I want to KILL my cat!!!

True David, any cuisine that uses strong flavors would do to disguise unusual meat selection. However, it is Eastern Asians from many countries that have a well documented propensity to consume animals which we westerners would consider taboo or disgusting. Trying desperately here not to be politically incorrect.[;)]

Not being from America, you might not get the joke "Cat, it's what's for dinner." That line is from the American Beef Council's TV ad campaign, only substitute beef for cat.

By the way, that is only a seasoning packet. You need to add the meat of your choice.

Yes, I agree with your last post loather, the problem is that people who get annoied, ops, that should be annoyed, or is that the wrong way of spellin it? well, by replying they just continue their own misery! they fuel the fire by tryin to put it out with petrol! (better things to do with that considering current prices!) I am neutral towards cats, but like a joke too(the pic)[}:)][}:)][}:)] Could it be ghosts outside your place making noises(just joking, who knows, might get in trouble for that!) I used to have a parrot(died of natural causes, while i wasn't here(no, not starvation)) and it like the plastic pine trees and the red model apples on those expensive ones you can buy! I called him my biologial terrorist, and told him the greenies wouldn't be happy with him. but I just had to look at him while he was doing it, and he would run to and into his cage, They aren't dumb ay?
ps, what else would you have done all night if it wasn't for this[8D][8D][8D][8D][8D]

Great thread!
Love the tabby!
Ever seen "Cat's Revenge. 101 Things to do with a dead human"? Now that is sick!
Jack Russels... only animal on the planet apart from a mongoose and a few snakes that will attack a rat in its home... that's what they were bread BRED [that was definitely the computer, wasn't wrong before first edit... don't want someone to be unreasonable about my posts...] for (In Manchester / C19). People say "Oh what a lovely little dog"! They're *************************** insane! (Not that I'm biased).
The people that wouldn't hurt / kill / eat anything living... what do they eat? Igneous rock?
(I feel sorry for cabbages... can't even try to run and hide...)
Foxes also kill for fun... so the PC / anti rich people brigade have banned fox hunting... putting a lot of ordinary folks jobs at severe risk... real neat... and what happens next time we get a rabbis (OOPS! that should have been rabies... I don't want to get accused of being anti-semitic) scare?

That tabby... it's enjoying playing pattercake... does anyone really believe it's putting its hands... correction... paws up...?

Just fix the door would you???????

Oh yeah... and anyone know a REAL solution to slugs... big fat 5" green spotty things... DISGUSTING. Have tried salt, copper spray, copper wire, beer. brick, commercial sprays, bait... never known anywhere like this for the things... they come and eat/ transit the barriers on their cousins corpses ... YEUK!!!

Loather:
I put my garbage out with the trash in uncovered trash cans on the side of the house and have yet to see any evidence of them being distrubed by wild or wondering domestic animals during the five years I have lived here. We place sunflower and wild bird seed mixture seeds on our rear deck to feed the squirrels and birds that come by. Since the food is readily obtaineable on our rear deck, the animals do not bother our trash cans.

I'm really not a cat fan.This ones a REALLY good mouser. That's the only reason she's still breathing. The weird thing is she was always in there with me and never showed any interest in the train or jumping up on anything. I'm starting to wonder if another cat chased her up there.

My my, you seem to have struck a nerve, four pages!!! Did it ever occur to you that perhaps a mouse got in first, and the cat was doing her best Tom and Jerry impression?

Around my house, the rule is: no pets, no problems. If I absolutely had to have a pet it would be something that lived in water. I haven't heard of fish destroying things.

Last night we had a wonderful dinner of Mongolian Beef. I happen to know it was BEEF, because I saw Big Girl take it out of the package and cut it up. You can find the mix packet in the ethnic aisle at the grocery store.

A couple of Saturdays ago, while out chasing trains, we stopped in a small town and ended up at the local Chineese restaurant for lunch. There I ordered the pepper beef. The texture was totally different, but very tasty.

If you happen to be a fussy eater, when ordering Asian cuisine, you may want to live by the rule: Know your server. Otherwise just order the vegetarian dishes.[:0][swg]

[loathar]

WOW!!! What the heck did I start??? Been at work all night while replies where coming in.
I really would not have shot the cat, I hate most cats, but this one is cool and serves a purpose. (good mouser) Does puke all over the place, but it is an outdoor cat, so not a problem.
Cats ARE the only animal that kills for fun.(other than sick humans)Too bad they don't kill toads because I have a toad problem too.
I've waisted a few coons and opposumes for getting in my garbage and there is a skunk that's been lurking around at night that I haven't seen but can smell at night when I'm out working on layout late. NO, I don't eat them, but if their fur was worth anything, I'd skin then them out and sell it.
(I used to fur trap when I lived up north, PLEASE don't throw any blood on my house, humans have done this for thousands of years before trains where invented)
I keep the pistol out there because I'm worried about brown bears that occasionally wander into the area. (There are NO CHILDREN where I live and if one did do the same to my layout, he would get a good scoulding and not a gun aimed at him(give me a friggin break)).
The pistol aimed at the tabby is REALLY GOOD!!!(I don't even care if it had a clip in it , that's funny)
In closing, the cat is fine, I've forgiven it, no major damage was done,(it's a temp layout that's getting ripped up this week anyhow so I can start my new benchwork) I now make a practice of latching the door tightly to avoid future mishaps.(I still worry when I'm out there late, I've heard loud banging on the building walls when I'm out there late[:O][alien]).
Now lets get past this before I'm accused of being a troll posting non train topics.
[:O][?](I really can't beleive the replies???)

