This is the hot cat topic in the blogosphere right now.

Sometimes I am reminded that the savagery of my fellow humans isn't kept at bay. Example: Cat hunting. People who find feral cats a "nuances" want to be able to shoot them.

"CHICAGO (Reuters) - Thousands of Wisconsin residents voted in support of a proposal that would allow hunters to shoot and kill feral cats, state officials said on Tuesday.

But state legislators must first pass a law before any sportsmen can take aim at tabbies, tomcats or calicoes running wild in the North Woods. Feral cat hunting was proposed by La Crosse, Wisconsin, citizen Mark Smith, but a state advisory panel must decide whether it should even be considered by the lawmakers.

The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources said an advisory poll conducted in all of the state's counties Monday evening found 6,380 residents in favor and 5,201 opposed to declaring domestic cats gone wild an "unprotected species" and open to being shot by licensed small arms hunters -- just like skunks and raccoons.
