Pretty good advice from Uncle Nicky - to keep quiet about it whatever you do.In some states, it's not legal to shoot cats, so I would check your laws to be sure. A while back, I read where a guy got a pretty stiff fine for killing a cat here in Vermont.
The issue of cats being allowed to run loose - either pets or feral - is a very touchy one, and people on both sides tend to have very strong opinions and these have led to some awful flame wars on different web sites.
I will just leave it alone for now.... I haven't seen it in a couple weeks anyways. Don't want to start anything on the boards. I can remember when I was a kid and the farm next door had about 30 barn cats running around. I kjnow hunt a different part of the county. But to this day there are still wild cats out there that are decendants of those ones from when I was a kid, and that was over 30 years ago.... I was just curious. As fare as Im concerned we can now end this thread. Don't want to start any trouble.
