Put in earplugs and go to sleep.

SOMEBODY will come and kill him for you.



Reminds me of a day in 1976, I was 12 at the time and practicing my baitcasting skills in the apartment courtyard when a black and white cat came out of nowhere and snagged the spinnerbait on a quick retrieve. Once it felt the barb it flat hauled ass stripping the Abu 5000 of 30# mono with the finale, a loud crack that sounded like a bullwhip.

My neighbor downstairs called me a few days later to come down and "help remove a hook from a cat"...the cat was on the bathroom sink, wrapped in a towel with the spinnerbait hooked through the web of one paw and the skin of the neck.

Once my neighbor clipped the hook and the paw was free all hell broke loose with a man, a boy and one pissed off cat in a locked 4x6 bathroom....a very bad day for the man and the cat.
