There Would Be Carnage In The Streets ...

I hadn't heard of this being mentioned before, and if they had attempted to kill all domestic cats there would be riots and uprisings all over the place.

Prime minister Larry would not have been impressed

They wouldn't have recognised mine as a cat, with her face mask on.

[Prudie]

This is true, I wouldn't have admitted it on here. Being called a granny killer isn't my idea of chatter and nonsense.

[Hopkirk]

Naomi, how did they test the cats? Did the little moggies stick cotton buds up their noses?

[naomi24]

No idea, Hopkirk - but many cats were infected which is why, I presume, the suggestion was discussed.

[gness]

If they had wanted to limit the spread of the disease they should have considered testing those being sent to care homes from hospital.

[Hopkirk]

There weren't enough tests available at the time Gness. They were like gold dust.

[gness]

Really, Naomi. Not about looking at ways to limit the spread at ways of Covid...culling cats being one way?

Should Pasta not have mentioned dogs or is it just me you like to have your little digs at?

Over to you as usual.

Actual footage from the meeting this was discussed:

TTT, ^take note.

As awful as it would be, if animals were spreading disease to the degree that thousands of people were dying, I would support culling. Naomi gets her tin hat on.

Well, I thought I’d have a wee look at AB. Same old same old. I’ll meet G for a coffee ;-)

[ClareTG0ld]

Thanks, any chance you could zap it please, Naomi?

I tend to agree that you have to consider these sorts of drastic measure. Although, to be honest, by the point it comes to culling all the cats, I'd have thought it's already too late to make a meaningful difference.

[naomi24]

Done.
