First off, I, among others in this group, do not hate cats.  I love
them.  However this is hardly the group in which to expect cat fan
clubs.

And when we try to we get sick jokes hurled at us.  Or at least I do.
The rest are probably too smart to bother even trying.

You wouldn't be insinuating that people who love birds and don't like
cats mauling them aren't intelligent, would you?

Like I suggested before, this is rec.birds.  The people here are
concerned about keeping cats OUT of THEIR yards.  Experts on methods
to safely keep YOUR cat IN YOUR yard are to be found in abundance in
rec.pets .  Why don't you ask some of them?

Or don't you really want to know?

>Cats are good!

As are birds. 

Still waiting for that apology.

If this discussion MUST continue in this vein, maybe it should mosey
on over to alt.flame and do the rec.bird crowd a BIG favor.  Just an idea.
