Taking a CAT for a drive...

[illflem]

Switca,no I wouldn't because a vasectomy is a whole different procedure than a neutering.

 

[Champane Flight]

That sounds like the same way you do sheep. We would burn the tails off and a quick slice off the sack,reach in and two nuts between three fingers. Yank and spray with antiseptic. Used to do 150 in one day.

It sounds bad,but is it more humain to let the cat become a nuisance and come home every weekend with the crap beat out of him?Or have the local female have litter after litter of strays every year?

THE ONLY GOOD CAT IS A DEAD CAT! Thats my story and Im sticking to it.

Switca,The reason I said that the cat just runs ten feet away and licks it's shoulder when you're done was my way of saying the cat doesn't feel it. Of course I'm not into torturing cats,the only reason for subduing them is so they'll stay still. If you have a cat that is mellow enough to stay put you can have another person hold it while you do the job,the cat will likely purr the entire time. What I feel is inhumane though is having a cat declawed,they need those claws like we need fingers. Can't climb a tree or scratch a attacking dog's eyes out. Even though the cat is put under for this procedure I'm sure the cat must be in pain for quite some time after the removal,sort of how it would feel to have your fingernails pulled out. Sure would like to find a way to keep them off the cars and trucks though,I think they must be able to see with infrared,they home in on the warmest hood and leave their muddy little tracks everywhere including the windshield. Worst thing is if dogs "tree" your cat on a rig,the dogs will scratch the hell out of the paint trying to climb the side. Knew a guy who had three Rotwellers tree a cat on his Mercedes,did $4000 worth of damage,big problem was that the dogs belonged to his daughter...

Took my last cat for a ride. The dumb thing would come into the garage from outside and take a dump or whiz on the concrete.

Packed him up in the truck and let him out next to a tree that had a lost white cat sign hung on it.

A year later, he was still prowling the woods.

Stuff like that is probably against the law, but I didn't want to shoot the dumb animal. He sure was pretty.

Haven't had a cat since, unless you can count the ones I might have had at the local Chinese restaurant.

My cat flips out and runs all over the truck and me making funny noises! Kinda sucks, it's lonely in that big 'ol truck all by myself sometimes.

The thing that bugs me about MOST cat owners is the hold little or no responsibility to their cats. They feed them let them out to poop in your garden and reproduce like rabbits and don't see it let alone care about the mess they put their neighbors through. A co-worker (house cat owner) borrowed a trap from me to trap his neighbors cat so he could take it for a ride... this is a cat lover mind you! He just got sick of working his garden and finding cat crap. Trapped it, took it for a ride problem over. Dog owners must license their dogs which includes a multitude of vacinations. Cats, well it's your problem! I anticipate the bros getting pi$$ed but this is the way it is.

Some places don't require a pet license for anything but dogs... some do. Where I currently live, for example, if the local gendarme find out that you have an unregistered pet, of any kind, it's a hefty fine. They also legislate how many and what kind of pet's you can have on your property. All that and more for over $300/month of property taxes #ad


As for travelling with a cat, it can be an experience. Mine takes to the folded down center console or under the driver's seat. My biggest worry is getting the stupid thing tangled in my clutch and brake pedals at some point when it's crawling around #ad

I have no problem with getting them 'fixed'. I just question the method.

If the doctor said to me: "Hey, your nadz got to come off or you'll be dead by thursday. " I hope his plan was a little more than a 8" Henkles chef's blade, a pair of pliers, a splash of Bactine and some duct tape for the bleeding.

"Humain". Isn't that a human term?

 

[Champane Flight]

Switca,if someone told me I would die. And there wasn't a doctor around. I would hope for the Jim Beam and Bills sharp knife. Would that fall under "I'd give my left nut for"?**** how did we go from taking a cat for a ride to this?

We had a cat or two when I was younger. Some take to travel, some dont. Mark, sounds like you got a good one.
Bill, I'm not a country boy, but I dont think youre sick.
Last (and only) time I played a vet. was when my wifes dog was having pups. The dam dog didnt have a clue as to what was going on!!
She had 4 healthy pups that litter, and all lived. Only tools (?) required were a razor, and a few blankets. #ad

I DO NOT want to do that again.

Eric, I had a dog once that didn't have a clue about giving birth either. I came home and she had one puppy. The way she was bloated up before I knew there must be more. Heard a little cry out in the sage brush,found a pup,there was a little snow on the ground and I started following the dog tracks,found four more about 100 feet apart. Think the mom was chasing a rabbit while she was giving birth. All survived.

Talk about massacring a topic!!!

Oh, well...

I'm a country boy... but not a farm boy. My country experience is logging, not farming, and chopping on animals isn't for me.

The wife insists this kitty's going to become an IT insteading of growing up HIM... And I keep telling her it'll become lazy, indolent, and die young from being overtaken by moss... But so far, she's not convinced.

I told my wife the same thing about our last tomcat PW. She said why not have two around to wait on. Here I thought she wanted another cat!

Last time I took 4 cats for a ride was in in the back of the PU ( had a cap )and in the cab a model 97 w/ 8 rounds in the magazine. Prior to that was 2 snairs and a 1/2 mile ride to a 55 gallon drum of water.
