THE CONTINUING ASSAULT ON OUR FUNDAMENTAL RIGHTS
Man Gets Ticket For Yelling At Cat
Good enough for us: His defense to officers was that he is “human.”

Get a rope!

If you're mean to a cat they will never forget. If they upset this fella that much he shouldn't have a cat. Never heard of giving a person a ticket for yelling at a cat though.

"Officer, you misunderstand. I wasn't saying he was a d@mned pu$$y...I was saying I wanted some...I'm only human. "

Goodness knows I get aggravated with my cat. She's loving and beautiful, but she p!$$es in the corner sometimes (not her litterbox) and thinks all food belongs to her once your back is turned. Since it's pointless, I don't, however, yell at her. Usually.

He wouldn't have gotten a ticket fer yellin' if he'd've merely had a little "Cat Trap" in the back yard ...
Y'know ...
"PULL"
'MEOWRRRRR' ...
"BLAM!"

What a cat-astrophe.

Man I would be in federal prison for how I yell at my dogs. Of course, they just ignore me.
Me YELLING: "Damit (that's what my dog's answer to now), you ate the sofa cushion."
Them: "What is she yelling about? Let's go pee on that big fluffy carpet."

I'd've thought yelling at a cat would earn a Nobel Prize instead of a ticket.

As trainers say, you can get a cat to do whatever it wants to do. Yelling is of no use.

Yelling at a cat is the new spitting into the wind.
