I deal with stupid people in my family too.

They like to tell me if they ever come over (they don't because I am a CAT person not a DOG person) that they are going to catch Bastet and drown her in a gum boot.

My family like to make sure that there are no ferals around their place. They would prefer dogs that attack humans (and cats) rather than have anything remotely sensible.

I come from a family of hoons, rev heads and well a few words I don't care to use here. I hate going there. In fact I will feign illness so I don't have to go anywhere near my family.

At least though they do use humane catchers and give them over to the Council to dispose of. Feral cats or strays in au are immediately put down due to the protection rights of wildlife.

It just annoys me though that they see cats as a pest rather than as pets. Its not the cat's fault that owners are irresponsible. They say dogs don't cause problems. I can tell you none of them have ever seen a mauled calf before from irresponsible dog owners.

I wish I could *drown* them all in gum boots. They make me mad - but that is my 2 cents worth.
