| Cool. I was just curious because as far as I know, I'm the only person with an all brown cat. I didn't know such a thing existed. _________________ "The cat is the most ruthless, most terrifying of animals." - Spock in the "Catspaw" episode of ToS Season 2.

| Alright you cat lovers. Here's the only girl for me! Got her when I was 14 or so and she was my pet until I was 28. Sweet intelligent Beagle/Border Collie Mix...her name was Angel. That used to be my Dad's chair but Angel took it over and it was hers for a good decade. Posing for the camera out on a walk My cousin's dog (can anyone tell the T-shirt I'm wearing?) Angel's favorite part of Christmas was destroying all the wrapping. Snow Dog Is Victorious!! (By-Tor is nowhere to be seen!!) | |

| Angel seems like she was an awesome dog. I always have a hard time looking at old pictures of dogs. It sucks that dogs only live 15 years at the most but rednecks live forever. |

| You haven spoken so true. It was hard looking at these, but since I came across them I figured I'd share. It'll be 6 years in August already that she's gone! Seems impossible! | |

| Oh, and to Mortuary: The brown cat is female and I named her Godiva (like the chocolate). Got her from a rescue group run by a guy I work with. She was rescued from an illegal breeder and had spent the first year and a half of her life in a cage. To this day, she can be really skittish but also really affectionate. Only cat I've ever had that runs to greet me when I come home. _________________ "The cat is the most ruthless, most terrifying of animals." - Spock in the "Catspaw" episode of ToS Season 2.

| ANIMAL LOVERS/ANTI-HUNTERS!!! CLOSE YOUR EYES!!!! YOU'VE BEEN WARNED!! I'm an animal lover but not a pest/varmint lover! This is mostly for T-ROY and other hunters/shooters.
Story time. I've never been a big hunter. My Dad was but I never got into big game. The older I got the more I loved the beauty of the animals. You do it and eat it? Cool, no problem . I have one exception as just about every gun toter in Ohio, Pennsylvania and (T-Roy help me) I assume Indiana has - groundhogs. They are a MENACE and farmers WANT you to come shoot them. My Dad and I obliged! Many of my fondest memories are "walkin' the tracks" with my Dad as a kid and young adult. Even if we didn't see any and just shot cans, it was great.
This was THE SHOT OF MY LIFE!! Usually my groundhogs were in the 20-80 yard range. I always used an open site .22 so anything further was a prayer. However, earlier that day or week I'd just sited my .22 in at 100 yards. It was both low and to the left 4" @ 100 yards. LOL, I couldn't remember how to adjust the sites and didn't want to screw it up so I just made a mental note of that!
Well, that Summer I was a Youth Minister at my Aunt's church and I was not late but running tight that night for Wed. Youth Group. I had the Church Van and needed to pick up the kids. As I was heading out I see this groundhog WAY out there at what seemed like a little under 200 yards. Having hunted them all Summer and loving football I'd go by football field lengths and had that down fairly close. Well, on a whim I run in and grab my .22. I think "what the heck". I make noise, whistle...something to get it to stand up like they do to see the predator better. I'd remembered my sighting-in the other day so I aim for a spot 7" high and to the right to compensate. I know this is "hail Mary" but like I said, "what the heck". I rest on a small antenna tower, exhale and squeeze. I see a cloud of dust puff behind the groundhog and it ducks at the same time. "Darn" I missed. Oh, well. I don't have time to go see so I run the .22 into the house and go off to Youth Group.
That night I get home and since it's dead - Summer I still have lots of daylight. I decide to go look. LOW AND BEHOLD what do I find. I find him as he lay right there right NEXT to his hole. If you look at that sort of dark area behind him in the high green grass that's his hole. Right between his ears, literally. He hadn't ducked, he just fell where he stood. The bullet went through his head and made the cloud of dust as it did. THE SHOT of my life. Under normal circumstances I don't even take that shot but I was feeling good because of the sighting. I KNOW lots of luck was involved. Everything had to be perfect, but that day it was!! I decide to pace it off. I get 175 paces. My pace is roughly 1 yard give or take and this was up a slight hill (which I made sure to stride longer to compensate) so I'm figuring 150-175 yards. Unbelievable. I have NO witnesses so I run and get my camera and take this shot.
Years later looking at this picture he looks so peaceful and I wonder, but then I remind myself that these things destroy livestock, tractors, crops and sometimes even human legs and ankles. I don't feel so bad then.
I'm no hunter, but that's my one great shot. The last time I was home for a trip in 02 I borrowed my Uncle's rifle with a scope. I never felt right using a scope. WELL, after popping a few of these when I wouldn't even be able to see them I changed my tune. It still felt like cheating and dirty, but it was fun!!
However, I always loved the open-site hunting because these guys are VERY wary and you have to be ultra patient and sneek up on them or wait them out and they can literally see you a mile away or smell you before you can see them.
O.K., story over. You anti-hunters I warned you not to look. Please don't pick a fight, you'll get no reaction from me.

Yeah, it was good times. We bought her thinking she was a Beagle and we were gonna use her for hunting. Ha! The $10 Dad paid should have been the first clue. As a puppy she still looked Beagle-ish but she was afraid of loud noises! Guns made her run! One time she chased down a field mouse and had it exhausted and cornered to where it turned and offered to fight. Angel backed off and did this pretend "circling dance of aggression" but never came within 3 feet of that mouse again!! She was a great, loving dog though. She listened well and besides a few trash incidents and rolling on dead/smelly things in her youth was a near perfect companion. | |

| Cats are cool and I've always had one but a dog commits itself to you. Scott-I understand about shooting varmits. My uncle would pay me to shoot rats on his dairy farm, suckers were as big as cats sometimes, but I always felt a twinge. |

| Yeah, I used to shoot birds as a kid just for practice and with my sling shot because that was much harder and thus more fun. But one day I just felt bad. I couldn't even say it was for a good cause. Just random killing. I stopped with the birds that day. I'm a softy as I age. Now I apologize to spiders in the house when I squish them. I'd leave them but Momma and the girls don't care for them in the house. If it's a particularly beautiful or big one I try and scoop it and throw it outside. | |

Generally I am a pacifist, but I truly believe these people deserve the exact same treatment that they dole out. I am saying that nicely, because I don't need any of these posts to come back and bite me. |

I'm surprised I got him as young as he was. When he was a kitten. | |

It's cool you adopted a black cat. Usually, black cats end up being euthanized because people still have that stupid bad luck myth in their heads. Like the name too. "Bub". That's like my brother who named one of his cats after a movie monster. "Gojira". _________________ "The cat is the most ruthless, most terrifying of animals." - Spock in the "Catspaw" episode of ToS Season 2.
