WAIT. jlt19 - did the cat waiting at the bottom of the slide look like this? 

Because then I am fully on your side and moving is your only solution.

I don't know, guys. My fat lump of a cat IS really scary.

How much does he weigh? I love my ginormous puddle of a cat.

Last time she was pretty close to 20, which is A LOT for her, because she's so short. I'm almost ashamed that she's gotten so big, but I LOVE having a fat lap cat.

Cats are such assholes, they seek out people who hate them and do this crap.

My mom hates our cats.  As soon as she arrives and sets her purse down, my cat climbs inside of it.  Every.fucking.time.

This is cracking me up.

I'm just here to frighten everyone with pics of the cats I live with.

My cat-



Who is afraid of this cat-



And is REALLY afraid of this 5 lb. cat-



I would show you a pic of my parent's third cat, but she's afraid of EVERYTHING.

Most people I know that use a cage then kill them or take them to a shelter. Catch and release isn't flameful! People shouldn't let their cats outside anyways.

Um... What the fuck?  Most people you know catch and kill outdoor cats?  How do they kill them?  How do you know this?  Why do you associate with psychopaths?  

Feral cats. I don't mean every person I know does this, but I have known people who do. Feral cats are pretty terrible.

I have that book! I need to show my dad on how to pet a kitty. He keeps insisting on rubbing his cat's belly, but then the cat scratches/bites his hand. Al bit me!!! Well stop rubbing his belly, I don't care how cute he looks!

This reminds me of one of my favorite stories ever.

We had just moved into a townhouse. I hear a knock at the door, and it's some guy who introduced himself as my neighbor. We then had this convo:
Him: do you have a cat?
Me: yeah... 2 (they are indoor cats)
Him: what do they look like?
Me: describes them awkwardly while trying to figure out wtf he was getting at.
Him: oh... Cause I just walked into my living room and there was a cat staring at me. I don't have a cat.

Apparently my cat found a way through the insulation in the laundry room into his house. We locked the other cat in a bedroom and spent the next couple hours searching for her in both houses and the wall. I eventually went upstairs to check on other cat... And the missing cat was just sitting there. She's a ninja.

So does wildlife...which feral cats are a part of. Hence the descriptor "feral".

And I know you're not the person doing this - I'm not piling on you here. I just don't like your neighbors. I will never be comfortable around anyone who kills for fun.

Yeah, but no one should be killing them. I don't mean that in a condescending way. Just an alarmed way. Just let them live out their lives like the wild, majestic, narcissistic beasts that they are.

If by wildlife you mean rodents, then I'm perfectly ok with that.

Fuck rabbits.

Man, I love cats so much. I love them more than dogs. Even puppies!

Just don't do granny smiths, some cats like a challenge.

Ignorance.  Read up on TNR and statistics dealing with feral populations.

I agree, however I believe they fall in the rodent category.

Well, you said "most people" you know.  

By what methods do they kill them?

Story time. Themes: I am stupid, cats are sociopaths.

I had roommates in college. It was a break, Easter maybe, and I wasn't going home for some reason. My roommate asked me to feed the cat and Also Give It a Pill each day. She asked because she hated me and I agreed because I'm stupid.
The cat clawed the life out of me. The last night of the break the cat walked coolly right past her litter box, turned and crapped right in my face.

Did you trap it and kill it?
