Crikey! : How To Stop Cats Pissing On Your Car

[Aesop]

Though it's apparently a couple of years old, I hadn't seen this video on YouTube until Weaponsman posted it.

1. Spew alert.
2. This guy should have had a weekly [strike]Animal Planet![/strike] Discovery Channel show 5 minutes after he posted this video.
3. If this is a dupe of a two-year old prior post, you should still watch it again.
4. Did we mention spew alert?

As one of the resident cat lovers, I thought that was pretty good. I wish people wouldn't let their cats run wild.

I wish I had known this guy when I was in grad school. I lived in a 19th Century neighborhood by the Ohio River. The area was literally crawling with feral cats. Between them and the pigeons, my poor little red Audi didn't stand a chance. A big part of the reason I sold it and bought a Toyota...

For the record, I am also one of the resident cat lovers here.

Same here. That was rather good, that fellow has talent. And cats that are pets - as in have people that actually care for them who want them to be healthy and live a long time - should be kept indoors. Cats with more a working relationship with people (i.e. barn cats), sure let them do whatever.

[spoiler]Anyway I've always wondered about that 'cat person' / 'dog person' thing. I always found it to be nonsense. It's almost like if you had kids, and decided that you would be a 'female child loving parent' or a 'male child loving parent'. A full-spectrum human being isn't one or the other.[/spoiler]

$50 gets you the same thing on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Contech-CRO101-Sc ... B000071NUS

But I suppose it's more fun to build your own, if you are so inclined.

Many years ago I traveled out of town to a friend's, to go skiing the next morning. When I got there I laid out my ski togs, sweater, turtleneck and pants. We stayed up late that night drinking Wild Turkey and talking. I got up the next morning to a terrible hangover... I got dressed and we headed out. A horrible odor was wafting up in my face, I thought the booze/hangover had affected my olfactory senses or something. We went out for breakfast, then hit the slopes. I had a terrible time of it, skiing hungover is no fun, especially not with some half-imagined stink in my face all day. I wound up taking a rather bad fall and cracking a rib. Worst day skiing ever. Later, once sober and recovered, I learned that the guy's cat had pissed all over my ski clothes overnight. Jeez. Never did get all the stink out of that sweater.

I like cats well enough. I've got a really good enchilada recipe, and I know for a fact that they give tamales a distinctive flavor.

I've never really liked cats, a fact that I've pointed out to our two on numerous occasions. Especially when Doofus thinks he needs to sit on my shoulder while I'm putting on boots. It's like he thinks he has to supervise while I'm doing it.

And Dipstick apparently thinks I need supervision to go to the bathroom, since I can't go in there without him following me.

Did I mention that I don't really care for cats?

Did anyone else think "WHY DID YOU STRIP YOUR CAR?! GO TO HD, AND GET A FRIKKEN SPRINKLER VALVE!", or is it just me?

So he could show off the fact that he could. Apparently, he was also the winner on the Australian version of Top Gear.
