Yup!
Several years ago, at Wally World’s self-checkout, I had to have an employee intervene in order for me to buy a bottle of Marvel Mystery Oil.
The funniest thing he did was we had a Rooster that kept coming up on the back deck (different house and had his cable long enough the he could almost touch the back door) and picking at his food, well he would just lay there watching the Rooster, one morning I went to feed him and whatnot and the deck was full of feathers and 2 skinny legs and feet, he ate everything but the legs/feet and feathers… 
@davesmopar I’m not sure how funny that story about the rooster was😐
What if that had happened to one of your cats? Or a neighbor’s cat?
I doubt you’d be laughing about that🤔
With all do respect, a pet cat and a wild Rooster are two different things… He ate many wild rabbits, squirrels, basically if it came in his yard/area it was game on… It’s all nature…
My brother has chickens for eggs and eventually to eat, he has them in a double pin that is reinforced to keep his Pitty from eating the chickens, if his dog ever gets to the chickens, he will kill everyone of them and eat them as well… He also shot a rabbit in his back yard (legal to shoot in his area) to eat… It’s all a part of life…
We let him roam unless we were ar school and soup bones on the neighbors back porch disappeared. Took a bite of boat trailer wiring and the coffee table we’d left on the deck while cleaning carpets.
While mom was telling him to sit I peeked under the table and said he is, just that tall. Our lab-cocker spaniel mix was 2/3 size his whole life. We had a pack of friendly dogs in our yard when we got home
Reminds me of George Orwell animal house. All animals are equal but some are more equal than others. Of course he was taliking about Stalin.
At any rate I was about ten and decided I wanted a squirrel for a pet. We stored walnuts in the garage attic . So in July I put my parka and mittens on, grabbed the fish net and waited for the squirrel to go in the garage. I crept in with my flashlight, shut th3 door, and got him in the fish net. Stupidous thing I ever did. That thing went absolutely wild, jumping, hissing, biting, for dear life. Somehow I got him out of the net, opened the door and went in the house. Bad bad idea. Those things are wild.7
First house we bought, the family that lived there raised rabbits. The lawn was incredibly green and lush!
My brothers Pitt chewed a hole in one of the tires in his old truck…
Luckily our current Pitts only chew on their toys, but one of the Pitts we had before would eat blankets, she would grab them off the couch and drag them off and eat them, she also ate the cushion from the couch, we had a few Pitts that would eat anything like toys, we had a very colorful front yard at times where they did their business…

Years ago in the early '80s, my 10-year old son also decided he too wanted a pet squirrel… But he did not have a fishing net, but from his cartoon watching, he remembered that if you have a box and you hold it up with a stick with a string attached you can pull the stick out and the box will fall down and capture the squirrel… Not having a suitable box, he went into my shop and dumped out the storage case for my circular saw. He propped the lid open and put a peanut butter sandwich in it…
A squirrel did fall victim to his little scheme and he trapped it in there until I got home… He was so proud of himself and wanted me to go to the store and get a cage for the squirrel…
When I went to inspect the “squirrel trap” I could hear that squirrel ripping the case apart and it was jumping all over inside…
I convinced my son that a squirrel would not make a good pet as they are too active and it would be unfair to the squirrel who might also have a family to go home too.
So we opened the case and let it out… It ran so fast that it probably left the state.
But I still have that storage case and you can see that it would not have lasted much longer before that squirrel tore it’s way out…
