Pet Peeves, What really irks you?

Sounds like you had a bad week! I wish for you a better one this week!

The neighbors barking dogs at 7 in the morning on Saturdays and Sundays. I think it's time to get a 9 MM.

Naw , get an Paint Ball rifle..
Worked like magic on .. well my neighbors wandering cat

That's a great one Paula! I bet it does work too!

Like a charm.. for one thing.. I live a five iron off a very busy four lane..
This cat was wandering the neighborhood, sleeping on my back porch funiture, leaving it covered in hair..Im allergic to cats.. I like them , but they make me very ill..along with stalking my bird feeders.. and getting a few Gold Finches..
To add insult to injury , it was using my herb garden as a toilet.. ugh the SMELL ..

Sooo, I really did'nt want to trap it , and let Animal Control take it ..
the owner did'nt seem to care where it was most of the time..
it would have been put down before they found it at the pound,,
I just could NOT live with that ...

So I shot it in the butt , from a good distance,( I KNOW paint balls sting...)
twice
I think the cat and the owner got the message..

In Service to the Dream,
Paula

Paula, you're cracking me up! That is soooooooo hilarious! But I bet it worked,eh? Thanks for the tip! I may need to get one one day!

The paintball gun is an elegant solution. I have used a slingshot to deter cats. When I was about 15, I used a muskrat trap. My mother was NOT amused about having to release a cat from the trap in the front yard (lots of flopping around and screeching). Needless to say, the cat avoided our yard after that. I was a wild child from the mountains at that time. I have become SLIGHTLY more civilized since then.

The accuracey of those is a joy !
and I know I did'nt hurt it..........
because it stayed on the fence long enough for me to get another shot off

If I lived further out, I could perhaps see, letting a cat wander...
but .. I am right in the city ...
As annoying as that cat was.. I did'nt want it to become road pizza
because its owner did'nt know any better !

In Service to the Dream,
Paula

road pizza?! You guys crack me up! When I had cats .............and I did for years before having dogs.............I always used a high powered squirt gun!

Rose, did you have cats, or did they have you? It's been said that you never own a cat, they just choose to stay with you.

Everybody is missing the point . Shoot the pet owner, not the pet

Also once I put up an electric, invisible fence and gave the electronic shock collars to all the owners of the pets in the neighboor. My dog already knew to stay in the yard. I taught the other pets to stay out also. I was the town hero for giving away so many collars. Too bad I couldn't get the owners to put one on also>

WEll, Todd. These two particular cats had me!

One of my newest pet peeves is when people from warm climates rub the warm weather in the faces of their poor northern brethren.

Yeah, you know who you are!

Hmmmm, wiping the sweat from my brow as I consider turning down the AC just a little more. Wonder if he could be talking about me?

Ya might be, rabbit, ya might.

Actually I was picking on Celtic Rose for that little weather bar thingy she had in her signature. While I was grousing about the cold weather she had that thing taunting me with the prospect of dry warmness. Pure evil!
