Background:
We live in a semirural area that is a dumping ground for unwanted cats and dogs.
I don't like cats. so naturally the neighbors cat has kittens in my backyard.
My wife finds them and keeps an eye on them, she loves any animal.
She's made a fenced area in the corner where our dogs can't get to the kittens and the momma cat can come and go as she pleases.
Just now she calls me out of the house, seems the dogs are trying to get an older tomcat in a tree in our yard. She wants me to kill it, very, very unlike her.
Damn thing was killing the kittens. Got two of the three. It makes matters worse that I missed, the dogs didn't get him when he leaped out of the tree either.
I'm now free to start shooting /trapping strays.
She said she prefers trapping them and sending them to the county shelter but she wants them gone.
She also wants me to leave the silenced 22 out where she can get it on short notice.
I'm thinking maybe she's pissed.
Edit wife is a very good shot with anything, so I'm leaving the 22 out or she'll use her CZ75 and rile up out neighbors.
