Don, how many times have you given me the same advice?
Feeling like this day will ultimately bring some good news. By this time tomorrow we'll be able to discuss the Cats' next season with some clarity. The worst part of the year is ending - from the NCAA tournament until the wretched NBA draft process is done with us -- and one of the good parts is beginning - naked optimism toward next year.
Morning folks seventy three and rainy here.
Ymmot, I hope that you get to stay around.

- Good Morning, D-Leagueanites.
- 75º in Johns Creek. Sun's out. Rained all night.
- Lola got a bath thia morning. QB said Lola's conduct was just terrible.
- Barred owl prowling.
- Deck is dry. Sunshine makes the difference.
- No news.
- Be safe.
- Carry on.
OK.
My wife sent me a text this morning to tell me that something ate one of the little kittens out back. He was the runt of the litter but he had gusto. She thinks it must have been one of the raccoons who live back there and now she wants me to kill them.
I've told her that if we're going to feed cats then we have to feed anything else that happens by as well. I guess I'll find out this afternoon what I'll be doing next.
I,m starved. Even after a big breakfast this morning. Wonder if Don has an extra 3 or 4 sausage biscuits from JR’s?
Could have been a raccoon. That's very, very possible. Raccoons love pet food handouts and being omnivores will eat almost anything including small pets. My experience is that free range kittens are usually killed by 1st - feral tom cats, 2nd - coyotes, and 3rd - owls. One solution could be a well socialized puppy. As it would naturally defend it's extended (including your cats) pack as a mature canine and raccoons are scared of them.
My choice today (subject to change) would be an Aussie. Smart, tough, loyal and playful.
My son up the road had fits with Raccoons. He trapped them in a cage. The first one he caught he moved it two miles out toward Sherperdsville and it was back the next day. He then started taking them to Indiana. He finally relocated the whole clan.
Good to see you are still hear. I would sure miss you.
I am confident and if not he knows where they are made!
One of my farmer neighbors has four Aussie shepards. They are the best trained dogs on earth. They ride around in the back of his pickup truck and will not get out until he gives them the command. Then he whistles and points back to the truck and up they jump. Wonderful dogs and very lovable.Could have been a raccoon. That's very, very possible.

He said don't get one unless you plan on giving them a lot of attention as they bond so strongly.
Sorry, no. Just got one. It gone.
My dear 92 year old Uncle had a Border Collie to help him guide his herd. When he could no longer manage his herd he sold all of them. That poor dog was so bored and missed its job so much. He herded my Aunt's cats. It was funny.

Welcome to you.
Thanks Don father. It has been a while. An old shipmate sent me this. Thought you guys and Bev would get a kick out of it.
Had a chow mix many years back at my old house that was just tough as nails. He had gotten in to fights with two different pits about a month apart and beat them had them running away. Well, one night I heard him fence fighting with the neighbors dog (which they did a lot) and normally he comes in afterwards all tuckered out. This time he did not come back in so, I went out with a flashlight to see what was up. I found him by the house lying down and covered with blood. I quickly looked around to see what it was he was fighting with when I found this dead full grown male raccoon. I then expected to find him all cut up and bleeding badly. Took him in the house, put him in the tub to clean him up and find the gashes. After cleaning all of the blood off, I found a few cuts and nicks but no big openings. Needless to say I was relieved because he was the house protector and a very good dog. He loved my daughter from the time she was born and he let her do anything she wanted to him and never growled or even looked as if he was going to hurt her. Very trusting dog too. I would pick him up, put him upside down on his back on my shoulder and he just lay there with me walking around with him like that.
Dale Hollow Bald Eagle fledge (DH5) - threw a hissy little while ago. And is presently still demanding attention from River (mom) Amazing technology use.
Live Dale Hollow Linky That noisy fan needs to go but I'm hooked of the vocals. DH5 likes being fed. Talk about spoiled brat. Still I find the mute necessary at times. Camera 2 has a nice nest perspective.

What makes me think it wasn't the coons is that they live under my workshop and the cats go under there as well. These kittens were born out there and stayed until their mother brought them up to the house for food.Could have been a raccoon. That's very, very possible.

I'm thinking it was something else and I don't want to kill the coons for someone else's crime.
Parts of him were out in back of the house and off to the side. Wouldn't an owl snatch him up and take him somewhere else to eat him?
Hey y'all. I was mowing last week and shut the gate to the chicken pen so I could get close to the door. Forgot to open it back up. So the chickens stayed out all night. Next morning feathers everywhere. One missing and the other so badly injured I had to put her down. Either coons or coyotes as we have several of both.
One night while hunting with my granddaddy, saw a coon whip 4 dogs and slowly walk away. Never forget how slowly he walked away. Big dude. Dogs bleeding bad. FCC.

Lol you beat me to it
Aerial predators often have a favorite feeding perch "block" where they butcher their prey prior to ingestion. These can be identified by casting remains of undigested bones & hair lying about. The young coons are heavy suspects. Spring creates lots of young animals. Coons are clever, resourceful, competitive, and hungry. In a young coons life the earliest lesson is eat or eaten. and most certainly haven't learned the complexity of living with large pink apes that evolved wearing the hides of another animal.
Scattered scraps signals immature competition for the food. Local mustelids (weasels)? They'd certainly welcome the opportunity of a feline feast.

Looking more like the coons are guilty. She said whatever got him was under my grill table. That's where she found a leg and some other part.Aerial predators often have a favorite feeding perch "block" where they butcher their prey prior to ingestion.

I think it's illegal for me to kill a coon here in the city but I don't know for sure. That may be my next out. She's pissed off.
edit: KRS 150.170 says I can kill them if they are destroying property. Are the kittens property? Also says I have to report it to the conservation officer within 24 hours. Don't want to have to explain.

I was hoping WG would stay
But I wish him all the best

Hate to see him go. His three point shooting could have made things a lot more interesting this year. Good luck to him.
Good luck WG! Now come on down Travis. JV stick around.
I think he's going to be a monster in the paint next year. Good decision by the young man.
Are the kittens property?
Yes, Livestock.OK they're pets(pests) too?
I have to report it to the conservation officer within 24 hours.Good, photograph document to evidence coons, contact officer, acquire tomahawk live trap, remove nuisance animals. Give them to do-gooders or wild release. Yeah, I know they've got too much air. Spare me. Keep the tomahawk. Tool you need for humane capture and removal of nuisance cats and raccoons. You'll be right popular real quick. Sliding door on rear of trap allows easy baiting. Can of tuna works. Spring loaded access drops drops safely trapping the animal inside. I insert access drop door into a restrained burlap bag releasing animal into bag. Tie off bag and place wild animal bag and all into proper transport crate. Nothing injured.
Don't want to have to explain.Take charge and do it right.
Now they are saying that it was fake news. Sorry.
