My dad trapped his neighbor's cat
I called my mom today to chat a bit. She told me that for the past few weeks the neighbor's cat has been getting into my dad's garden (which is his pride and joy) and digging up everything. Apparently he's been pretty pissed. So he warned the neighbor that she better keep track of it, or he'd do something. She must have thought he was bluffing, which means she doesn't know my Pop very well.
So he put a cage in the garden and put a can of tuna fish in it. A couple of days later, the stupid cat came around again and got caught. My dad put the cage in the car with the cat in it, drove it out to McCammon, ID (about 25 miles away) and let it go in a field. Apparently he did show some compassion, and made sure there was a house close by. My mom said this neighbor used to always come over and talk to my dad because he's always out working in the yard, but she hasn't come over in a few days. She probably figures he killed the stupid thing. I got a pretty good laugh from the story, it pretty much sums up my dad. He doesn't screw around. |

My hillybilly cousins lived in McCammon. It's where, as a ten-year-old boy, I viewed my first girly magazines. A special place.

25 miles?
Mark my words. That cat will be back in the garden before the week is out.

I hope your dad realizes that paybacks are hell.
And yes there will be payback. To many people, their animals are like their children. |

Oh I agree. When someone uproots his Daffodil bulbs and leaves a note that says "This one's for Fluffy", he'll know what time it is.

Is baiting a cat with tuna considered legal entrapment? I'm going to give your dad the benefit of the doubt and assume this was a semi-feral "outdoor" cat. Otherwise he might as well of just killed it. |

Yeah, that's what I'm saying Hyrum. His dad could actually be killed or maimed if he did this to the wrong person. If he gets killed, I will shed tears for a few seconds, and then whistle and move on with my life.
If he does this to someone's pet, I imagine this is only the tip of the iceberg. |
