I've dealt with this type before. They are so selfish that no amount of respectful persuasion will get you anywhere. Best to nuke 'em.

I'm not sure you can nuke them. I think that's just an urban legend.

Is that a bad attitude to have?

I recently planted several garden beds and need help controlling any rodents that may try to move into the beds. In my opinion, that is what a cat should do. But he has no interest in that. Instead, he wants to be in the house all day long. I lose patience with him when I see him laying around sometimes and call him names and tell him he is a welfare bum that refuses to work. I've told him the purpose of his life is to catch mice but he acts as though my purpose in life is to serve him.

I feel he's love busting me and making me have disrespectful judgements towards him. What do you think I should do?


Can you get the cat to post here?

There is always two sides to every story.

He won't post.
He thinks humankind is stupid and not worthy of his time.
I saw him looking at a National Geographic magazine on the table and the article was about ancient Egypt and worship of cats.
He thinks he is better than everyone else.

Jedi you are coming at this all wrong.
Tell the cat that he is NOT allowed in the garden, and by all means, stay away from the Mice Family!
They will all be dead by tomorrow, yet he miraculously will know nothing.

Well, I have some updates since my last post.
I followed the posted advice and told him not to attack mice and birds...
But... He started attacking mice and birds near the garden (near the cucumber plants).
As I was drinking some Folgers coffee and thinking of the honest man Juan Valdez, I watched in horror as he leaped from the ground and took the life of an innocent sparrow. That was 2 months ago. I ignored his actions and thought they would go away over time.

A few days ago, the FBI kicked in my front door while I was watching a Star Trek rerun. Captain Kirk was about to kiss a blue alien girl when the agents from the FBI shouted they had a search warrant for my home. I read it and the officer said they were looking for my cat. Apparently he is suspected of killing an endangered mouse and its a violation of federal law. Something called the Endangered Species or Specimen Act. The penalty of it is death by listening to the Dianne Reames show.

I told the agent the cat wasnt here, that I dont own a cat and dont know any cat. The agent had cute eyes, and she was wearing a FBI mask when she spoke with me. I thought about what Dr. Harley said of dating 30 women...She had a nice figure and I asked for her number. She gave it to me...then took off the mask and I saw she had a handlebar mustache!

Now, I have 2 main issues. A wanted cat and a handlebar mustache woman. What should I do with the cat and the womans phone number?

Put signs up for "Missing Cat" with handlebar mustache woman's number on it. Relocate feline off-premises. Perhaps she'll think whoever returns it was the one harboring it.

Okay the Handlebar Mustache lady called me. She said she got my number from the FBI database. I guess they have everyone's number and any agent can access it.
She told me she could tell I seemed really interested in her but felt that I changed as soon as I saw her handlebar mustache. She said she has a genetic disorder which called muctachitis and it causes handlebar mustaches and hairy chests.

Now, she has a great figure except for the problems with her genetic disorder.
I'm very confused. she said if we date she could teach me how to properly wax a mustache but thats not a typical quality I look for in a woman.

According to Dr Harley, if she meets your other needs very well, you may be able to overlook this mustache situation and still fall in love and find her beautiful to boot. wink

But, that cat needs to go. He is nothing but trouble.

High 80's. Yuck!

It was high 80's here too and I was a bridesmaid in an outdoor wedding. I think I would rather have been running back to back races. smile

Well i have caught the canning bug and have been canning in my spare time. I've been using the open boil method but juat received a pressure cooker and also a freezer.
when i was a kid all my friends were Mormon and i was alwaya impressed with their pantries. They had enough food for several months. I would like to have a similar supply.
i canned some zucchini (dd8 helps me) and the flavor was incredible.
