For the Bucky bashers out there who nonetheless still have a cat or three in their lives, there’s a hot tip for you: water. When I had cats many years ago (and I don’t now), the most effective way to get them to behave was to pick them up right when they’re doing something bad (like shredding the couch), start saying the word “water” over and over to them (and make sure you’re holding onto all of their paws at that moment), take them in the bathroom and turn on the shower. Right at that moment they will make it apparent that they will never again to what got them in that predicament in the first place. You don’t even have to put them in the water. The sound of the running water will get the job done.
I had a paranoid friend who thought someone had thrown a gallon water bottle at her as she walked around a bend in the highway. There was no point trying to explain to her that someone had probably just set it down on the roof of their car and forgotten about it. When the car went around the bend at appreciable speed, my friend got the water bottle.

Sound the alarm. Guam holds the record for invasions, but Poles hold the record for invasions without actually having a country.
