I used to be, at worst, neutral towards cats, and there were a few that I liked. Mostly I’m just allergic, so it wasn’t worth it to like cats. But then I moved into my own house, and the cats have:
- ruined the paint on the roof of my truck, by using it as a launch pad to the roof and as a scratching post. $1500. Not covered by insurance.
- tore holes in a car cover, using it as scratching post. $400.
- ruined the upholstery on my porch furniture by sleeping on it (allergic, remember?), and using it as a scratching post. $100.
So I’m out $2000 and I don’t even have a cat.
So coyotes, come and get them. I have no qualms whatsoever about bad things happening to the local cats. And if that’s your cat…
