Cats are indeed smart animals. If he really likes to live outside you cannot do much for him
I once saw what a man had done for his cats. He build a large cage (it sounds bad but its for the good of the cats) in his back yard and inside he made few wooden places for the cats. The cage is connected with his dog door and the cats walk though a small tunnel( made from the same material like the cage) and reach the inside of the cage. That way they are protected and outside.

Friend had a cat that would catch snakes and bring them to the front door to show off.

I find it more fun if they bring in birds...
especially those that are a bit bigger (like a blackbird) and release them inside 
We had to collect the feathers in the whole appartment and that damn bird was too dumb (or probably scared) to realize that a window only lets through the light...

I prefer gathering feathers to entrails...

When I bought my house, the previous owners couldn't get their cat into the carrier to go with them. They said they would come back for him, and warned to stay away from him "he's a killer".
He turned out to be the sweetest cat...
Fast forward, we kept finding live birds in the house. Some hiding in closets, some downstairs. We thought they were flying in through the chimney or something.
Yeah, it turns out the cat kept bringing them in. It was probably hilarious to watch both that cat and I chasing after the birds seeing who could catch it first.
The cat finally learned his lesson and started catching smaller birds. The feathers and what was left was not much fun to clean up.

Probably is, but it's the way he drops it, looks at it, looks at me, slaps it, and strolls off with his nose in the air... 
Then I get to hunt the damn thing down and fish it out of whatever tiny hole it has found before it poos, breeds, or dies...

Dij is a boy - it's "short" for Digital: when we got him as a kitten he was either ON (and doing a Wall-Of-Death round the room) or OFF (asleep and you could do anything to him you liked and he wouldn't wake up)
He is a member here and visits occasionally: http://www.codeproject.com/Members/Dij-The-Cat[^]
He predecessor was also a member, but he developed a virulent strain of Feline Infectious Peritonitis and we had to let him go. Bill[^] was a lot more active here, since he sat on my keyboard a lot more than Dij does.

Friend has two indoor cats and a mouse problem. Cats watch the mice but given it is a old house the mice do not need to come where the cats are.

Almost every mail received today (announcements, updates, even spam): listen to our radio station because is VD; buy this because etc.
I wonder if Windows Updates will install a valetine.s.day.interop.dll, or congratulate with a system modal dialog, or something.
Today I'm also going to dentist in the evening; if one more human being will stop me with something like this, it will be something like Protoss praetor Fenix assaulting the Zerg cerebrates.

Hey, I know this number you should call for great astrology advice, especially on such a special day as today

Whenever I want to Record something on the Sky+ I always say I'm going to 'Tape' that, much to the amusement of my Missus and Kids. Am I the only one that still says this?
It got me thinking of other terminology that still remains long after the technology has ceased to exist.
I could only come up with 'pull the chain' when going to the lavatory, which is still used despite most toilets no longer have a chain. Others are 'drive' which is used for Cars despite originally referring to driving a horse. Obviously 'Sail' is still used when pertaining to motor driven boats.
Are there any other terms that have outlived the technology they were first used for?
