You know what? I love kitties. I do... BUT
As a natural born Californian and as much as I love kitties I have no place for them within my garden. That said, here is a phucked-up story that ya'all just might enjoy.
I did something horrible. I met a woman on the internet and moved to Texas. The cool part is that all those downright God-awfully beautiful Texans are some fine ladies. The bad part is they have a back side. But that's not what I'm getting at. That's another story within itself. I've grown vegetables in California, New Mexico, Arizona, Colorado and Washington State. But Texas found me in a very unique position...
This little old lady on the block behind us went into a retirement home. Okay. Three weeks later her son comes in and well, we have a very unique situation here. See, this little old lady, unbeknownst to the outside world had 27 cats locked-up inside of her house. Now, any good humanitarian would've called-in Animal Services and there would've been an implemented protocol. Wull we weren't so lucky. her son decided to open up all the windows and doors and set 27 malnourished felines astray within a small podunk Texas town.
Now, I'd made several calls to law enforcement but nothing really came of it. My "organic" backyard garden was being decimated by felines and there was no proxy for alleviating the problem. So I called in the County Sheriff and when he came down he had a different message, "IF they are a public nuisance, IF they are causing damage to your vehicles and your home, your garden etc... SHOOT them.
Okay. Now I don't necessarily condone the killing of any domestic animals but these cock suckerz were spraying our cars, pooping in my truck bed, my back laundry room reeked of amonia... so I took action.
I didn't like it but... I alleviated the situation over the course or two weeks with a semi-auto .25 Cal pre-charged pneumatic air rifle from my bathroom window using an infrared night vision scope. My girlfriends sons turned out being a better shot than I was.
It just is what it is.
