There is some truth to that for sure. I don't mind or hate them, grew up with a bunch at the farm, and recall a few that were unique, one that I tamed at about the same age, who turned out to be really something until a car got him and he had to be put down, that stung a little, no different than a dog.

I can do without litter boxes and cat urine stench, a place I frequent, soon as you get to the entrance of the house at this farm, the cat urine smell is over bearing and around here there's a tom that sprays here. I just hate that along my vegetable garden fence, more so when produce is hanging !!!! I've seen some unreal mousers here at times,all live inside too! One was here for 10 or more years, he finally must have bitten the dust last winter, all black, short hair, and I have seen him all over this 98 and surrounding acres, he used to sneak up behind my stand during hunting. Coyotes never seem to get any of these either as many of the same one were around, but last years harsh winter, only one I see left, that darned neighbors Tom!!!!!! Orange nasty one too.

Sometimes I don't get why people have the ones that literally don't do anything, eat sleep and the rest, neighbor has one that is afraid of everyone, hides all the time, that I don't get at all.

To the poster: you can tame them, or lets say its possible, you have to take your time. The one I did, I was more aggressive, I captured him, gave him a lot of attention, literally won him over and he sure was something, those are rare from what I recall. I was in high school living at the grandparents small farm, somehow had kittens and they were growling, snarling, hissing..... I picked one and never gave up, it seemed really noticeable when I got over the hump so to speak, he trusted me and was really nice after, but he did fight me a bit and I had no idea which way it would have went, being nice, kind/gentle but firm, seemed to do it.

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo. ... [Read Article]
