cats are cool, not my favorite critters, but, we own one. It has never been outside. My daughter wanted a cat, we got one.

Cat lovers really need to read this:

with all that said, cats that roam freely need shot on site. I applaud those that expend ammo in their direction. Got a black and white one that sits under my bird feeder, still trying to solve that problem. Its a tricky one, but maybe a 110 victor leghold, placed carefully in the flower garden where it likes to ambush from???

All those that let cats roam i have a question? Why? That just tells me you dont give a shit about your pet. Between getting run over, getting disease, getting picked up and made someone elses pet, why would you care if your cat gets shot?
