More hair, less suit, but generally accurate in regards to Nemo!

Not unless they aren't a nuisance, only hunt varmints and don't **** anywhere but since they're cats, they are predisposed to being a nuisance.

Years ago a when I lived in western Iowa, there was a feral cat problem in the my neighborhood Where I lived. My neighbor used to leave a can of tuna mixed with antifreeze on his deck and the next day it would always be gone. Over time the number of cats slowly dwindled.

the tuna is unnecessary according to my neighbor.

Forcing a cat to be inside is fine but it's not a cat anymore. I don't declaw mine, but I do limit their outsider freedom.

I like them when they just travel through. They keep the chipmunk population down. Scare the crap out of me though when I go outside to pee at night and it’s just sitting there in my back steps.

You know they make toilets, right?

As a guy who lives, works and recreates in the west, BLM has always been Bureau of Land Management.
Living in Iowa my whole life I had never even heard of BLM land until I worked at the ISU geology camp in Wyoming. The idea that there was land of so little value that no one but the government wanted to own it just didn't compute.

Come on people get a grip. Someone planted a fern somewhere in the neighborhood and now it’s taking over my back yard. Should plants be kept indoors? It’s nature. Deal with it.

Roundup or 2-4D should eliminate that for you.
