Cat trying out for the Olympics

Why not just go out and shoot the breeze with them as they pass?

Oh, right:

@Crease

Just to be clear, I’m not advocating violence—self-inflicted or otherwise—against a person…^[1].

@carverofchoice

just to say “Hi, what’s up!”

Maybe if you use a it would hasten the…denouement, both from the dogs and their walkers.^[2]

@carverofchoice

Sit in my front yard all day hoping I catch them walking by.

Or on your front porch, in a creaky wooden rocking chair, sipping a glass of lemonade, a coach gun loaded with rock salt leaning against the wall and easily within arm’s reach….^[3]

@carverofchoice

There are a bunch of neighbors taking it to the next step and just replacing all their grass with xeriscaping now.

I’m actually a fan of this, especially when it involves native grasses and other local vegetation.

@Antonius

We had a cat that would charge at my large Husk/Wolf mix dog when we were walking down the street.

When she was still alive and enjoying her indoor/outdoor existence, my parents’ cat would regularly chase cats twice her size and other animals from the front yard. She was adept at guarding her territory.
