Default Better to shoot cats...

The message
from "Therefore" contains these words:

This weeks Garden News has a letter from a distraught gardener regarding
cats this you should read.


However cats where would we be without them.
Small boys going fishing with cat gut line
Operations and the like with cat gut stitching
Bowmen of England with cat gut strings for the bows
Ladies gloves
Rabbit pie
Air force pilot had cats eyes during 2nd. world war
perhaps you know more


Yes indeed:

Small boys go fishing with nylon line.
Stitches are either nylon or a digestible man-made fibre.
Bowmen of England used waxed hempen cord.
See if you can find a pair of catskin gloves....
Rabbit pie is, as named, filled with rabbit and topped with pastry.
However, it could be a good way of disposing of the evidence of your
misdeeds...
Air Force pilots kept their own eyes as far as it was possible, and
cats' eyes were relegated to guiding benighted motorists.
You've forgotten the 'catgut' of old violin strings, which were made
from sheepgut.
