Default Possum in the pumpkin patch

: Yes, but I had a cat once who learned about rabbits up close
: and
ersonal, when a daughter kept pet rabbits in the house and yard.
:The cat learned that rabbits are 1) awful (one was in love with
:her and kept jumping her with passion), and 2) easy to beat up
though she never harmed a pet rabbit).
:After a while the cat started showing up with battered dead wild
:rabbits she had caught, and it was easier to keep a garden after
:that.


Well, I could get a cat and deliver it dead squirrels, which are
easy to find on the local streets. Maybe it would get the idea? I
suppose a tom cat would be better, because they're bigger. Dan


Dead squirrels might give an idea to a cat. Unfixed male cats are the
most butch. The only cat I ever had (I am 65) that killed a rat was an
unfixed male. I woke up to find a trophy of half a rat.
