International Cat Day 2020
 |
This has resulted in several episodic retaliatory measures — some of which left me feeling a bit badly ... however, dominance in my yard is my own, not some neighbor's companion animal.
So when I take an animal to the shelter and leave it ostensibly for euthanasia I feel totally justified. Mama says how you can't contain a cat like you can a dog. I say you can sure kill them like a dog.
Anyway, today is International Cat Day. It is a celebration which goes down annually on August the eighth. It was created in 2002 by the International Fund for Animal Welfare and is a vehicle for 'cat people' like Dr Phil and others to practice their gushing for a day and hopefully get it all out for the year.
Elsewhere, International Cat Day is also called World Cat Day and those responsible for it claim that the observation increases all over. There is some variation in the actual date of the observance, but not being one to observe it for the most part that does not affect nor interest me.
International Cat Day is designed to raise awareness for cats propagate ways to help and protect them. You can help our neighborhood cats by keeping them the hell out of my yard. Maybe you could have an international committee to come over and extricate the poop from my yard as well.
Yes, it would seem my kindness toward dumb animals definitely has it's limits and feline poop machines will never get their fair share. I have attempted to attain some semblence of tolerance in that I no longer trap them for transport to the shelter to be euthanized.
This, however may not be a permanent reprieve and I have no qualms with any manner of disposal of these vermin. My tolerance is out of respect for my neighbor across the street. She has a bunch of cats and I don't wish to make her unhappy.
