Well, it's a good suggestion, but unworkable for a
couple of reasons.

#1. My cats are outside. I'd like to keep them around.

#2. While I will kill, because I butcher, two things I
will not do is either bludgeon something to death, or
poison it. I'm sorry, but both those methods just turn
my stomach. I can cut throats, wring necks, shoot, or
almost anything else, but poisoning and bludgeoning
are beyond the pale. I don't even particularly like
killing to butcher, but I do it as part of my
responsibility, to accept responsibility for the food
I eat. If I can't do it any more, I'll become a
vegetarian.

I was thinking of the shotgun because it's just a wee
20 guage- marginally quieter that borrowing Rob and
Margali's .44 Mag, at 3 AM....
