I want your cat. I have serious rabbit problems. I'll give her a 401k plan,
unlimited nap time, and $5.00 for every rabbit she brings me. She can have
the head - I'll butcher the rest, assuming she delivers it fresh, not two
days old.

There's also a bonus situation available if she can take out other types of
pests. $10 for any dog, plus an extra $5 on top of that for little tiny dogs
just because they're utterly stupid looking. $50.00 if she can leap onto a
motorcycle and rip out the driver's throat. Someone in my neighborhood has a
bike with loud pipes.

Finally, the cat's welcome on my boat any time. Naturally, she can have lots
of fish, if any are caught. Have her e-mail me if interested.

See if you can track down the owner of the bike, then stuff either a
potato or a hard boiled egg deep into the tailpipe. ;-)

That's what they do, feral cats, even a lot of 'non-feral' ones (I hesitate
to say 'tame' or even 'domesticated').

oh well!

My BIL built a potato gun. He showed it off at his annual picnic.
Good thing he has a lot of acres, but he still scared the cows in the
lower pasture when the taters landed near them.

A friend of DH's built these potato guns for an outing of theirs - you
know that male bonding time where women are left home. You'd think he'd
know better given he's a police officer! When DH told me about their
shannigans I just about split my gut laughing.

On a similar note at a county fair they were selling something similar
except for shooting mini marshmellows. The kids loved them. The
schools banned them and I think the parents were not really thinking if
they bought them for their kids. You had to lick the marshmellow then
stick it in the shooter and blow hard. The wet marshmellow would stick
to anything!

My favorite marshmallows are stale peeps. ;-)
The crunchier, the better. They are especially good in hot cocoa.
