Hunting gathering.....
« on: September 05, 2010, 08:48:08 PM »
We have been very active at reducing the cat population of our neighborhood.  So tonight I caught the last kitten of 5 and one of the big males that get the mommy PG.  If I could ever need to actually hunt or gather, my traps work well.  I will have these guys fixed and release them back to the wild.

Sterilised, which is nicer than I'd be considering the devastation cats are causing to our native fauna. I'd be giving them to an animal shelter, the kittens would have a chance at being adopted but probably put down, the mother would almost definitely be put down.

The answer to your question is 'eat more fat'.

Stop counting calories. If you are eating Paleo, there is usually no need.

If you are having weight loss issues, it'd be a good idea to start posting a detailed food journal, then everyone can help.

'Anecdotal Evidence' is an oxymoron.

For a moment I thought you were going to say you ate the cats.

Now that would be a paleo solution to the feral cat problem.

Domestic short hair cats tend to be stringy and tough...but you could eat them in a pinch for sure....  Just not my taste plus the wife would kill me...

Mittens? Little furry slippers?

Seriously, I really get angry about feral cats... and rabbits. Actually any kind of domestic animal gone feral, but cats and rabbits most of all. The cats kill everything and the rabbits destroy the land. I dunno about letting them free again.

In truth I just bought a rifle specifically for rabbits, my other one was too big, didn't leave anything to eat. We don't get many feral cats out our way.

Has anyone read the book The World Without Us? Nice chapter on cats gone wild.

My neighbor did the same thing.  He wanted the cats around to keep the mouse population down so he also sups their diet with dry food so they do stick around his place.  This beats others that don’t get the cats fixed, have multiple litters nonstop, half that are sick, suffer and then die before they can mouse anyway...Gawd!!!  >:( 
My dog won’t tolerate stray cats so it’s up to the snakes to keep the mice down around my place.

The chickens eat them around here.
