YouTube Videos

Funny thing is, there are dozens of other similar vids about e-buses going supernova.

Pest (cockroach) control - YouTube?

Sorry. 1st time uploading a video on YT – default “private”
Hope I fixed it…

“Video marked as private.”

Is this the happiest cat in the world?
And check out that tail!
She looks a lot like my last cat. I miss him still.
All the Best,
Jeff

I used to have a big fluffy she would admire herself in the mirror

Zombie Octopus inside a swimming pool. Shows off a lots of techniques in a single video. I’ve been wanting try some projects like this with resin

Had a cat much like that one. Loved playing in the snow. She would always stay within the boundaries of the back ally. Thought it would be safe. Back neighbour set some food with rat poison. Very painful and slow death. I wept much.
Karma; had a portable welder drop on his head. Survived but went downhill afterwards. Ended up in a disability home and caught Covid (died). His wife lost it; interned mental ineptitude. Only son, low-down drinker and good for nothing came clamouring at his folk’s house a year after all that calamity. Was piss drunk and on pills, had driven over. Neighbour called the cops – took him in. Wasn’t the first time drunk at the wheel, and revoked license. Doing time now. Riddance.

That’s a beautiful cat Sidney, sorry for your loss.

That’s why my 2 critters are never going outside again.

First inside was probably an 8yo indoor cat that someone just tossed when he developed problems (angry red growths in his mouth that kept him from eating), so on day 3 that I saw him, I took him to the vet, had the growths removed, all fixed up, full workup, baths, trim, etc., and he’s my velcro cat, no particular desire to go back out except maybe on the patio.

Second inside had been around a few years that I’d feed every day, would later eat inside then go back out, then would eat and sleep and eat and sleep then go back out, then eat sleep, and stay the night and then go back out, but would always be getting beat up in catfights. Huge down-to-the-muscle rakes on his shoulder and ballooning infection on his cheek/neck, another billion dollars at the vet, and had him recovering in the house while he tore himself up trying to get out. Finally calmed down but still was itching to get out. Now actually is “domesticated” in that he comes by me and sleeps right near me (and loooooooves my rubber flipflops) and only recently yearns for The Great Outdoors but doesn’t push it.

So I basically dote on ’em and give ’em whatever they want to make being inside as fun as possible. Even have a coffin-sized Chewy box that #1 loves climbing into. Lifts up the flap, sticks his head in, slides into, lets the flaps close back up behind him. So yeah, it’s staying here as a permanent fixture. :laughing:

Had way way too many cats come by and then eventually “disappear”. Smooshed by douchebag drivers, shot, poisoned, who knows. At least they can come here and get some free eats. And wet food, not just the dry crap.

All ours have been inside cats. Except 1 who stayed in the fenced in back yard for short adventures - never after dark. This was before there were any houses across the ally. A quiet place back then.
He was a scorpion kill’en dude. He would bash them around the floor till I got them or he parted them out.
As far as I know he never got stung.
They were coming in from the empty fields across the ally. I stopped counting at 30.
By the time he passed away it was all built up and the invasion stopped.

They tend to last a long time.
16y, 21y, 19y, and our current tiny rescue cat turned 22y last month.
I do wish I lived someplace safe where I felt it was OK to have outdoor time.
We have several semi feral cats in the hood. Some will let humans near - others won’t.

Sidney, so sorry to hear that. I hope there is a special place in hell for anyone who abuses pets or children.
All the Best,
Jeff

Heh! That was funnier than I thought it’d be.

Yeah, I get a kick out of Clancy Brown. He has done so many terrific roles. Hadn’t seen DeZarn in a while. What a face!

Btw, discovered Buster Scruggs is available on Netflix.

Thanks for your compassion. At the time I looked into pressing charges against the fellow. City by-law limits to a $1000 fine for abusing pets. I would have to prove beyond doubt he was the perpetrator of my cat’s demise and then throw a civil suit to cover my veterinary costs ($940). I had pictures of the said dish of food and the vet’s analysis, but this could be counterclaimed as fabrication.
People of such character eventually get back at them. I carried a deep grudge for many years, but fate would have cast its destiny.

On another note, glad to see some have a darker side of humour (xevious).

Does my posted video on ‘pest control’ show?

I could just picture the dbag getting smooshed like in a car2n. :laughing:

I was debating whether/not to make a catio. I do have a patio, but open Fe railings and brick steps going down, so I’d have to line the railings at least with chicken-wire, and they can jump up, so that means poles and more chicken-wire, I imagine.

I’d never leave ’em out there unattended, so as long as the CW would slow ’em down, I could still grab either one if he wanted to make a break for it.

This way, they could enjoy The Great Outdoors, at least somewhat, and I’d not have to worry about them picking up fleas, ticks, etc., from elsewhere.

I saw. I’d insist on a flamethrower first.

Douche guy at the end of the alley built a 6’ solid wood fence cause he didn’t like the strays furrowing in his flower bed. Fool; they have claws and in a whoosh, up they go. But he’s encroached within a wall. And he’s better off as such.

Chicken wire ain’t pretty, and they may get their paws caught. Had mine all tangled up in the drapes once, just stood there waiting that I rescue her. Never tried that acrobatic stunt again. Some people have somehow gotten them on a lead. Never worked with me. Wonder if those high-pitched emitters, the ones to train off-limits areas, work?

PS: My stubby fellow is quite laid back and me living on the ground floor, just wanders to the end of the driveway. Never gets in any fights with the territorial strays, and doesn’t care for the bed (which is good – no bugs or fleas). Always within sight, ventures a bit in the front when I’m taking my morning brew. Never a nuisance but a good companion on those cold dark winter evenings. Cuddles me as I’m watching Youtube.

There was a very well off couple in town.
She loved cats. He hated them and refused to have the in the house.

So she took her own money. Bought the adjoining lot.
Then built a 4000? Sq. Ft. Two story house complete with cat runs and housekeeper cat companion. She had visiting rights. He didn’t.

Left her inheritance to a trust. Guess who didn’t get named.
All the Best,
Jeff

All our cats were indoor-outdoor. We don’t have houses or traffic nearby so it never was a problem. Now there are predatory birds snatching up small pets. Eagles and hawks hunting daily. Lost 2 cats.

Had a couple of crows with one offspring in the neighbourhood for a number of years. Plucked every little critter – sparrows, squirrels, and small cats. I inquired about controlling them, like re-locating. Ministry said they stay, part of the eco-system. Been a couple of years and don’t see nor heard them. The nest isn’t taken care and deteriorating. Not complaining. Never thought crows are so predatory. One swooped down from behind and clawed my cap. I’m sure he/she was intimating - territorial.

Wow, you weren’t kidding about it being dark. Just watched 1st half of it. Seriously visceral quality about it. I imagine the west was at least this brutal, if not worse. Amazing cinematography!

Did you ever see the PBS Nature program on crows, where they show how they’ve got incredible social communication? They can pass down experiences. A flock had been exposed to a taunting human with a certain grotesque mask. Later, when the crows had offspring, and were alone from those who’d seen the masked human, they reacted the same way upon seeing him. Never had seen him before. Inexplicable, how the parents could’ve communicated it.
