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!

      Moton extension. 2 more years, $44M

      By Loyalty4Life · Posted

      In your opinion. What do you think Moton's true value in contract, dollars and guarantees? If we had not extended him, what is your plan for RT in 27 and 28? How important are good offensive linemen for our current offense? How much value do you put on protecting Bryce at this stage of his career? How difficult in general do you think finding above average tackles in the NFL is?

      Falcons with Major Offensive Line Injuries to Start the Season

      By Seltzer · Posted

      The Falcons have 2 significant offensive line injuries to start the 2025 season. Right tackle Kaleb Mcgary (who is the blindside protector for Penix since he is left-handed) is going to miss significant time, and it's looking more like it may be all season. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/falcons-expect-kaleb-mcgary-to-miss-significant-time https://x.com/BKsquared7/status/1959285822236107013. Also, the top backup and swing tackle, Storm Norton (cool name BTW) is having ankle surgery and may miss half the season. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/falcons-ot-storm-norton-out-6-8-weeks-after-ankle-surgery I don't root for injuries, but its also hard to be too sympathetic given how badly injuries have hit us in recent years. We definitely need to get that W in week 3 for our home opener at BOA. Despite our collective frustration at not being able to attend TC and then having boring preseason games, ultimately the most important objective of the preseason is to enter Week1 healthy, and we have at least done that. Hopefully the depth we think we have at Oline either shines through or isn't needed. Many other teams are in a bad spot with their offensive lines before the season even starts. For once, we aren't in that situation.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By CRA · Posted

      That roster was billed as a super smart and strong unit for a young QB….until he sucked though.   it didn’t have superstars but it had proven vets that checked well all the safe boxes and it was universally agreed the Panthers were putting him into position to succeed. BY just doesn’t fit a traditional O because he isn’t built like a traditional QB.  And he still doesn’t.   CJ Stroud would have had more success here than Bryce with that cast.   CJ just has the tools that fit the NFL more easily.  Young can find success but I have always argued it would take a Bryce centric plan (which we have never attempted IMO)
