That’s some pretty cool training! We recently discovered, though, that if you’re on a septic system, you probably need to have your tank pumped every year or two. Cat and dog poo apparently upsets the bacterial balance of septic systems.
Next cat purchase will be an automated feeder. Kat’s weight (recorded by the Litter Robot® each time she gets in) has been creeping up. Time to stop open feeding.
We’ve had our Litter Robot® for a little over a month. It’s so helpful, we’ve decided to adopt a second cat. And our current cat is fascinated with its operation. Very few cleaning cycles have completed without Kat sticking her head inside it to see what’s going on, which causes the cycle to pause (paws?). Expensive, but well worth it!
My parents had gone to the beach for a week when a squirrel came down the chimney, pushed open the fireplace glass doors, and rummaged around the house. He found the cereal cabinet in the kitchen, and feasted on Cheerios and Bran Flakes. He also noticed the bird feeder hanging outside the kitchen window and destroyed the window muntins trying to get to it. Mom never did like squirrels after that.
A bit about the license tag – “The army’s M1918 (Browning Automatic Rifle or BAR) was a favorite of gangster Clyde Barrow, who obtained his through periodic robberies of Army National Guard armories in the Midwest. Barrow liked to use armor-piercing .30-06 ammunition he obtained from armory stores, and frequently modified his BARs to suit his own needs. Barrow taught his girlfriend Bonnie Parker to fire the M1918 as well, and by all accounts she was an excellent BAR operator.” – Wikipedia entry on the M1918 Browning Automatic Rifle. Nicely done, Leigh!
After almost a week of Haystack Rock filling in for UFO, I hope when Graham finishes his summer break (Have fun, Graham!) that GoComics will carry Haystack Rock. I’ve really enjoyed them.
I like a squirt of Reddi-wip in my coffee in the mornings, but when the critters hear the can come out, suddenly I have the best, most obedient pets on the planet. Two dogs and a cat sitting at my feet, patiently waiting their daily dose.
