1. And I should be listening to the cat, why?
His idea of heaven is finding a small innocent rodent & killing it.

7. If you had ever seen what rats can do to a house, you'd never, ever call them innocent
Edited on Wed Feb-11-09 02:51 PM by 1monster
again!!!

My husband hung a bird feeder up on a California rafter one week. A few evenings later, we heard a commontion out on the deck. Turned on the outside lights and discovered Ben and all of his friends up on the rafters fighting over the bird seed (they chewed a hole in the roof of the bird feeder).

There were at least a hundred on them. And these were not just common variety little rats. They were huge marsh rats.

And on the deck below, mice were sitting, eating all the seed that fell from the rat rage going on above.

The next morning the feeder came down.

But, unfortunately, the rat over population in the neighborhood had just begun. They were everywhere! My neighbor found rats nesting in her dryer vent on more than one occasion.

They got into our garage where I had boxes of books, clothing, Christmas stuff, and memorabilia stored. Rats cannot control their bodily functions ... Need I say more than that most of it was destroyed?

Then there were the doubled (nailed together) two by four house supports of our wood frame home. We had to replace three of those because they were chewed all the way through. If the supports had been in a row or in serious load bearing walls (thank God, they were not), the wall would have fallen down.

All this damage was done in a period of one to two months.

We had to use poison and then we got cats. It seemed like the whole neighborhood got cats.

We don't have a rat problem here anymore and haven't had one since we got cats.

Rats are fine in the marsh. But not in my house!!!

15. My mother would have a heart attack.....
...just reading the story about the bird feeder. She is deathly afraid of all mice and especially rats.

35. I'm aware of that, but I've never seen my cats bag a squirrel... They show interest, but squirrels
climb a whole lot faster than my cats do. Never were very many rabbits in my neighborhood. I do see them occasionally, but the cats have never put one on my doorstep. They have gifted us with rat corpses, though...

My new neighbors worry about the birds, but ever since a couple of red tailed hawks (who have since had offspring who have had offspring) moved into our neighborhood, the smaller birds (blue jays, cardinals, mourning doves, etc.) have moved away.

And I don't see even my (well-fed) adventurous kitties going after them!

40. Sorry, rabbits ain't rodents.
Rabbits are small mammals in the family Leporidae of the order Lagomorpha, found in several parts of the world. There are seven different genera in the family classified as rabbits, including the European rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus), Cottontail rabbit (genus Sylvilagus; 13 species), and the Amami rabbit (Pentalagus furnessi, endangered species on Amami Ōshima, Japan). There are many other species of rabbit, and these, along with pikas and hares, make up the order Lagomorpha.

4. I have done a lot of psych evals of people in jail.
Often they tell me they found Jesus in there. I always ask, "What was Jesus in for?"

3. I'm sorry, but that's an impostor!
The real Jesus is sitting on the dashboard of my car. And I don't care if it rains or freezes, as long as I got my plastic Jesus.

6. That brings to mind Tom Lehrer's Vatican Rag.
First you get down on your knees,
Fiddle with your rosaries,
Bow your head with great respect,
And genuflect, genuflect, genuflect!

Do whatever steps you want, if
You have cleared them with the Pontiff.
Everybody say his own
Kyrie eleison,
Doin' the Vatican Rag.

Get in line in that processional,
Step into that small confessional,
There, the guy who's got religion'll
Tell you if your sin's original.
If it is, try playin' it safer,
Drink the wine and chew the wafer,
Two, four, six, eight,
Time to transubstantiate!

So get down upon your knees,
Fiddle with your rosaries,
Bow your head with great respect,
And genuflect, genuflect, genuflect!

Make a cross on your abdomen,
When in Rome do like a Roman,
Ave Maria,
Gee it's good to see ya,
Gettin' ecstatic an'
Sorta dramatic an'
Doin' the Vatican Rag!

No way we'll convince the nonbelievers.

29. Maybe Jesus didn't want you to find him.
Maybe you, Jackpine Radical, are the one person Jesus really can't stand. That's right, I said it. Jesus is just not that into you.

:P
