Honey, can you start the car for me this morning?

I'm just not feeling up to it......

They're gorgeous animals, but I'd much rather have deer near the house. Deer are just big vermin, those cats can get territorial and really mean.

Three?

That's an unusal number for solitary predators.

I'd probably fire a warning shot into the ground to try to scare them off, wait 10 minutes, and repeat until it was time to go...

You also might consider investing in a remote starter.

870 Remmington with RUBBER bullets would be my answer.

Teach them that it's not the best place to hang around.

They are pretty animals but I don't want them around me or my property at all.

Feeding them will only encourage them to return.

Yeah, you're right...with a ready food source like that you'd never get rid of this damn Yorkie.

last year, up at frasier park..friend and i went to investigate a black blob moving thru the trees. it was a black bear, and i buddy wanted to put an arrow into it badly. on the way out, we noticed HUGE cat tracks on TOP of our footprints! i had a knife, he had a bow/arrow. we were woefully under-armed. we doubled timed it back to the truck...the truck had a flat tire! we were like a nascar team changing that thing, with the sun coming down. that cat tracked us...it was probably investigating the two tree like things moving thru the forest..hahaha.
