If you love animals, this may disturb you. Do not read on. Here is my quandry.
We picked up two farm cats to help rid us of mice here on Friesen's farm. They are wonderful at this task. Incredible mousers. These two ladies, Streak and Lightning, are phenomenal.
Streak especially. She regularly carries rats, mice, moles, baby bunnies, still flapping baby pheasants and squirrels into my garage to show off. It's survival of the fittest out there, no problem.
Then another stray straggles in. Little Streak. Fine. Three cats. Three female cats. Sure enough, a young handsome feline strolls in and voila, we have three litters and seventeen kittens. It's taken months to get these kittens homes. Months. Energy. Time. Etc.
So now more suitors are prowling about. I've taken to shooting them. Now, I have not hit one. I'm not a good shot, but I'm tired of kittens and so I shoot cats. Horrid. Cruel. I hate pulling the trigger.
Just take them to the doc and your problems are over--I hear cat lovers screaming. It seems it would be. But at $200 a crack, that's $600 for these three. And farm cats don't last too long, not with hawks and coyotes, etc. So with little cash but plenty of bullets I have taken to cat shooting.
I am not proud of this, and the first time I blow away Muffy I will not sleep well. Until then, anybody want kittens? I have plenty to give away.
