She liked doing it (the cat too evidently) so this went on a while . Finally the old ho died and we still have two of her offspring . Even though she was a pain in the ass I liked her , she would bring me dead rabbits completely gutted ready to eat ...ugh and leave them on my neatly rolled welding cable where I would find it ......two days later . If you have an unusual cat they are easy to get rid of , if you have a plain or downright ugly cat , they are hard to get rid of . ps .Those cats were sired by tomcats that I usually had to shoot because buttholes would drop them of so the "nice ranchers could feed them" . This is an impossible task so I killed em with a shotgun . Pretty bad huh ? Please never ever fail to spay or neuter your cats . Dogs can be controlled . (shhhh ya gotta get em laid every now and then .) Only for the pups if they are wanted .
