My wife and I have a couple cats that live inside. In fact, I've just gotten back from the vet after one of them got sick and spent nearly $150 on him to get him medicine and shots and whatnot.

The house next door has about 15 or so cats outside that run rampant, some of which are sick, and it seems my wife's beloved housecat had wandered down amongst those others and gotten sick as well.

So this morning after bringing him back from the vet, my wife asked me if I'd just shoot the other sick cats next door and be done with it.

I'll take out the .22 when I get home from work this afternoon and resolve the issue.


***Note: It should be noted, also that the "house next door" in question, is my 85 year old grandfather who's constrained to a breathing machine and can't do it himself.

Ask your wife to help ! Injoy

Nah, she likes 'em too much. She won't even shoot squirrels or rabbits. Heck, she won't even EAT squirrels or rabbits if she sees them before they're cleaned, or if after cooked, they have any resemblance to an animal.

She loves deer though, but again, only once it's cut into steaks and she doesn't see it whole beforehand.

Go figure.

My wife is a bit like that too. Fortunately we don't eat clays, so she shoots hell out of 'em.

Hmmmmmm, years ago I went into the local feed store and asked the owner, who I knew, "what do you use to worm a cat?" He replied, "a .22"....

Works for me !!!!

Can someone please explain to methe differance between a "sick cat" & "a healthy cat".Cause they all look the same through my scope

My wife will shoot pine cones with me. We go down to the woods and pick up a batch of 'em, then set 'em up on something and plink them off.

My previous wife from a previous warp in the space time thingy... well one day at the woods house we had shot all the carpenter bees with rat shot, and she started getting bored. I pulled out a coke can, filled it with water and let her shoot it with a .22 mag. Next thing I knew there wasn't a soda in the house! Well I decided to up the ante, brought out a milk jug and filled it with water and let her pop it with the Hornet. "Oh goody!", sez she, and then she dispatched me to Toomsboro for more cokes. "Liter bottles!" she yelled as I drove away.

Upon my return she had Bob out, and a box of loads with Sierra 90 gr. HPBT's that ran about 3300 fps for best accuracy. Damn if it weren't spectacular! Damn if she did have a hoot with that! By the time she ran out of Bob ammo I'd been to the store 3 times and they were scratchin' their heads pretty hard. One of the old timers asked if I wanted some 'shine for the party. I wonder if it would detonate?

Anyway, it was one of the only times I ever saw the girl laugh 'til she hurt. I spent part of two days cleaning up the fragments. As ususal, when I started to reload the ammo she gave me a ration of shit. Scary broad that one.... Late on I wondered if her head would do the same thing as the liter bottles. That was after she ran off with the guy with all the Perazzi's and red hair. Poor SOB.

You are a lucky dog, Digital Dan.

I should be so lucky.Mine has put a total ban on me shooting from inside the house at any vermin that wonders past.Yet she thought it impresive once when I shot a fox that had the cheek to walk past in broad daylight!Just poked the .22 out the bedroom window and goodbye Nurse, hello Jesus.Yet you shoot acouple of crows with a .223 out the back door & its a death sentence if you do it again

D.O.K.,,,did she happen to be taking something off of the stove while you were shooting?.223 has a bit more of a report than the .22lr,,,At least that's what i've been told by a couple of unfortunate people that have rode with me when I suddenly stopped and commenced shooting Clay

No Clay it was a little worse than that!!!!!!!!Our Toilet is right by the back door .Apparently the muzzle blast! Reverbirated into the very confined space I recon the conccustion must have been amazing

dok,

I bet she got through really quick when you shot.

Hog Killer

Hog killer When she appeared I foundout the literal meaning of your life flashing in front of your eyes I have been avoiding her ever since

Oh geesh, I can imagine.

Anyway ... update to this story. I finally walked down there yesterday afternoon and relieved 4 sows and 2 toms.

The others all looked healthy to me, so we'll see how it goes. I'm guessing there's about 10 in all down there, so that leaves 4. I think the others are 2 toms and 2 sows.

I personally don't understand her ire DoK. I mean really, what a cure for constipation, and what a wonderful thing for a dotting husband to do for his signifigant other. derf

I know I can't understand it myself .Sometimes that woman has no sense of humur!Yaers ago when we first met she wanted nothing more than a Roo skin purse.Well it seemed logical ,that seeing as I shot roos for a living & also tanned my own skins.I was just the sort of a Bloke to ask for a said "purse".Well i got her one complete with the Family jewels to impress her,with my blood line as it were. Well the outcome was that she through it into my face How was I suposed to know that she did,nt know that.Roo skin purses are made from the Scrotums, Of large "bucks" Plus on reflectio I suppose I should of tanned it first,not just cut it off in front of her& tossed it to her proclaiming it came complete with the family jewels
