If ANY of the cats you kill are someone's pet, you should die a painful death. That would be like killing their child. Many pets are child -substitutes.

Three stunningly retarded comments in a row! Yup, still a retard.
One of my neighbors had your attitude. She trapped and had killed a cat that made a smell in her yard. And she KNEW who it belonged to.
The cat was owned by an 8 year old boy. His mother abandoned him at 2, and he lived with his father who had cancer. There was no other family, except for his father's step-sister.
His dad drove a cab when he was well enough. They lived in a tiny basement apartment in an old row house. They were dirt poor. The only thing that boy had in life was that cat.
He cried and cried for weeks when that cat went missing. When he found out it had been trapped and killed...it destroyed him. I could see his personality change - overnight.
When he was 13, his father died. He was sent to live with the aunt who didn't want him.
He went on a downward spiral after that cat was killed. That cat was his only comfort...for dealing with the stress of a dying father. It loved him, and he loved that cat. He had it for several years. Of course his father's death was a major part of it...but that cat the only comfort that child had. And that bitch took it away from him...because the smell annoyed her.
I hated that bitch from that day forward, and would do everything I could to annoy her. She lived on one side of me, and the boy lived on the other side. Being in the middle...I saw it all. I tried to do what I could to help him. His name was Gil.
