Damn cat just tried to catch a bird on my porch!!!!
I like cats just fine--I am horribly allergic, but we used to have cats before the allergies kicked in--but I do not like cats that are obviously too cared-for to be strays, wandering my neighborhood all the freaking time** and trying to eat my birds! My son likes the birds, and due to his parents' combined allergies, they're as close to pets as he's going to get for a while!
Plus, along with my crankiness at unleashed dogs running around the neighborhood, I am cranky at the cats because there are a lot of people with large trucks living out here, and they like to drive very fast down these roads, and I like cats and dogs and don't want them killed. For a variety of reasons, some noble, some not.
**Every pet gets loose at some point, but you don't have to let them make a habit of it, people!
