That's all? Surely there is more ;) I grew up around cats but since I've been doing wildlife rescue and have had to patch up the animals they wound, not such a fan
I think I'm a responsible cat owner. Here she is, Bella, my beautiful girl:

She's desexed, microchipped (I refuse to register her since I don't think the council needs to know about my pets) and kept indoors. She's actually quite timid and only ventures out onto the back patio (which is totally fenced in with 7ft palings) if I'm out there watering my potplants or hanging washing. If I walk back in, she gallops in after me. My sister and I have been wildlife carers for many years so I am glad she doesnt hunt. She sleeps beside my pillow at night. She satisfies her occasional hunting urge by dragging my work socks and underwear out of the laundry and "killing" them in the lounge room. In my last unit, she would leave items at the front door and trailed up the stairs. Embarressing when visitors pop over - the place looked like a D-grade porno scene:eek . When I rescued an emaciated Rainbow lorikeet a few months back, she showed no interest in it at all. Totally ignored it. The two things she cant resist are flies and her own tail. She chases it round and round in circles in the kitchen and when laying down with me, she keeps stamping on her paw on her tail - apparently it twitches without her permission:confused: She is actually very good at catching flies. She stamps on those too.
But it annoys me when I have other people's undesexed tom cats spraying all over MY place at night, attacking the creatures in MY garden and roaming willy-nilly across MY property

Sheep....... Stupidest creature on earth ! I love lamb though;)
Do you work with sheep? I worked in shearing sheds/farms when I was younger... To say they are stupid is an insult to stupid people! They are so dumb I have seen them break their own necks trying to escape from their pens!

A lot of mine have been covered above, but I still have more:

People in malls who stand in groups and talk to friends in the middle of the walk space

Whole families who walk through malls side by side, usually at a stroll.

Drivers who slow down and brake before getting into a turning lane

Drivers who drive well below the speed limit and stay in the top lane

Drivers who leave 4 or 5 car spaces between cars when going through a turn light

Slow drivers who speed up when it comes to double lanes.

All 4WD drivers - they either barge their way through traffic or lumber along ingnorant of all around

Toyota Camry drivers - they have now replaced Volvo drivers as the scourge of the roads

I'm not against the odd bit of rage though I usually restrict myself to shaking my head and quietly mumbling something about how the person can't drive. That said, I absolutely went off at a bloke who drove across a crossing in front of a supermarket a few weeks ago while I was on the crossing holding my 1 year old son. He parked and walked towards the supermarket while I was waiting for my fiance to get a trolley and I let fly and was very tempted to take a swing at him.

where do you think taxidermists get the spare hair for touch up jobs, also like cat hair hats nd crap.
But it all depends on colour of the pelt and size, also who you sell it to.

One thing that pisses me off is aquarium owners who dont give a rats about their fish. Picked up a fighter for my sister today and the guy put it in a bag with barely 1cm of water in it, so barely enough room for the fish. also it wasnt even water from the fighters tank, he just scooped it up and plonked it in.
Man thats what realy pissed me off
