And Mommie if you were about 50 pounds lighter I’d kill you in my sleep!
We have a bird dog too. Brody is a imperial Rottweiler. He was my son’s bird dog when hunting ducks and geese in Idaho. Brody has now retired from being a hunting dog and he now lives with us in Northern Nevada. But he is still a hunting dog. He regularly kills pigeons, doves, various songbirds, rabbits, and mice.
I do concede to your point... but that would make it..”What came first, the warming or the p....? “
Good job boys!
Ignore the ill informed who want to be the ones to pick nature’s winners and losers.
Oh come on...most cats never leave the inside of the home.
We have four cats, and they do not go outside.
For one thing, we do have a lot of birds in our yard and up in the trees. They’re pretty, and they fly around a lot.
But the main reason we don’t let the cats out is that there are very large predatory birds, hawks, and most important,
the eagles from Guilford Lake come here and roost in our very tall trees.
They would make a quick snack of any one of our cats, so the cats are not allowed outside. At all. Ever.
DANG!
My cats are indoors. They just pounce on each other.
My friend with the Jack Russel has a Rottweiler too.
What a coincedence, and yes he was telling me it was a bird catcher.
My dog is a black lab border collie mix dark and shaggie smelly and all about love and the pack (her family).
She won’t even chase a ball or pick one up because, balls are not food, but she is great to walk without a leash.
She’s old and getting hard to walk now. Take meds.
“Cat Exclusion Zones”
except for the “Gay” Mooselim cat!!
Wonderful Cartoon!!! Thank you.
That looks like my Janus pronounced Yannus, she was born indoors, and spent the first year indoor. She was then moved to a farm. She is in hunter heaven. She loves mice, and grasshoppers. She’ll eat the mice after we pull them out of the trap.
Evidently moles don’t taste good. She and all the other farm kitties will kill the moles but they will not eat them.
I only steal the best.
There have been many times where her on deck patrol have allowed her to catch voles wandering around the base of the deck as well as several baby bunnies. I even observed her leap thru the deck railing to nab a goldfinch that had landed on one of my black eyed susan seed pods..........
Unfortunately she immediately brings them into the house and drops them on floor....
OMG, I didn't think anyone would believe me. I'm sitting on my friend's deck enjoying a beer when his Rottie - big, goofy, loving, slobbering dawg - is sitting in the middle of the yard looking around. "Watch this," my friend sez. Took a robin right out of the air. "He goes after bees too," he sez...
I love my two cats...and cats in general...and I’ll support them all no matter what they kill. That’s what God put them on the earth to do.
As for cats, I have a Manx point siamese female that was declawed before I got her. She is an indoor cat and has a whole toybox full of “critters” to catch. She wanders down the hallway carrying a critter while yowling “look at me!” Then she drops it at our feet and gets some praise petting.
Now the other one who does go in and out all day is a lanky slinky lean orange tabby with a long, long, tail now...he should be a good hunter but...he’s not very smart... he tries and misses a lot!
I think he is “special”.
The West Nile disease did a job on them. Crows,blue jays, rain crows (cuckoos), night hawks, whippoorwills and others practically disappeared. The crows & jays seem to be making a little bit of a comeback here in east central Illinois. I suspect there are a lot fewer cats since most farm homesteads no longer exist. Each probably had about a dozen or so.
