My mom and Ty took one of her feral cats to the vet today. They think it had rabies. They're doing a necropsy on it to make sure, but all the symptoms point to rabies. We just got a call from Wilson county sheriff's dept that there are 3 cases here. I don't know if that includes Mom's cat or not.

I'm not taking any chances even though our pets are vaccinated. We have all our pets in the house. There's feral cats running all over our farm.

We had a family of raccoons on our front porch the other night... lol

I'm tempted to catch one and domesticate it...

lol you'd be changing your mind real quick!

I have a friend who occasionally raises wild animals that have been abandoned and she told me racoons are easily the biggest assholes of the animal kingdom. They constantly get in your stuff and tear it to pieces.

Maybe I'm part raccoon then, since I do that too...

If the test comes back positive for rabies, my mom is gonna have to do something. She might not like it, but they all might have to be put down.

We're doing all we can do to rehome kittens. I have a house full right now. The humane society is helping find homes, and our vet is giving us discounts on neutering. Two go tomorrow for neutering, and they're just the tip of the iceberg.

Cats and Farms go together too! I have never shown a horse ranch (back when I was a real estate broker) without there being cats around. Nor ever rode without cats around.

Don't vets have to immediately put an animal down if they are found to have rabies?

My Sister and Brother in law had a pet raccoon. (They live in a housing development, but it's out in in the country.) A Sheriff's Deputy showed up one day and confiscated the raccoon. Seems that you can't have a normally wild animal as a pet. (Even though it was kind of a "house" raccoon.) They had gotten it rabies shots, but the one they give to cats is the same one they give to raccoons. It's only like 60-70% effective.

My BIL in was PO'ed! They had laying hens and ever a rabbit, but you can't keep a pet raccoon!

Keep all their shots current and they should be OK. My biggest fear around here are snakes! This condo complex seem to be a snake magnet!

      Do you see the vision?  As of now our Carolina Panthers don’t have an identity. We are not an offensive powerhouse and on defense we only started getting it together towards the end of the year last year. In my opinion we are much closer to having an incredible defense that scares the daylights out of people. I say the answer is simple and we fully commit to that possible identity.    Emmanuel McNeil Warren (E man)  This guy is like a shark lurking around ready to attack anyone. Fearless. He is easily a top 20 talent in my eyes, and the only reason he isn’t more talked about is because he’s from Toledo. Do your due diligence as panther fans and watch his tape I beg you. Once you’re done watching let me ask you this, if you dropped E - Man into the strong safety spot on the Buckeyes, he isn’t being talked about as one of the best prospects we’ve seen in some time given the skill set you see with this guy? I think so. Put his name on the card and turn it in at 19.    Jacob Rodriguez  High effort, High energy, High IQ guy that flies around the field. We all know Jacob at this point. My only concern is he’s a little bit too good and I’m not sure he makes it to us at our pick in the second. With the additions of Jacob and E- Man I think our defense goes to top 5 in the league. We would have a duo of linebackers that rival anything we’ve had in our past. I’m not a GM so I don’t know what the possible answer could be, but if there’s a way we can comfortably trade up in the second to secure this guy I think we find a way to do it.    Spend the rest of our picks fixing the O - line.    Thoughts Panthers fans? Who’s the ideal duo for yall?

      OL is arguably much more important to the success of a young QB. (Or any QB)
