Summary execution by manual strangulation for trespassing?
Seems a bit excessive.
But you are a mountain man.

But you are a mountain man.
Actually Dana, he identifies himself as a "Man Mountain".
There is a difference between that and a "Mountain Man", I believe...mostly having to do with girth.
On another note:
Dear Mr. ManMountain,
You have a valid point about urban cats & birds, and many of us agree with you in theory (which is why I keep my cat inside). But as it was pointed out above, the hate and venom of your delivery on a cat appreciation thread leaves much to be desired.
Allergies suck.
Animal abuse, however, sucks even more and is punishable by law.
Try Claritin...and a bit more kindness and understanding of the audience you're targeting here.
Thanks.

Wring one of these kitty's necks, manmountain. . .oops, I meant mouse. . .
I'm allergic to my cat too--and she plays outside, when I'm there to supervise, so she doesn't eat birds. . .

It is important for all cat owners to recognize that domestic cats are an introduced predatory species and to take actions to minimize the impact their cats have on wildlife populations.
It is perhaps more important for the bird-lovers/cat-blamers to recognize that human activity is responsible for massively more bird deaths than our pet cats are. To destroy close to 100% of the native habitat when building urban communities, redo them to our liking, douse them with chemicals and then to believe that they are somehow urban ecosystems which are bird friendly or even anything short of bird hostile is self-deception. Cats often become scapegoats for the real issue - our behavior, and our inability to face the troubling consequences of our own actions regarding all wildlife which inconveniently gets in our way.
Plus, a certain small percentage of the population simply have a cat-hating psychopathy.

We've had a few snowstorms in the last couple weeks, although they then melt away. There was a little more this morning. Here's Harley (the cat) checking out the new snow.
Eventually, he made a decision on how best to enjoy the day.

We followed these for about a mile last weekend in the hills on the north end of LA. They were as big as my fist.

When they are that big it’s better to follow the tracks in the other direction.

Beautiful collection, HV. I'm a sucker for dark and pastel torti's.
TBC, having spent 4 hours in surgery removing several pounds of carpet fibers from a dog via four enterotomy and one gastrotomy incisions last Saturday night, that photo - although lovely - gives me the willies.

yikes Perswig! she is such a nibbler already, and we are hyper-attuned to unplugging power cords and stuff already, but I sure was asking for it teasing her with the hemp ball.

Don't let me step on her buzz, TBC; it's just linear foreign bodies are a particular horror for most vets (maybe human docs, too, although outside infants, and prison smuggling, don't know how much this happens there?).
It's still a great shot with her personality, the twine texture, and lighting.

I pretty much only own black cats. To me they are just the best looking cats. And most are just a little nasty which makes them more cat like in my book and therefore more desirable. I don't want me no pansy cat.

Loved the new updates to my fav thread!
Roxy was there first, so I had to sit "around" her. When Mango wants to get on a lap, she's determined. Can never get anything done at home!