Got rid of my cat problem the easy way.

The ex got all three of them from the divorce.

(Reminds me of a story. Way back when, one of my NCO's asked if he could leave work a little early because he needed to pick up a Christmas present for his son, who was 4. I asked him what he was getting him. The NCO said "a drum set." I of course said "a drum set? for a 4 year old? you've got to be kidding!!! why would you ever do something like that?" His answer? "The ex got custody." Told him to go get that present now!

Id shoot that cat too.... uhh.. as long as it wasnt my cat... my cats dont cause any mischief... *cough*

yeah, I have two of these, bengals... and squirting them with water would only attract them more, since they love water :-/





And no, Im NOT enjoying that.. [:-^]
hes a sloppy kisser.
(hmm, that doesnt sound right)

$1.00 wooden and copper wire mouse traps and 1 cent worth of peanut butter placed inside the little curled end with a toothpick. It has to be INSIDE...only. Mouse gets to work with tongue in the curl, and (........nothing.... ever more.....)

Maybe you should rent him out. I get mouse droppings all over the pike darn near every winter. I'll just make sure the good rolling stock is on terra firma

I used to have a problem with my cat stealing things from the layout room. An HO scale Jaguar E-type was of particular interest. He made off with that so many times...that I eventually bought him his own. But, he doesn't want that one...he wants mine! Oh well, at least he has good taste in cars :p

Cat psychology....hmmm, interesting...tell me, Ms. Kitty....how do you feel about your mother?

[icmr]

I havent had my whole layout wrecked by a cat but I have had a MTH 3-rail A-A set killed by a cat and my cousin. My cat knocked it over the first time and my cousin the second. My cats used my old layout for a bathroom and a daycare for their kittens. I have not let anymore cats in and if I find one I do anything to get it out of the room. Our garage door broke so the cats CANT get in now.

See the answer is shoot the cat, just with water.

[douginut]

the spring loaded door closers help a bunch. The FEMA beast of my last layout made the error of jumping onto the tracks when i had an old unit running with mucho power on and he had just been outside in the rain .
Junior went into the vertical take off mode and was not seen for two days. 11 volts will not HURT the cat but the cat will believe he is undergoing a near death experience.

Also if using a squirt gun keep it in the fridge and aim under the tail. You will learn where the term CATapult comes from.

Just put some cayenne pepper wherever the dang cat was on the layout and THAT should put an end toTHAT. Saw that somewhere on page 2 of this thread.

Best part of this is it works on Cats AND Dogs.

I'd sprinkle that tunnel portal especially.

[Anonymous]

I have actually put our cat on the layout to see what he would do. He just walked around and sniffed things. He appeared to be careful not to knock anything over. At times at night I can hear him gingerly stepping over things on the dresser in the bedroom without knocking anything over. The time that he did knock things over was when there was a closeby thunder clap that made him bolt. Then things went flying. I would guess that your cat was scared or was chased by something.

[Anonymous]

At least the cat was smart enough to pick on the biggest piece of crap on your layout!
I would be very thankful for that!!
But I would still use the cat for target practice with my Glock .40!!!!

[wctransfer]

James, didnt i say hunting was ok by me? I understand how some of you may not like the wild, and i know sometimes i wanna kill this stinkin woodpecker right by my window , but i dont because they dont know what they are doin is bad. Everyone that doesnt think that what im saying is right, but heres the dealio. If you have the temper to hurt something when mad, in this case a cat, DONT BUY A PET! Its your fault it got in there, not the cats. Although, that Dash 8 sounds pretty good, even though you say its in a couple peices. Just remember, things happen for a REASON. Sometimes in cruel ways but still.

[AggroJones]

OMG! Thats freaking terrible! My temper is so bad, I'd probably would've shot the cat on the spot.
I don't have any pets, so theres no danger of cat recking anything. Good luck in fixing the damage.

[selector]

A cat does what it does because of its nature. So does a human. A cat doesn't know that it is a cat, but a human knows that he/she is not a cat, and can therefore use that intellectual power to to excuse the animal. If the human accepts responsibility for controlling the cat's will in any way, the human must have the decency, ethically, to blame him or herself when the mistake is not attributable to the cat.

In other words, the cat did not know it had a choice of knocking over the trains or refraining from doing so. It only knew that it had an interest on the place where we know the trains happened to be.

after reading this Im glad Im allergic to cats, and i have a dog, all she does is retrive the towel from the bath sink but then being a golden retriver thats her job! so she thinks!

Good point. I would never shoot my cat anyway. I'd just blame it on a stray or something.[8D]
