Goodnight, Gigi!

I agree with your dad on this one. Triple s rule should apply. Shoot, shovel,shut up.

I have plenty of xray. Proof of what bbs can do to an animal. Its what I do. And also plenty of dumb owners out there not feeding (or watering) their pets.

I am not about to start arguing! If you don't like what is happening to the cat, I really cannot help that! How many times have I warned the idiot owner?! Probably about eight times, one for every dead chicken I find with their cat beside it! I have warned them! My dad is getting mad, too, and he says he is probably going to shoot the cat the next time it shows up. And he's shot the neighbor's dogs for killing chickens, so I really don't doubt it. Now, please, please, please stop bugging me about this dad gum cat!

I really do not want to see a flame war break out, if this isn't already one. This is a nice thread! It shouldn't get locked for our arguments!

Im not arguing with you. I wouldnt have known about the animal abuse if you hadnt posted about it. I am not agreeing with you. There is a difference. Disagreeing and debating are not flaming. AND there is another thread that is more suited to post your repeated shooting of a cat. I suspect you have warned the owners as many times as the cat has warned you.
AND if you think I am bugging you because Im not posting pity parties and pansies agreeing with you, then you are truly showing our age difference here.

The new babies - 8 wk Nigerian Dwarf does.

How cute

Okay I wasnt going to say a word. But I changed my mind.

My kids would all give you a different perspective on my love. Who I love best, who I care most about, who is my favorite. The truth is I love each one of them differently, but I love them all equally. I like them differently though and I like one more than another. That may make me a bad mom- but I am telling the truth.

How it seems to always go here is- I have two very difficult kids, and I have three with various problems. I have one who would do anything in the world for me, who helps out constantly, who does things without asking, who always trys to keep the peace and that is the one that I dump on the most. Why? Because that is the kid that I know will do whatever I ask. That is the kid that will not only do what I ask, but will do it without complaining and will do a good job. AND- the other two will complain, fuss,and do the job half-donkeyed, if at all. Honestly, its too much trouble to get them to do anything. An its easier to just ask the one who will. So I depend on the one more than the others. I also ride that kid harder than I do the others. Because I know that kids potential. And because that kid is really the only one who will listen to my ranting and will learn from it. The other two will cop an attitude and start a huge fight annd its just not always worth it.

Is it right? NO. However, it happens. Thats life. id still die in a second to protect all of them. I still give the same to them all- in the end. I still do my best for each one of them, and I love each one of them with my whole heart. SO, dont assume your mother hates you- chances are, she doesnt.

Bet I know which one it is too and it isn't Kayla LOL

how old are you, Chickenfan? I read your rant and it sounded exactly like something my Kayla would type...so I am going to guess that you are close to 14.

In fact, for a moment I thought maybe you WERE Kayla..except you spelled everything right so I knew I was safe.

LOL That's what I was thinking too

why? If the chickens truly mattered, he would secure his coop. Kill this cat and it will just be coons and skunk next.

If you were to ask my oldest DD, she would say we have her do too much and expect too much from her, but that's because we know her ability and potential. At the same time, my other 2 would say she never does anything and is favored. It's all in the perspective of the individual, but it doesn't change how much as parents we love our children.
I've agreed with many comments tonight, but I think it's important to realize that when a parent (stressed or otherwise) is met with opposition, attitude or the like it can cause a huge strain on those involved. You may not like what is being asked of you, you may think no one loves you and your sibling is favored, but there's really no point in being defiant. It only causes loads of grief and eventually resentment which is not where you want to go. I've recently just completed a group with my DD that was all about this so I have a fair understanding on what's going on with this. Stop blaming everyone and work to realize where you could improve and accept your own faults. My DD did it and so did I and even though we still have issues from time to time, we know how to stop and see it from more than just our own perspectives. There's a saying that goes 'walk a mile in my shoes'. Try it, you might just be surprised at what you find out.

Please, just drop it. I haven't hit it again ever since, in a different thread, someone else informed me of how it can injure the animal. I merely want the cat to stop killing my sweet pet hens. I used to be friends with the cat till it bit me. It's name is Iddy-Biddy. I just saw the cat yesterday with it's owners and I (very, very, cautiously) pet it on the head. It has no injuries, and ever since I learned from other people's posts that BB guns can injure cats, I have been very patient and simply chase the cat off. And keep my dad from applying the triple-s rule.
