Agreed, anywhere but here.

OOI, I wonder if it's only those who have had their brains turned to
mush by some accidental exposure to cats (some time in the future we
will probably work out it's some form of mind control / cat borne
parasite that does this to 'real men' g) and of what percentage here
actually find such things any more 'cute' than any other mammal
(especially) baby? If they actually aren't (and I don't believe they
are), how come this d-i-y newsgroup isn't littered (excuse the pun)
with pictures of other baby mammals, typically the most commonly kept
as a 'companion animal' in the UK, the dog? Maybe the non brain mushed
can show some constraint? ;-)

I believe I've already suggested the reason, a feline version of the
Jedi mind control, something most effective on those weak of mind of
course. ;-)

p.s. Sister came round yesterday with their remaining (rescue) whippet
and we introduced it to our daughters rabbits who were out in their
run. I think the rabbits can 'sense' when a true predator is around as
one hopped up to the wire and rabbit and whippet were nose to nose for
a few seconds and neither seemed particular perturbed or bothered
about the other. Apparently the whippet went to chase sisters runner
duck when it saw it loose in the garden for the first time and a firm
'no' was all it took to stop it (now the whippet takes no notice and
is in fact 'seen off' by the duck). That's not that it couldn't
dispatch the duck pretty quickly if it wanted of course, just that it
is keen to please it's mistress and so doesn't.

Does 'no' typically work on a cat when it's teasing a wild bird or
mouse to death?

It doesn't work on people that post drivel about cats either.

Quite, but it's like I said, the contact with cats has turned their
brains to mush. ;-(

Doesn't typically work with most dogs when
they are in a fight with another dog either.

Maybe not, (and you mean 'aggressive' - out_of_control / poorly trained
dogs) but the point was that the chances are it wouldn't work on most
cats under most circumstances.

Definition for something that is nearly impossible ... 'it's like
herding cats' ...

No maybe about it.

Nope.

You clearly havent tried herding dogs either.

You mean having it's dinner?

Of course your dog only eats animal products from a tin, animals that
have no doubt been raised and slaughtered in a loving and caring way.

I have been informed by catists that their 'companion animals' (that are
rarely there) often bring dead animals in and don't eat them, preferring
their pouch of Scottish farmed salmon or factory reared rabbit.

Yes, the would have been quickly slaughtered (often for us), not
tormented to death over a long period of time. It's not to do with what
is done, it's how it's done.

We recently rescued a mouse from a neighbours cat that it had been
'playing with' for some time. Kill it and / or then eat it.

We were also taught as kids it wasn't good to play with our food and
even worse to torment / torture animals (like some other animals do,
like killer whales do with seals).

But then thy aren't generally kept as domestic pets ... ;-)

If you want to see pest control being done quickly and efficiently,
check Youtube for (Jack Russell typically) terriers and ratting.

That is usually a female cat that has noticed that its human isn't
hunting, so it brings in prey for it to practice on, just as it would
for its kittens.

It's infested with cats round here, so I bought a Patterdale Terrier to
keep the stinky little bags of **** out of my garden. I haven't seen a
cat in my garden since I got the dog - well, not a whole cat, anyway.

It's 'natures way'. ;-)

Now all our dogs are all gone we have a similarly effective cat
deterrent in the form of a PIR triggered water cannon. ;-)

I saw some bloke and his two lads wandering about in our front garden
the other day looking under around our stuff in a very suspicious way.
Then he pulled a packet of cat food out of his packet and shook it and
I was quite expecting to see a cat burst out of the wall (like the TV
advert). I'm guessing it must have come out as they all walked back to
their house a few doors along.

I can't remember in all the years we have had dogs in the family (55)
*ever* having to go onto someone else's property to recover them.
