Rot! I cleaned your plow on this issue and your ad hominem, non-substantive insulting reply is ample testimony to that.

Oh please. Do you really think you "cleaned ANYONE'S plow" on this issue? ALL you have done is make a thread about how you love to kill cats, and to try to cast one little bit of light on yourself, which it didn't, you gave some half-***** little spiel on how they kill birds. Ho hum, cats kill birds. Who'd have thunk it! I WISH the ferals around here would kill even more of them. I can't remember very many times they've caught and killed a bird. Maybe if the entire neighborhood would stop feeding them so well they might be inclined to do just that.

You just didn't look closely enough at your plow to see how it glitters and gleams.
By the way, more than 30 of the human diseases transmitted by birds are transmitted by pigeons, an exotic invasive bird species:
"Feral pigeons (Columbia livia) are not harmless birds. Many potential infections of
humans silently exist in pigeons which are not apparent. They have the potential for
transmission of over 30 diseases to humans plus another ten to domestic animals."

You can "ho-hum" all you wish about cats killing birds. The cold hard fact is that cats do kill many birds of desirable native species and they do so because irresponsible human beings allow them to roam free to do their murderous work. Cats kill a fair proportion of the birds they kill without eating them, a tawdry business and wasteful as well.
A little chrome polish applied with a Brillo pad from time to time will keep that plow spotless and shiny.
