Yeah, I know I was just joking... I used to clean my tomcat's ears with
Qtips, he didn't like that much either. We rubbed noses, of course (that's
how cats greet each other, probably he thought I was some kind of a large
hairless cat). Sometimes he tried to groom me, then on second thought
stopped, realizing I had no fur. When its owner goes to work, the cat thinks
you go hunting, because there is always plenty of food.

When I go to work hunting I'm shooting feral cats. Got 3 more this week.
Lucky for them I'm a good shot. My hand-held camera skills are just as
applicable to firearms. One or two small steps and they fall over, no
suffering at all, not even time for a plaintive "mewwwww". Keep your
invasive cat species indoors where they belong and away from all indigenous
wildlife or they die. It's that simple. Everyone in this region who owns a
gun uses them for target practice--their only useful purpose.

"R Davis" is, of course, just the latest incarnation of the anti-dslr-

SNAP, Mr "Davis"...

And here's a picture of the brave cat-hunter:

Please do not respond further to the troll.
