Quickest way to kill a large number of cats at once would be poisoned food. But if you're on a farm something else might eat it.

Actually, if you're on a farm why not grab a .22, cheap enough if you haven't already got one, although every home should have at least one firearm, I would imagine on a farm it must be pretty much a necessity.

So yeah, take the afternoon off, grab a .22 and a couple of boxes of ammunition, some beers, and just sit down somewhere where you know a lot of cats should come and shoot them. Sounds like a pretty good way to spend a day, I'm pretty jelly.

Cats can survive from very tall heights. Something like if the cat gets dropped from the 7th floor it has no time to reach terminal velocity. But if it is dropped from the 9th or 10th floor it can.

The higher up it is, the more chance it has of doing what the flying squirrel can do.

It's true, though. In any lab that works with animals, you have to fill out an application before you can actually use any. The benefits of your research must outweigh the mental and physical stress you put the animals through, or you don't get your animals. This applies to pretty much any vertebrate lab animal.

maybe someone already posted but sir, you are missing out on a great opportunity for some good old roman style, surrealistic and sadistic fun.

I'm not going to post the fun stuff but you need some booms, also rig up a remote detonator using some hillybilly electronics. Now that you've got that shit ready to go, you git yerself a big ass bag of catfood. Also the .22, you need that to finish them off.

draw as many cats to the food as possible, hide behind something enough so you can watch and flip the switch. Hopefully it goes off and fucks them all to shit. Then run in with the .22 and finish off the wounded, taliban style.
