Cats Should Be Exterminated
Cats Should Be Exterminated
By Elton Camp
I am making a call for action long overdue
For there is an important task we need to do
They have crept into our lives with little note
Now it is the time to take them by the throat
Bleeding heart groups like PETA and the SPCA
Mustn’t be allowed an unfavorable word to say
House cats, of all pets, should have the distinction
Of being the first parasites to experience extinction
While a tiny, little kitten may be somewhat okay
As adults, they certainly don’t remain that way
There’s nothing of value or worth that cats do
Yet, they expect, at all times, to be catered to
Upholstery on our furniture they will fiercely tear
That is, after they have littered it all with hair
If the housecat we, even in a small way, displease
It will scratch or bite and maybe even cause disease
It’s an animal stupid enough to stay up in a tree
An expect a human to climb up and set it free
A cat demands to be fed only the very finest food
Perhaps it condescends to eat if it is in the mood
The time has passed to let them have their way
Every single cat we should round up and slay
That this tinges on the cruel some may protest
But for all concerned, it is unquestionably best
