Cat proofing a stereo

Easy enough to put the food out when your cat comes to ask for it if you want to save money.

I meant you have a lot of visiting cats.

I was trying to find that photo of someone who had installed a cat flap in the wall of her upper flat, causing the kitty to fall out, but I can't find it. Instead I found this weirdness - people caging their cats!

Round here the council seems to put everyone with a dog in one place. Those places are loud and stink.

Well that's AUS they have some weird people there I blame the home brewing and distilling. Bit providing the cats have enough room afterall zoos keep bigger cats in c ages.

ose places are loud and stink.

yes dogs tend to bark louder than cats.

Went to a customers house a few weeks ago (they had recently bought the house). I knew the smell and asked where their cat was. They did not have a cat. They did have a cat flap:-)

You can teach a cat not to do so. They're bloody stupid and it takes a while (you have to tell them off for each place they do it one by one).

For what purpose?

It was there when they bought the house.

First thing I'd remove if I wasn't planning on getting a cat.

Then you're giving him too much if you want only yours to eat it.

When someone has kittens around here, they are easily given away.

It just seems odd not letting them roam free.

Difficult to teach someone elses cat. If yuo can;t teach them not to come into your home yuo'll have littel luck teaching them not to piss.

Very difficult to do later in life. (cats life not humans)

I've know 2 people to buy houses with cat flas already in the doors. One;s blocked there's off the other will get a cat in the furtire but not just yet.

He's cleverer than you think. At teh weekends when I oserved him more close ly he;d would leave food go out for a while have a shit or whatever then co me back between 15-30mins later and finish off the food. Sometime some food he was less keen on and did leave it and ont a number of occasions I saw him watch the other cat at his food bowl and he;d only cha nce it off after the food had gone.

A you see I had a webcam and my previous flap was just a normal one. So other cats did come in and I set up an alert on the computer which said "intruder alert" my cat got used to this and sometimes he was fast asleep on the sofa and heard the alert and he got up and went to his food bowl.

Cats that live in a home alone tend to leave food for another meal, where a s where there's more than one cat they tend to finish their bowl as they do n't normally want other cats taking their food.

coulpe of months ago.

Yes same here but if the owner wants to keep them..... A memeberof staff here presently has 13 cats, a former lecturer wife here h ad 30 ! cats, whether it was the cats or his wife that gave him a nevrous b reakdown I don't know but she blammed it on him working late nights on his Phd.

But since you have all those strays coming in, your cat would be stupid to leave food where they could steal it from him.

Where I lived as a boy there was a 90 year old man with a hunchback with 40 cats. He'd have 3 or 4 of them perched on his back when he walked to the Post Office.

The lion went after the fat kid. Too much meat on him.

he worked it out quicker than you, if he wants fresh food straight out the packet instead of food left out to dry and collect flies he leaves it there for the other cats. He wasnt; worried about that, I was.

That would be a sight worth youtubing ...

That would make a good diet ad for kids but they probbaly wouldn't allow it :-(

Reply to
whisky-dave

But if he thinks you only put out x amount of food, leaving half of it means he'll get less food.

Didn't exist then.

Anything should be allowed in an ad. People are not forced to watch what they don't like.

Reply to
Mr Macaw

They are, because until you watch it you wouldn;t know whether or not you liked it.

Then there's my ad for staying in the EU. If we don;lt stay in the EU you'll get penis rot and yuor childrens children will die before the age or 10.

Reply to
whisky-dave

So what? It's a picture and a sound, it won't kill you.

You should be free to show that ad if you wish. People can choose not to believe you of course.

Reply to
Mr Macaw

No because he knows when I get home I'll refill his bowl, if tehe's food in it I might not. Or he could think, I won;t be able to eat all this unless I go out and have a shit and then come back to eat.

It may also depend on how much he wants to eat cats have taste and prefer some things over others.

I assume film and moving images did. Or are you talking 18th century or earlier ?

But you have to look at it otherwise you wouldn;t know whether or not you l iked the image/sound or not, just like looking at cat shit on the lawn.

ldren will die before the age or 10.

believe you of course.

I'd prefer to have soemthing like the advertising standards look at such th ings otherwoise we might decide smoking is good for you and someone might d ecide making a profit from it is a good idea then you'll get more ads promo ting it as health giving properties. But I;ll have to buy some share in ciggy companies first.

You don't have to touch the shit.

I have no problem with cigarette ads. People can decide for themselves if they believe the advert. All ads lie anyway, so what's new? People know to take everything they say with a pinch of salt. There should be no advertising authority whatsoever.

So he leaves some, risking that it might not be stolen and you won't give him any more. Stupid animal.

You're just giving him too much. My cats will eat a quarter of a can of meat at a time each.

They're awfully fussy, you'd think they were all gay. A dog will eat scrap anything from your plate, my cats eat nothing but fish and cheese, unless they haven't eaten for a few days, then they'll eat almost anything.

One of my friends had a VHS video camera (the whole full size VHS tape, and the camera was about 2 or 3 foot long).

Same methods can be used to teach any cat. They don't deliberately ignore any human other than their owner.

I'd say it's easy enough, but very easy for kittens.

Actually, without replacing the whole door, it could be quite difficult to get rid of the evidence of it completely.
