This morning, I learned to my great dismay just how severe is the feline threat to our native bird populations. Cats, the original sport hunters, are evidently engaged in a quiet cross-species genocide. With deer eating all of our plants and kitties killing all of the birds, we may as well live in Manhattan. I think the choice is clear. People either need to keep cats that prefer deer - of course, that didn't work so well in Jackson Twp. - or we need to have periodic kitty culls. Perhaps Sbenois will expand his offering of culled meats to include various cat dishes.

In addittion, many of these feline predators feast on local mice, some of whom may be the elusive white footed mice infected with Lyme Disease bearing ticks!!
I think both the Maplewood TC and the South Orange Village Board should contract with White Buffalo to remove these possibly diseased predators from our towns. I humbly suggest that the carcasses can be donated to local food banks, as is the case with culled deer!!
Tjohn, this is an idea whose time has come. We can no longer ignore this threat to our native animal species and allow these diseased animals to remain in our towns. |

You wanna be very careful about suggesting that culled kitty be entered into the list of govt-permitted food sources. My experience with local Asian restaurants has convinced me that only home-raised, free-range kitty is suitable for human gustation. The added possibility that these ferile felines may be contaminated with Lyme Disease makes me even more uncomfortable.
As to the rumor that my own family tabby has contracted Mad Cat disease, let me assure my neighbors that he is in purrfect health; however, should he be run over by some lunatic driver while chasing blowing leaves in the street, or poisoned by some tainted garbage while innocently rummaging in neighborhood trashcans, or if he is struck by a bolt of lightning (!), then I'm going to blame some of the people in this room, and then I do NOT forgive... er, I mean to say that then we'll have no problem adding him to our New Year's Eve Mixed Grill. No Mad Cat here!

BTW: Library Lady's cat is just crazy, not mad. And it's an isolated incident. So stop picketing. |

ha, ha, tjohn. very funny.
you puny humans exist only because I, Grand Ruler of All Felines allow you. Any more suggestions of "culling" and I will be forced to order a preemptive strike against you and the rest of your species.
How would all of you like to be torn to ribbons while you sleep? One word from me, and my cat subjects will start planning their attack.
SO KNOCK IT OFF, HUMAN!

Listen here Cat. To borrow from a New Yorker carton I once saw, the fact that Egyptians once worshipped you cuts no ice with me. |

listen tjohn. I know you have a cat in your home, so all I have to say is that you'd better sleep with one eye open from now on.
Cats Rule!

Tjohn:
Great web site--some really useful recipes for MOL'ers to use, such as:
Roadkill Squirrel Squares
But why no mention of Yummers on this site? I was hoping to find the secret recipe. |

I have my doubts about the Roadkill Squirrel Squares recipe. Most roadkill recipes I have seen recommend using strong spices unless the roadkill is quite fresh. In the case of roadkill of uncertain vintage, I recommend making a fiery vindaloo. This will mask the strong taste and smell of older roadkill that some find to be offputting. |

Those who would kill cats indiscriminately would do well to read HP Lovecraft's wonderful story "The Cats of Ulthar." Ulthar, for the uninitiated, lies beyond the river Skai, and there no man may kill a cat. The story demonstrates why. |

Why don't they make commercial cat food out of mouse? Cats in the wild don't catch cows.

We don't actually eat the mice. We just catch them and show them off to you humans. You all seem so fascinated by dead vermin. |
