Tanada had some very interesting things to say
about "stay away": PC is 4 1/2 years old. I suspect that he'd really enjoy using a pistol, so I'd better get in contact with them right away before he takes matters into his own paws. 4 1/2??? When did that happen? I remember his acquisition story, and I'm sure it wasn't more than a couple of years ago, and he was a baby at the time! -- "The universe is quite robust in design and appears to be doing just fine on its own, incompetent support staff notwithstanding. :-)" - the Dennis formerly known as (evil), MCFL |

It just seems like PC has owned us forever. He's still a hoolicat, and, except for Speedy (the D-thing) and his attempts to play games with PC, has been having things pretty much his own way. I still need to get him pistol certification lessons. Do you think they can convince him that bullets are made out of cheddar cheese?

Oh Pam....that's why you don't chamber a round until you're ready to use it. You need thumbs to pull the slide back, silly! :-) If you're convinced Pine Cone might use it, I think he/she should take a basic handgun safety course first. That's just common sense. Your veterinarian probably has info on these things. chuckle You remind me of a picture that was making the rounds, a few months ago of a kitten "aiming" a pistol out the window at a dog! I no longer have the URL, but it's hysterical! That reminds me of a picture I saw in the paper years ago. I probably still have it somewhere, but I'm not likely to find it anytime soon. Anyway, it's a picture of a cat in a window and there is a reflection of a fireman raising an axe. It looks like he's about to axe the cat, but in reality he was chopping his way in somewhere else. |

Does anyone have esperience with a sensor-device called STAY AWAY? If a cat jumps on a table or counter, the sensor sets off a noise and a blast of air? Does it work and if so, where can you buy it? Someone sent me a link for a "scat mat" (not that kind of scat). It's a pad that gives a slight shock (it used a 9-volt battery and had 3 settings). I didn't really think it was practical. My kitten finally reached the kitchen counter a couple of weeks ago. I hit her with a blast from a spray bottle, but so far she's only learning to jump down as soon as I see her up there. In fact, I just had to interrupt this post because I heard her in there. She doesn't seem to realize that until she behaves herself, she's not going to have free run of the house while I'm gone. I'm being a real hard-ass about it because my few surviving house plants are huddled in one corner of the kitchen counter nursing themselves back to health. I've fortified their position with a ring of empty beer bottles. Maybe if I just covered the counters with dish soap before I left that would deter her. Thanks Ken |

Anyway, my kitten was shot when I found her. Fortunately it was only with a pellet gun. I can tell you one thing about dogs though. If anyone ever attacked me, my dog would defend me. My cat would probably just watch - until she realized I couldn't stop her from getting on the kitchen counter. Then she'd jump up there and kill all my plants. |

Come on...you know they're vermin. If they ever had a molecule of nobility, we've bred it out of them. If you want a real dog, have some real balls. Get a wolf. |
