Yeah, that was over the top. I admit I said it for effect. Truth is the old sack full of rocks and, I live next to a very big river, is all I got. But now that's not an insult; that's a plan. You're cat's so dumb it would wander into Dr. Schrodinger's yard -- that's an insult.

Ok, which raises an interesting question, I mean technically they can't charge you with animal cruelty as long as the bag remains closed, right?
Science!
Lol
And on a more serious note:
U.S. Faces Growing Feral Cat Problem
All kidding aside, I'm not actually looking forward to drowning a bunch of cats. I may wind up there however. There's at least 3 ferals now living under my next door neighbor's shed (vacant house for sale). The city can't deal with them and the folks who let their cats run loose in the neighborhood and caused the problem aren't spending their weekends collecting them up and taking care of them.
And yes, I probably would have done something by now except every time I bring it up my wife says, "if so and so sees you in the yard with traps she'll call and complain."
When I was about 7 years old we had a stray dog pack problem in the neighborhood. The neighborhood was suburban to semi-rural unlike my current city neighborhood. My Dad was afraid the dogs would attack the children who played there and so he took matters into his own hands. He was an archer. He took 1/2 a dozen arrows and cut the points off. Then he got our tinker toy set and took the round wooden wheels and glued them onto the shafts. I imagine they'd raise quite a welt but they weren't lethal. A few days of that and the dogs found someplace else to spend their time. Today he'd be arrested for that.
Back to kidding -- I say we do like the Taiwanese and open some restaurants.
