Cat problem
First off, let me say that I really don't hate cats.
Our house guests have a cat. They have to leave it outside in the yard because my dogs hate cats. The cat is on a leash.
The other night I heard a commotion out in the yard, so I went to look. There were about 20 cats in my yard. Some were fighting the cat on the leash and some were trying to mate with the cat on the leash. Others were climbing in the garbage can trying to munch out on the used pampers, and scattering them all over the yard.
I pepper sprayed the cats, but that didn't stop them. So, I called animal control. I told them there was a pack of cats in my yard and I wanted them to send a cat catcher to get them. No, she said, we can't do that. We can lend you a cat trap for two weeks, and then once trapped, we can collect the cats. I said ok, I'll come get it. No, she said, we don't have any.
So, I said, I'll pop them with my BB gun and get rid of them. Oh no! she said, someone might get hurt! Someone? Cmon, I said! There just cats! I'm not gonna kill them, just shoot them in the backside with a low powered BB gun.
You better check on local gun laws she said. Ok. I called the police and said is it against any law to shoot a BB gun. Yes she said. It is against the law to discharge a firearm in the city limits. I said it's a BB gun! She said it was still classified as a firearm. Why do you want to shoot it? I told her the cat story and she said I would be violating animal cruelty laws.
I started laughing real hard, and I think she was offended by that. What's so funny she said? I said the cats are terrorizing my guest cat, and scattering trash and baby sh*t all over my yard, and according to you the G-Dam cats have more rights than I do! Click.
I like to send them all to the Fort Worth mayors house.
