Its baby kitten season at the farm. So far, three momma cats and
nine baby kittens.

"Wild Thing" and "Cally Dee" have done something we've not seen
before. They put their litters together in a real nice spot in the
corner of the barn. Then they take turns nursing the combined
litters and hunting.

spark, fume, huff
I'm not gonna say it. I'm not gonna say it. I'm not gonna say it...

Yes I am.

GOT BURLAP?

You ass , cats on a farm are a GOOD THING. They keep the rodent
population down . Or would you rather eat grain and produce that's
contaminated with rat pee ?

Unchecked littering and rampant feral populations are -not- good
things, snag.

And exactly what did Karl say to give you the idea this was unchecked
littering of a feral population ? While I didn't get the impression that
these were house pets , I also got the idea that they were not feral . Karl
mentioned somewhere that his wife has taken on the job of making sure these
cats are comfortable with humans . His exact words : "My wife is a PKT
(Professional Kitten Tamer). Its her job to tame all kittens so we can give
them away." .
Now the cats my neighbor feeds WOULD qualify as feral , IMO . Scraggly ,
unapproachable by humans , and they roam loose in the neighborhood getting
into trash cans .

As soon as all the males in that new population get old enough to hump
something, they'll be creating their own new populations with whatever
un-neutered and feral cats that are within range. It's what he didn't
say. And the fact that both his cats got pregnant at the same time
indicates that he's never neutered his pets. shrug

When I'm king, pets (aka "slaves") will be outlawed. I've seen far
too much abuse by the vast majority of pet owners and experienced
losses to the feral populations of dogs and cats to like any of it.
Gunner and Karl are probably good pet owners, but neither has kept
their populations in check. To me, that's shameful and saddening.
deep sigh
