LOL I personally think this is a great idea. I am not a big fan of cats.

Arent's there huge numbers of strays living on the outskirts of Florida cities? Perhaps a viable alternative for the trucking industry at least.

Lastly, I just don't see what upsets the animal rights activists. It is not as if he is actually killing the cats.

Reuters ^ | Wed Sep 14,12:50 PM ET | unknown author from reuters
BERLIN (Reuters) - A German inventor said he has developed a method to produce crude oil products from waste that he believes can be an answer to the soaring costs of fuel, but denied a German newspaper story implying he also used dead cats. Christian Koch, an inventor and patent holder of the "KDV 500" that he said produces high quality fuel, said he can transform waste products such as paper, rubbish and plastic materials into fuel. But Koch, 55, said there was no truth to stories published in Bild newspaper Tuesday and Wednesday that suggested he used dead cats...

Already debunked. Bild is the German equivalent of the Weekly World News.

I fear that using cats as fuel could lead to a holocats.

The question no one is asking: How many miles per cat? Or cats per mile, I don't care...

It's just another process added to cremation that will be finally done in an internal combustion engine instead of a furnace, what are they up tight about?

I think if it proves to be economical that all animals including humans that die should be made into fuel.

It could sure make a lot of good real estate available for development that is currently wasted on marble orchards.

Too bad that's not a true story. There are plenty of feral cats in Wisconsin that would make great kindling. Of course, the DNR considers them a "natural resource" so we're not allowed to touch 'em, even if they kill our chickens and house and barn cats. *Rolleyes*

You know, every town across America has a veterinarian office with a crematory in it. I've had a few pets turned to ash over the years. Wonder why someone hasn't tapped that energy source? I'll suggest that to my Earth First! socialist BIL and watch his head explode. Again. LOL! :)

"I drive my normal diesel-powered car with this mixture," Koch said. "I have gone 170,000 km (106,000 miles) without a problem."

NOT EVEN AN OCCASIONAL HAIRBALL!!

Johnny Verbeck Suggested by Marcus Soukup of Troop 33, Cedar Rapids Iowa

Once there was a Dutchman

His name was Johnny Verbeck

He made the finest sausages and sauerkraut and speck.

He made the finest sausages that'll evermore be seen,

Till one day he invented a sausage makin machine.

Chorus:

Oh, Mr. Johnny Verbeck how could you be so mean,

I told you, you'd be sorry for inventin' that machine

now all the neighbors cats and dogs will nevermore be seen

For they'll be ground to sausages in Johnny Verbeck's machine.

One day a boy came walkin' a walkin' thru the door.

He bought a pound of sausages and laid them on the floor.

The boy began to whistle, He whistled up a tune.

And all the little sausages went dancin' round the room.

Chorus:

One day the machine got busted the darn thing wouldn't go,

So Johnny Verbeck he climbed inside to see what made it so.

His wife she had a nightmare, went walkin' in her sleep

She gave it a yank a deuce of crank and Johnny Verbeck was meat!

Chorus:
