March 10, 2007: The cat wants in

Aliantha · 03-11-2007, 07:15 PM

If I saw a cat like that hanging around my back door there's no way I'd be bothering to ring the response team. I'd just shoot it. Same as I'd hit a snake over the head with a shovel.

I guess I'd have to have a gun first, but if I lived where there'd be a chance of animals like that hanging around, I'd have one.

In the mean time, I DO have my trusty shovel under the house.

Those kitty cats are sposed to be making a comeback around here. I'm not so thrilled with the prospect.

Today I heard about a new accidental introduction here, Russian boars... mmm... pass the cabbage.

How do you accidentally introduce a Russian boar anywhere? Was someone trying to cash in on the potbellied pig market and got the wrong strain of swine?

A guy was setting up a hunting preserve but you know how pigs are on fences. The story goes that he managed to catch all but ten... Pigs can breed what 2 or 3 times a year? My neighbor shot three, although one was carrying 6 little ones. This sounds like a rural legend doesn't it? I've got verification from another source though.

The cats will take care of the boar problem....hopefully.

Let us hope you never live anywhere more wild than suburbia, then. Geeze.

Because it's hard to drag a corpse AND carry a shovel.

Snakes rarely come into the house, and we live in a high set house. It's semi enclosed so that it can be locked up securely, and you can walk under there too. It's where our laundry area is, and it's where we keep all our tools and gardening impliments...including shovels!
