My parents own a restaurant and when I was in hs I used to feed the alley cats in the back with table scraps. They got to be pretty friendly. There was one smokey grey one that got particularly brave and even let you touch him.

I think the solution would be to have trained, state hired animal control type officers doing the killing. Then again I guess the point of letting citizens do the huting was to lower costs.

yup, i agree with that.

Hey Ben, what about those stray cats in Chinatown? Shouldn't they be considered as feral? I know some of the restaurant owners keep cats without tags, but theya re domistcated, and use them to control pests in the restaurant. What would you do about that?

Oh, man, I have to bite my toungue on this one.

Let me just say, I'm very leery of Chinese restaurants that are located right next to pet stores. :rotfl:

one afternoon
 

i was sitting in a chinese restaurant waiting for my take out order
and i noticed a little mouse coming down this hallway....see...
and
this other squeemish lookin dude was sitting nearby and hadn't yet noticed it..so i waited for my que.....watching for his reaction apon seeing it....

suddenly he sees it ....and cringes....and i said with the most precise timing ever.... " ya know those little pieces of meat in the house fried rice?"

and Pointed to the mouse..... with hungry eyes.....
well thats all he could take and turning green he ran out of there...:rotf3:ahhh ha ha ha....

its cheaper to have a cat to extreminate the rodents in the restaurants than hiring the professional.

A box of .22 rounds is cheaper than a cat. :btu:

And a lot of money to pay for the restaurant insurance if it fires at anythign inflammable.

Is it true some restaurants in NYC use food tongs to unclog toilets? :yak: :eek:

Yes, ask my mother because I sent her to the bathroom to find out and she came back to me and told me that I was right.

Technically having a cat in a restaraunt is a health hazard and illegal.
But I don't wanna know what kind of health hazard some of the places in Chinatown are without cats.

NAW VINNY YOUSES THAT DOODS HEAD WHO PISSED HIM AWFF... THEN HE DITCHES HIM WIT THA CEEEMENT CHOOSE. :faga:

Cuz we wouldnt want to have any dander on our foods, right?

Well, I just don't want any cat in my food. :yak:

Same here, but do you know those squabs that Chinese people serve us? They are from the street, but most of them are brought to restaurants from squab farms.
