Guess who's back, back again.

Cat ranch is back, tell a friend.

One of 5 cats my dad rounded up from somewhere to restock the cat ranch after being catless for the past year or two.

In case anyone was wondering how to properly acclimate some new farm cats you apparently lock them in the garage/workshop for the first day and feed them tons of milk/chicken so they know that building is their "home base" and then you let them loose.

He's so happy

ben ji if your dad loses these city cats, you should catch a few raccoons.  They make great pets and since they know how to get along at the cat ranch, your dad won't need to worry about them disappearing.  If he forgets to feed them they will find food, only difference is they are used to the wild and have methods of finding food, unlike the dependent cats.

Cats are natural born killers.

Also, I forgot to mention that when you capture them take them to the vet to get their rabies shots.  Raccoons tend to get rabies due to their tendency to fight with other animals which may bite them.  The shots will make them harmless and you can have fun with them just like cats.

Sorry, city cats are too rough ridin' dumb to fend for themselves, just ask ben ji what happened to the other cats his dad brought to the farm.

Still have 3 of our original 4 cats. The one that is no longer around was a huge bad person so luckily no one has missed it

My dad does not like raccoons and encourages me to blast them if I see them (I've only seen 2) because they get in the garage and eat the cats kibble....he has a very weird kill/no kill list.

Raccoons - BLAST EM
Skunks - DONT YOU DARE
Coyotes - BLAST EM
Owls - DONT YOU DARE
Possums - NEUTRAL
Badgers - BLAST EM
Snakes (including rattle snakes) - DONT YOU DARE (Unless the rattlesnake is right next to the house)

Why the hell would you murder an owl? What is wrong with you? Plus, I doubt you could.

[steve dave]

possum should be above skunk on the don't kill list. skunks get rabies a lot.

Hmmm. Where can I buy an owl?

[pissclams]

my one and only time in western kansas was spent pheasant hunting in a town between quinter and park, kansas, with some locals.

the locals shot at every single living animal that we came across including a hedgehog, an owl, and multiple other species.  they were very careful, however, to only shoot male pheasants

Yup, which is weird that they are on the DONT SHOOT list. We have 2-3 big ole horned owls that live in our windbreak and I'm pretty sure that they were the ones that cleaned out the last cat population.

I have never shot one but my dad is very concerned that I might somehow mistake it for a pheasant so he reminds me a couple of times a year not to shoot them.

Possums eat pests too

Are you talking about KS folks in general, or just guys like SD and me?

If your hunting pals are worried about shooting hens, that's nothing compared to what a Wildlife and Parks Ranger will do if he catches you shooting an owl.

I think he's saying clams and his associates are big male genitals hunters.

incredible work by western KS farmers

I want to give a shout out to a couple of true heroes! An incident happened on I-70 yesterday (Dec. 19, 2023) that led a NW Kansas farmer and his son to do extraordinary things to keep people safe in our county. A semi-truck driver traveling west on I-70, had a medical incident where he blacked out. His semi went into the median at highway speeds! Traveling in the median, it stayed between the traffic lanes for about a quarter of mile where it jumped over a crossover. This slowed the semi-truck down. The farmer and his son traveling in the same direction noticed the driver needing help, so they went into action. The semi-truck slowed down enough so they could jump onto the passenger’s side, but they found the door locked. The son riding on the semi-truck asked his dad to throw him a hammer. He then broke the window out, crawled into the semi-truck and stopped the semi-truck before it got to the overpass at exit 17. This action more than likely saved the life of the truck driver along with protecting all the other travelers on I-70 and Highway 27. It is amazing what people will do to help others they do not know. Thank you to Brent Ginther and his son Brady for your heroic actions. Our community is incredibly grateful!
