I'm ashamed to say that, regarding this topic, I was thinking
along the same lines.

Except that I was thinking more of the use of shotgun pellets
fired into a tree to persuade the cat to either shuddap, get down
or die.

I figured that the latter choice would be nothing more than a
good beginning.

Sorry.  I've just been annoyed by our cat, for the past coupla
months.

Could I interest anybody in a fine pair of warm homemade gloves?
