I completely OVERDROVE my point. I do see the angle of humor. I was just surprised at how MUCH of it was here. It is like the cat killer convention. I am not much of a cat person even though I have a cat I took in 10 years ago since it was abandoned. It is just freaky how cats instill a desire in so many humans to inflict harm on them. I was merely cautioning people to not go overboard with their hatred of cats.
I am NOT suggesting Socratic deductive reasoning: Serial Killers kill cats, people here kill cats, therefore people here are serial killers. NO. Just pointing out that it is not the healthiest thing to have a LONG forum thread unfold about ways to kill or dispose of cats.
I appreciate your considerate response. I am not offended, I just typed my immediate thoughts. Did not mean to ruin the party, just meant to rein it in a bit.
Sometimes group collective reinforcement instills acceptance of certain behavior inadvertantly, then maybe one day someone winds up in a situation where they have a BB gun and see a neighbours cat in THEIR yard and subconsciously remove the hesitation to refrain from the impulse to shoot it with the pellet gun. I still have the image of the German Shepherd with the crossbow arrow in its snout.
Anyway, I am not offended. I have had to deal with the EXACT same situation with my amps and preamps and I'm sure cat lovers would have been shocked with some solutions I pondered on in my head.
My point was a little harsh, so also, take no offense guys.
