Americas war on feral cats

[gotmuddy]

I think the term feral cat is an oxymoron.  Even the tamest housecat is 2 missed meals away from being a tiny tiger.

I have the answer: or what Marty said.  They make really good Cashew Kitten.

I can't tolerate cats getting into my customers boats.  I understand that the boats smell like fish and that it really isn't fair..... but still.   

I give them 2 chances to realize that they aren't wanted around here, and if they don't stay away they get a pellet in the head.   

I'm blown away by the SIZE and WEIGHT of the feral cats around here.   Relatively normal sized heads, but body's that are nearing bobcat size, and tails that are even longer than their body.   And as heavy as a cranking battery.   I honestly can only throw a dead one about 15ft.

For max distance, try holding the cat by the tail and whirling around like a hammer thrower.  Three twirls is about right.

I'm not exaggerating when I say that the tail feels like it will snap in half from the weight.   These kitty's are HUGE.   I have to sling them by both back legs held together.    

Just out of curiosity I'm gonna grab my fish scale and weigh the next one......cuz this isn't normal.

Back legs would work too.

Post it up.   Maybe we have a big cat tournament.  😂

Never threw them, but did a lot of special hikes out onto conservation or national forest lands to let the coyotes enjoy.

I do agree that holding the back legs and the high low spin of a hammer throw would get the height for maximum distance 🤣

Just so I am clear, does this throw occur before or after the shot?

I was referring to the weigh in....😂

The girl next door might just have a winner😁
