Post Your Pets

We're getting a chihuahua this year...

We always have to have turkey but it's just so dry.

My girlfriend just said "lets get rid of the cats and get more kittens!"

Ha! Classic.

When I left the house this morning James, the eldest cat, was happily sat in an empty box, surveying the rest of the sitting room over the top of the un-tucked leaves of cardboard.

He's 8 now, but still behaves much like the kitten I remember from years ago, just with less regularity.

15:15 today, we have one busted cat

with your obvious computer knowledge web cams etc can't you devise something that will give the little fella a blast of loud nasty noise everytime he's spotted up there on the counter ?

down boy

Already working on it, we're in a testing phase at the moment, once I get the motion detection honed in MOC's going to rig it up to a siren and a strobe that is situated next to the kitchen, the key thing is to make sure we dont set it off, so I have to get the hours of operation right. Today was the first day we were both back at work so was the first true test. We will of course enable recording at some stage so we can witness the effect.

Poor cat, don't scare him off :(

your neighbours will wonder wtf is happening clefty, once the strobes and sirens start going off

Should be amusing, but I predict that once your beast works out that it's all sound and no fury, he'll be back at it in no time. Cats aren't stupid, you know!

I reckon you should buy a melotron and put the induction wire under the tiles of the work surface. That way it would always be a different noise created by Wolfie himself, so he'd not be able to get used to it.

Poor cat, don't scare him off :(

We wont, it's correctional only and he has a very short memory, we may go with a squirt deterrant anyway.

in other news we caught evil blue cat on camera having a sniff at the cat flap today - really need to sort the outside power out for the camera as the flap is effectively unlocked at the moment as the power cable for the camera and the pond pump is going through it. I don't want him to get in and spray anywhere.

Yes I know he doesn't look blue in the pics, but the camera isn't great on colours.

Thanks Will :-)

i'm surprised the cat didn't spot the huge cable running through the cat flap and walk on past nonchalantly knowing he was on candid camera

Impressive, Wolfie can only manage small boxes that he can see out of, he's too much of a scaredy cat to try the big ones, although he'll happily disappear under floorboards.

She climbed up onto the back of the chair, then dived in from there.

Jumped out a while later, without upsetting the box.

For those that don't have pets of their own, there is someone seeking funding to open a cat cafe in London!

^ I can* contribute a few cats if they want ;-)

• I can't :-(
  

I reeeeaaallly hope it gets funded, I would love to go and chill out with a room of cats and a slice of cake for the afternoon! I can't have a cat in my flat it's too little and I have no outside space. :-(

If they're anything like my cat then you wouldn't get much of that cake :-)

So we've got some sort of a cat again.

He looks a bit like a street version of Higgs
