That’s why I addressed “the little pissing match” in the thread that was started where **somebody else** pitted **sailor** for dragging threads into his off-topic rants which, hey coincidence, is \*\*exactly the same subject as “the little pissing match”.

How wonderful for me to be so important in your life. Feral cats and feral dogs have no place in the ecosystem where I live. Accordingly, they are targets always and food when I feel like eating them. Fluffy the fat-ass housecat who hasn’t had a hungry day in his life will still raise holy hell with the native songbird population when his shit-for-brains owner lets him out to “play.” Domestic dogs run deer to death just for the chase because they have equally stupid owners who let them run. You want Fluffy and Fifi to stay alive? Keep them on a lead or keep them in your house. Otherwise, you have no cause to grieve when your beloved pet runs afoul of a car or me. ---

Hurrah for vanity searches! They allow you to prove my point, and the appropriateness of your username, so thoroughly. ---

Just keep the worthless goddamn cat in the house where it belongs, and you won’t need to worry about what I’m doing for target practice and/or dinner, nein? one thing I guarantee is that you worry about me and what I do,than I do about you.
