POLISH GOVERNMENT FINALLY TELLING THE TRUTH ABOUT CATS

 By Bob Walsh



The Polish Academy of Sciences has a list of species of animals declared to be alien, invasive species.  There was zero controversy of any kind about the first 1,786 species on the list.  They have just listed domestic cats and species 1,787.  Cat lovers went 5150 over the designation.  Wild bird fanciers were thrilled.

Personally I have always though that cats were useful.  Archers need something to use for practice for hitting moving targets.  They also make good tacos.  (It is believed that the phrase "not room enough to swing a cat" comes from the ancient practice of using a sack-full of wild cats hanging from a branch as a target for archery practice.  The phrase in fact pre-dates the use of the "cat of 9-tails" for flogging by a couple of hundred years.

As a kid we always had an old Tom Cat that lived under the back steps. No vermin around except what he would drag up to show us.
