Excerpt from Book

Chapter 1 HOW TO TALK TO YOUR CAT ABOUT GUN SAFETY Do I need to talk to my cat about gun safety? The first question many of you will be asking is, "Do I really need to teach my cat about gun safety?" The answer is an unequivocal "Yes!!!" The Constitution of the United States of America guarantees us the right to own and operate firearms, and that is a right we must exercise in order to keep our country healthy, lest our democracy atrophy. It is the duty of all American citizens--as well as their cats--to be able to use and maintain a firearm. Citizens who cannot handle a gun safely are as irresponsible and useless as citizens who do not own a gun at all. Americans and their homes are under attack. It is impurrative that, in order to ensure the future security of our country, every man, woman, child, and cat be able to defend our nation against the enemies of democracy. Do cats really play with guns? Yes! Absolutely yes! Even a cursory search of the Internet will turn up dozens of pictures of cats playing with guns, almost all handling them in an incredibly unsafe manner. The pictures above and on page 7 are but a small sample--the tip of the iceberg--that illustrates the very real danger posed by cats who are uneducated in the ways of gun safety. So my cat finds a gun, what''s the big deal? It is frequently said that curiosity killed the cat, but what is often left unsaid is that the actual cause of death was the improper discharge of a firearm by a poorly trained feline. Cats are inquisitive creatures, no doubt about it. They are going to explore every nook and cranny of your home. And if you keep a firearm in your place of residence (which you should), it is only a matter of time before your cat discovers it. Pawse for a meowment to think about which scenario you would rather have play out: Your cat, never having seen or handled a gun before, bats it around as if it''s just another toy or stuffed mouse, possibly discharging it in the process? Or, Your cat, whom you have already talked to about how a firearm is a tool and not a toy, and who has received extensive training on the proper handling of the weapon, discovers your firearm and accords it the respect it is due? The answer should be as obvious as the whiskers on your cat''s face! Is it safe to own a gun if I have cats in my house? Pawsitively yes! A gun is a tool, plain and simple. While it does have the potential to cause injury, the same is true of cleaning chemicals, knives, and matches. It is only because of the propaganda and scare tactics of the liberal, Jew-run media that Americans second-guess the wisdom of keeping guns in their households--scare tactics that undoubtedly serve their greater agenda to overthrow the rightful leadership of the United States, and the subsequent imposition of a European-based one-world government. If anything, once you have explained to your cat the importance of responsible gun handling, having a firearm in your home will make your cat considerably safer. Not only will your fluffy little friend be prepared to fend off criminal, foreign, or supernatural threats, but cats from gun-free homes are more likely to be curious about weapons they encounter than cats who are already familiar with them. As we will discuss in the next section, it is impossible to guarantee that your cat will never come into contact with a gun, so make sure your kitty is ready for it when that day finally arrives! I''m responsible with my gun, why should I bother to teach my cat about gun safety? You always keep your guns unloaded when not in use. They are stored in a secured gun safe that only you have the key to. You even have trigger locks. Surely with all these precautions you don''t need to talk to your cat about responsible firearm usage, right? Wrong. Dead wrong! Even if you keep your firearms secure, that doesn''t mean your cat won''t encounter one elsewhere, especially if they''re an outside cat. Do you really know what your cat is up to when they leave the house? What other cats they associate with? Where they go? What they''re doing? While 40 percent of American households are smart enough to own at least one firearm, not all of them are as responsible as you. Think about how many homes on your block alone might have unsecured weapons your cat could get their paws on. Even worse, many of these unsecured guns are kept in cardboard boxes, a container most cats will find irresistible. If your pet were to come into contact with a gun without the proper training, it could be a catastrophe! ADVICE FROM OUR EXPURRTS All the guns in the world won''t do your cat a lick of good if he doesn''t have the ammewnition to back them up. Wrapping your cat in a bandolier will help ensure he''s ready for trouble wherever he goes, whether it''s out in the neighborhood, using his litter box, or even snuggled in his favorite blanket. What is the best age to start talking to my cat about gun safety? The easy answer is that no age is too young to start introducing your cat to the benefits and responsibilities of gun ownership, but realistically, you should wait until at least a week after birth, when cats begin to open their eyes. At no point in your cat''s life will it be more playful and precocious than when they''re a kitten. The obituaries are filled with families who thought that their kitten was too young to play with guns, that they could wait until the cat was just a little bit older to instruct them on proper firearm usage and safety. This assumption is irresponsible, and--too often--fatal! If anything, the youthfulness of your kitten is even more reason to teach them about firearms. Never forget: your kitten''s curiosity, clumsiness, mischievousness, and lack of problem-solving abilities can be a deadly combination! What are the risks of not talking to my cat about gun safety? Every day that you hesitate in talking to your cat about gun safety you are putting yourself, your loved ones, and your cat at risk. Think about your cat, sitting by a window, watching a bird in a nearby tree. How much does your cat want to catch that bird!? They desire nothing more, and if your cat has not been trained to respect the power of a firearm, they may try to use your gun to do it! You may think that there''s no danger in this, that cats are natural hunters. But until your cat has practiced in the controlled setting of a reputable and licensed firing range, you cannot assume that they have the skills necessary to operate the gun safely. While cats do possess many innate skills when it comes to hunting, the operation of a firearm is not among them. Over 40 percent of firearm accidents involving cats are caused by improperly trained felines attempting to shoot birds out of trees: accidents that lead to the wounding or death of tens of thousands of humans and cats every single year. This is the most common danger you expose your household to when you fail to talk to your cat about gun safety, but it''s certainly not the only one. Don''t procatstinate! Talk to your cat today! Wait, does that mean that I shouldn''t allow my cat to use a gun while hunting? No, of course your cat should have access to all the weaponry our Founding Fathers risked their lives to guarantee us, whether it be a simple Beretta 9mm or a fully automatic AK-47. However, if your cat is going to use a firearm for hunting, it is important to make sure that they are properly licensed, that they do not fire the gun within five hundred feet of a residential area, and that they understand the importance of wearing a highly visible orange hunting vest. Further, since cats are color blind, it is advisable that you mark the vest in some way so your cat will be able to tell it apart from any other non-orange vests they own of a similar cut. Is it wise to teach my cat how to use a gun? How do I know I can trust them? Some have said that our cats might have greater loyalty to other cats than to their country, but this is patently untrue. Just like how it''s written out, American cats are Americans first and cats second. I have no doubt that when there is some sort of incursion by the European Union or the United Nations to impose their sovereignty upon America, despite the presence of cats on both sides of the conflict, American cats will stand with us. Our cats were born here and they have tasted the sweet fruits of our democracy. It is prepawsterous to think that their blood would run any less red than that of a human American patriot. How do cats fit in to the defense of America? There are almost one hundred million cats living in American households, and untold millions more loosely organized into feral militias. Do you not think that the enemies of our nation quake in fear at the thought of an extra hundred million soldiers defending our country--soldiers who possess superhuman reflexes, balance, and unrivaled night vision? The importance of cats to national defense is something that has been understood by many of our greatest presidents, from Abraham Lincoln to George W. Bush, and is something that, as vigilant Americans, we must never furget. Besides safety, why should I teach my cat how to handle a gun? Simply because it is the duty of every American citizen, human and cat alike, to exercise the rights bestowed upon us by the U.S. Constitution. By teaching your cat about the potential dangers your home might face--such as burglars, dogs, ghosts, and foreign enemies of the United States--as well as the proper way to respond to them, you are helping to fulfill the destiny of the greatest nation ever conceived of.
