More cats just what i needed.

The best cats are the ones you find in the road.

I once found a kitten someone had tossed out to die in the back alley behind my house. I drove semi's at the time and was heading out to work about 2:30 am one morning in the winter. It was about -25 C (approx -14 F) and I had just backed out of my garage and got out to close the big door when I saw some movement. In the dark, all I saw was what looked like a black ball that was shaking. Upon closer examination I saw it was a kitten about 6 weeks old. I put him in the car and took him with me on my run. He did lose part of one ear to frostbite but fortunately, that was all he lost. I ended up keeping him for a couple years and ended up giving him to a friend who gave him an excellent home for the rest of his life.

I don't know what kind of person would do that, but they had to have dropped that cat off within a couple of minutes of me walking out my backdoor because at those temps, he wouldn't have lasted 15 minutes. All I know is people like that make me very angry and if I ever caught someone doing something like that, I'd beat their head into a new shape!

There was a crow that got hit by a car a few blocks from our house. It was just kind of laying on it's back on the side of the road, trying to flap, but it was cut open pretty good and wasn't going to make it. I went up and snapped it's neck, to put him out of his misery. Those fuckers are tough. It's not like breaking the neck of say, a dove or duck, that thing was still moving, quite disappointed with my decision to put him out of his misery. Finally, a tug and a jerk got him. By that time, other crows had noticed him. I put him in a bag to dispose of him properly, but kept an eye on those crows above me, too.

I used to hunt a lot of waterfowl and upland game years back. The easy way to break a birds neck is too "wring" it. Which is to say, grab the head and spin the body around in circles until the neck snaps. While not pretty, it's certainly effective and quick. This method would work well on a tough old crow. It works great on 20+ lb Canada Geese and ducks of all sizes.
