low. I fed the bastard and also changed the litter and it stunk like hell.:mad:
The wife kept reminding me to take care of the cat before they left. I said “Don’t worry, I will make it looks like an accident:D ”. Sadly she didn’t like my hilarious joke. :o

A big steel bin full of water Scott put the cat in and the lid on with a brick on top, then see how long it takes for it to learn to swim underwater:D
then after you find out a cat does not like water like a tiger does you can light a fire under the bin and make a nice cat soup:eek:
Cheers Ian:)

G'day Wongo,
I think you've missed out of my advice from Part1. As the cat rubs it's stinking carcass against your leg a chisel or better still a great big anvil falls off your bench, just where Kitty happened to be. :eek: ;)

Look out for a similar cat to the one annoying you.......then you can have a nice warm pair of slippers. After all the one thing better than one dead cat is two dead cats.:D :D

In a previous life I had a kitten, and living with a lass who went away for the weekend. I thought I'd do the right thing and give it (the cat:rolleyes: ) a bit of a flea bath, so went and bought some stuff from a petfood shop...did the job, then couldn't find the cat an hour or so later, Sure enough it turned up stiff as board under the house:eek: . Turns out the bl**dy guy had sold me flea wash for dogs which is way too powerful for cats and something about licking the fur dry! Anyway, the worst of it was that this lass was convinced I'd done the cat in on purpose, and even years later when we went our own ways she still reckoned I did it to have a go at her somehow!?:confused:
Don't like the bird eating mongrels at all now, and despite pressure from children I haven't succumbed.

I still smile to myself when I think of the joke we told as kids - what sound does a cat make when put through a bandsaw?
Meeeeeeoooooowwww.....

Andy, do you still have that stuff left? :D
Our one next door is about 18 years old. (and it does have fleas :D ) I should not need much to get the job done. :D
[sigh] the girls love him so all I can do is joke about it.:o

I witnessed a meaningful exchange the other day between a friend and her five year old daughter:
"Pleeeeeeeeaaaaase can we get a cat"
"No. You know that you can have a cat once you leave home, but until then NO."
"Why don't you like cats?"
"Why don't YOU like eating vegetables?"
Silence................

rant on.
we have birds visting us all the time, you regular posters know this from the frequent pics I've posted. anyway we have a male king parrot that will land on my shoulder to bludge sunflower seeds - which I am thrilled to bits over.... they're magnificent animals, so gentle and long lived.... (hence I should have a mate for many years....)
anyway the neighbour on one side has 2 russian blue cats which are ok I reckon coz he cages them and they cant get anything except the lizards that are stupid enough to enter the cage... however the neighbour on the other side recently got himself a burmese, now if you know cats you'll know the only way to stop a burmese from hunting is to tie a bell around its neck heavy enough to stop it lifting its head....
I have seen it hunting in my yard - I promptly caught it and threw it in the pool - I havnt been able to lay hands on it since - it pisses orf as soon as it see's me... i've told the neighbour i dont want it in my yard as my yard is a bird sanctuary.
I told the neighbour - your cat is hunting in my yard - keep it out "ill be unhapy if I se it im my yard huntng etc..." he replied to me and I quote:
"Its the circle of life"
"my cat doesnt hunt, its just a kitten" (bear in mind its a BURMESE!!! & I have personally seen it stalking in MY yard!!!)
I now have a cat sized hole in my back yard "for planting some palms" . waiting.... waiting... wating.... :D
rant off.

... well I'm pleased about that, because that means there's no chance of it drinking the milk with paracetamol in it we leave out for the rodents each night......
4 Panadol and you've got yourself that palm tree Zed.

Whenever I go next door I see cat hair everywhere. I mean how much hair can the bastard have?:mad:
My FIL is with me most of the time. He always say “Don’t worry he will die soon.” I say “How soon?”:D
My MIL, my wife and my girls are completely opposite. They just love him.

We have a miniature fox terrier that loves cats, and the bits she doesn't she leaves in the paddock:D
Unfortunately she chases and occassionally catches low flying birds, quick little buggers.

Zed, take a drive up to the Central Coast and I'll lend you my cat trap. My yard is a bird sanctuary too and any cat that comes into my yard is fair game. Straight to the pound without collar, and always after hours so they get left in the stray cat cage. Eleven and counting.;)

I just got sick of seeing dead birds (or parts of) in my backyard, so I chose sides and the birds won. Seed and nectar for the parrots, bread for the Aussie Mynahs, mince for the Magpies and Peewees, a bit of everything for the Doves and Native pigeons. Banishment for the cats.

I used to be an ardent cat hater. After I met SWMBO, who had a cat I guess I kind of came to like them. At Christmas eve several years ago we had a phonecall from the girl looking after him that he'd been run over because she did not bring him in in the afternoon. Its then I realised it was a bit more than 'kind of liked' the poor bugger. We have two cats now, both have 3 or 4 bells on their collars and are curfewed to daylight. Mostly they still hang around the house and sleep. What I'm getting to is its the owners responsibility to limit their cat's impact, its not the cats fault its just doing what comes naturally. The cat definitely deserves to be treated humanely, string up or poison the bloody owner. Capture the cat and take it to the pound where at least it will get a painless death, or if you're in the bush, despatch it with a bullet. As SWMBO says mistreating or torturing animals is where the problems of the world begin. Making sure the cat is inside a hessian bag with a brick before you throw it into the pool is also preferable to an agonising death from paracetamol.

Especially if you throw the mongrel into a large pond at the nearby monastery. Sort of drowning it in holy water.:D :D :D

A relative of mine who lives in a small town run cat traps for years in his backyard. This is a town of a bit over 1500 people. In one year he trapped and dispatched 167 cats. We were at the ranger's place for a christmas barbie and the local copper was there. My relative asked the copper and ranger if there had been any reports of missing cats.....Not one. Cats, foxes, rabbits and politicians...all vermin.

Which just goes to show its not usually curiosity that kills the cat but a car.:cool:

Hi Termi, I tried to green you but I only just gave you a red a few days ago for the swipe at my employment conditions....
You'll have to settle for a bottled red when I come get your trap... (I need to talk to the missus about "offending the neighbours" first)..
I pulled up the neighbour again yeserday and told him his frigging cat was stalking in me yard again and he asked "what is he supposed to do about it?" so I answered "Modern schools of thought say that cats should be enclosed in enclosures, keep it out of my yard" all deadpan with a benign smile..... I'll let you know mate.

Perhaps now is the time to progress to a shanghai and frangible ammo ie JAFFAS.
