I need to do something about my outdoor cat population. Can't kill them, don't want to piss off my neighbors too much.

Check with your local animal control agencies and shelter operations.  Trap-Neuter-Release programs are common enough now, if there isn't one active in your area, many placeslaunch specific and targeted operations at feral cat populations.

I don't think they are feral cats. I think it's my assholes neighbors not keeping their cat inside.

The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

Marking their territory, shitting everywhere, eating my cucumbers (weird cat that one).

QuoteYou're in for a rude awakening if you think "China is not going to touch US in military terms during my life time"

Most people believe that the US will always have the better fighter planes, the better missiles, or the better tanks. In reality, we are about to be parity. They will be stronger in some aspects, we will be stronger in others.

If you don't believe me, go check out the Chinese J-20, J-31 aircraft. Their DF-41 ICBM. The Type-99 tank.

They have been catching, and fast. They already have some systems that are better than ours. They also have twice as many soldiers/sailors/airmen/marines.

My mom had a cat that liked cucumbers, too.  Probably just an odd coincidence.

Took me weeks to catch that fucker.  My office is down in the basement, and I would constantly hear him making little rodent-like noises.
