I got me an air rifle and have some recipes for pigeon and squirrel. Ready to rebuild!

That's a good plan, but what if everyone else also has that plan? That's why I got into aquaponics. Protein and veggies year-round, with air powered lead to supplement (and maybe trade the neighbors their own cats.)

TOTALLY!!

I'm using half my basement to build a year round garden (dependent on electricity for lighting and the gas for the modern "efficient" noisy hot water home heating system my landlady installed over a decade ago in this 100 year old building before I moved in). I've planned to bring fish in later, maybe in a year or two, even if I have to put them in a kiddie pool or few. I may have to protect them from my cats who will likely be entertained by them.

Trade cats? My 2 cat still have their balls. Maybe I should get a female or two to breed some "cat food". Someone else would have to butcher them if it came to that.

I was talking about killing and cleaning them and trading them back to their owners as food. I hate cats. But yeah good stuff on the basement garden. Hydroponics?

I would like to do hydroponics too, but I'm pretty sure the additives and fish don't mix.

Careful, tons of cat lovers on here. Beats me too, I can't stand these vermin. Dogs all day.
