Dear Diary

[LineLefty]

SilentC, it's great to know that I am the entire explanation for "whats wrong with society? Why do we always end up on differeng side of arguments?

I'm not actually a cat lover. Actually, I hate the wretched things. Why people have these predators in their backyards is beyond me. They just dont deserve to be drowned, run over etc etc. For every 100ppl that say these things, theres an army officer who does them

We've had a few venture into our backyard, not noticing the sleeping greyhound. Luckily she chases, and then doesnt know what to do next.

Not the 'entire explanation'

Why do we always end up on differeng side of arguments?

Someone's gotta be there, otherwise there'd be no arguments

Actually it's because I'm an agumentative mongrel, just ask my wife

Try a German Shorthaired Pointer, fast and does not give a if it is bleeding while holding a dead cat in its jaws. We used to have one and the neighbours did not bother to feed or look after their cats, 30 between both sides. Our dog did what he could for mother nature, he also figured he had won if he managed to kill the cat.

I say domestic cats are ok - so long as the bastards are caged. cats beyond thier owners abode should be fair game (as should dogs - sorry).

I've both seen ferals (cats and dogs) in the flesh and the results of thier handiwork - If I could kill 'em all I would without any regrets. I've seen both "grannys tiddles the wondercat" and "The neighbours dog who loves everyone" go ape$hit and cause some serious damage - both of who were destroyed by thier owners!

Is it the blue mountains council that sez a cat more than 200m from its owners premises is to be destroyed ? I think I like that rule although it should be changed to be 1 metre...

Dont get me wrong - I like a little bit of pussy meself...

1. Backyard + Next doors cat = dead birds.
2. Time + Cat + dead birds = no birds.
3. Backyard + Cat Trap + KFC = Trapped Cat.
4. Trapped Cat + Local pound = No cat.
5. Backyard - Cat = Birds.

If they'd only eat Indian Mynahs I'd leave them in peace, but they are smarter than a cat.

I like cats as an animal, but I dont like them killing our birds and native fauna, and if you've ever seen a true feral cat you will know what I mean. (Monstrous Big Bastards).
Kind regards

I've always liked GSP's but I'd never get one. Walking a dog for 3hrs a day to keep it sane just isnt my idea of fun

Our greyhound chases next doors cat, she just doesn't know that she's supposed to grab it and kill it. I guess that comes from the fact that she never caught the electorabbit.

OY!!! this starrted as a joke, it is still the joke forum..... ENOUGH BLOODY ARGUING AND MORE LAUGHING :mad: .........please

[bitingmidge]

For three days, count them....THREE.. I have tried my very best to be objective, to say nothing......it's no use!!

Which is exactly how one would have to sum up cats.

For those who are interested in conservation, perhaps a visit to
Cooking with John.

Cheers,
:eek: :eek: :eek:

I dunno, have you ever seen the look on a cats face as it is being chased realising for once it really has a chase on its hands with a dog who is REALLY after it.

Where's Cliff when you want him

It's a common misconception, but Greyhounds actually require about 10minutes of exercise per day. Take them to the park, they chase a ball/stick/poodle/magpie for 10 minutes then they've had it. They'll then lie around and snooze for the next 23hrs 50 minutes. Not like kelpies, GSP's, border collies etc. You need to tie those things to the bloody clothesline to tire them out.

Perfect pet dogs really no barking, no stink, just an unalterable desire to sneak into the shed and steal from bits from the scrap bin and bury 'em, but thats crossing forum interests for me

It's a common misconception, but Greyhounds....

No offence Lefty, but since more than one conservation-minded Greyhound trainer has been known to utilise cats in their.. ahem...training regime, it brought to mind the Greyhound Trainer(GT) who was caught in Brisbane's CBC a few years ago at 2.00 am near Albert Park, with 30 or so Possum's in hessian bags in his Corolla wagon.

He was tried and as far as I know found guilty of planning to do unspeakable things to the possums in the course of his training pursuits, but should have been sent home free because of his defence.

He claimed that he had caught all the possums at his place, and was afraid that the dogs might do them some harm (in their 10 active minutes) so had brought them into the city to release them in a place where they could live free from canine predators!

Bless his heart!

I find that they taste a little like Koala, however, you need to marinate the koala just a little bit longer, as they have a gamey taste.

I should have read the 2nd page of this post before replying.

My last post relates to the recipes for cats.

PAH1 I have 2 weimaraners, similar to GSP's and I find them a very good deterent to cats, you can turn darkness to daylight at 6.00 am in the middle of winter when they find one and corner it. The noise they all make automatically turns on everyones lights for about 2 blocks. It can be very difficult to sneak of trying to drag 2 dogs with you when this happens.

You're right bm, some greyhounds are "blooded" which can make them dangerous. But trust me, you wouldnt see one of these as a pet in someones home. They end up dead, dumped with their ID tatooed ears cut off. :mad:

It's a horrible industry, only a few dogs get adopted, the rest get snuffed, not to mention the puppies that never make the grade..............

Aside from these few cases though you'll find that greyhounds are about as far from aggressive or viscious as you could possible get.

As for possums, twas the strangest thing to be driving aroudn new zealand and seeing roadkill possums EVERYWHERE. I'm used to having foreign pests in Australia, not australia pests in other countries. :confused:
