- Mike:
-
- 1. If your cat came to my house, I would then go to your house and ask you.
- Actually, I'd probably give you a call as it's cold as heck here in
- the winter.
-
- 2. If your cat came to my house, and I had already been to your house a few
- times, consider it will get a little poke it the butt from my pellet/bb
- gun. It will not damage the critter. It will not even put a hole in a
- cereal box (what I use to calibrate the sights) when only pumped 1 time.
-
- 3. If your cat keeps coming to my house, consider it will soon be at the
- animal control of El Paso County, Colorado. You will then get a call
- from them. Perhaps then you will understand.
-
- This may sound cruel, but this is the way I believe it should be. It's
- called The Right To Privacy. Our neighborhood also has no solicitation
- signs too. A local neighbor, tired of being bothered by folks from the
- city selling magazines, sicked his dog on the salesman. Guess the word
- got around, haven't had any salemen this year so far!
-
- It's obvious we disagree. Different people have different views on the
- right to privacy. Where I live I expect privacy. So do my neighbors. In
- New York City I would perhaps expect otherwise.
-
- Regards.
