Dogs that bark constantly at non-existent objects and cats that expect attention and then bite or scratch as repayment make really good target practice.  Small caliber high velocity ammo is better than the sub-sonic stuff.

That's a hard question, Neil. I've never owned a cat, but there is many that live around my area. I have no desire to harm them, but it doesn't bother me if they are killed by a dog or car. They decimate local wildlife, destroy my garden, cr@p in my son's sandpit and steal my dogs' food. Feral cats in Australia are one of the major destroyers of local fauna. They upset the delicate balance in most environments, roaming free in the nights, breeding and killing while their lazy arse owners sleep without care. They ate my homework, created havoc on our public transport, are responsible for the drought, started the war in Iraq and crashed my computer. Contrary to what most people will try and tell you, global warming is caused by cat farts not those lovely bovines.

"I don't mind PROPER cats"- what the hell does that mean, Rich? Are you getting a panther? You clearly don't like lions and tigers.



  I understand now Roberth..but, it was also cats that landed on the moon, discovered penicillin and invented the internet and I.T. ..think...if it wasn't for cats, we wouldn't be able to chat (uh oh !!!)

Yeah, yeah, but they had help on the internet thing from Al Gore, didn't they. He probably did most of the work, because cats are such lazy bastards.

Yeah, all you theoretical cat haters are probably like my Dad who talked about what a pain the "damned old cat" was.  But when we came back from vacation he was on the floor asking if "the lonely old puddy tat missed us".

One way to prevent the cat from missing him at all would be to stamp on it, hard. Regularly. It definitely wouldn't miss him then !

Geez, you boys should try to get on better. You'll both be pleased to hear that we had our replacement fishing trip last Saturday. It was one of the best days we have had yet. Nothing to do with me getting biggest fish, again. This time it was a 62cm king fish. Mmmmm. I ate it ( with some help) on Sunday and Monday. Mmmmm. We caught a total of about 43 fish. Apart from the king fish, we caught one good sized rock cod and about 20 of each morwong and leather jacket. We were fishing in about 100 metres, approx. 10 kms from the coast. The day was warm and sunny with a 1/2 metre choppy swell and a slight breeze. We also had a minke whale circle us for about 20 minutes and we saw a humpback about 50 metres away later in the day.

Ok Neil, I cave in to your distate of our scaley swimmers......why exactly do you hate trout so much ?....I appreciate some people hate them , you seem to have a particularly high angst towards them. I'm not trying to convert you, just interested how this loathing of them came to be.
