    @NTA that too...although one has a bell when she is outside, the other manages to slip it off so we dont bother putting his on.

    Cat owner once proudly told me their cat learned to stalk silently with a bell.

    Ours does that. Jingles the little bell like a fucking Morris Dancer every morning when she wakes us up to get fed, or whenever she wants attention. But perfectly capable of moving fast with no noise from the bell at all

    Cats don't have owners they have staff.

    @Snowy I use spray stuff which shoots foam about 5-7m onto the nest, soaks it and kills the buggers.

    Found a huge one - about 60cm - in the loft years ago. Scary Alien looking things

    @taniwharugby Nah, less active.

    *"The best way to get rid of the paper wasp nests was to douse them in fly spray in the evening, when the paper wasps are less active and less likely to sting.

    "[It's also] quite possible to just simply put a plastic bag over [the nest], pick it up and put it in the freezer and freeze them.'*

    Like the idea of freezing the fluffybunnies though.

    This is great, long range

    Wifes fluffybunny of a cat that leaves white fur on everything, I can no longer wear black or any dark clothing. My All Blacks jersey gets pulled out for games and its fucken covered in fur after one game. fluffybunny also vomits everywhere, not once but at least twice every time. Best bit is when you hear it vomit in the night and you have to look for the surprise in the morning.

    @chimoaus It was the fur and vomiting that did it. My partner has three. Place is like a fucking snowstorm and everything you eat always has at least one hair in it.

    Not at all why I live alone

    That's the type of cat that goes mysteriously missing.....

    We had that a few years back too. Our then cat - lethal little bastard - sorted them out one evening.

    We barely have to feed our cat:

    Not actually him (but identical). Rats, mice, and rabbits are too scared to come anywhere near our place with him around. So he goes and finds them and kindly brings them in to show off. Known as Mark Dennis (as in Dark Menace).

    Rats are sorted -now I could start on fucking wasps...

    Stupid ginger cünt.

    That's the problem right there. Nothing good has ever come from a ginger.

    Take that back. Bumble was my favourite cat ever. Fat lazy ginger waste of space he was.

    Anyway, current cats have made appearance on TSF previously. Am very fond of Misty and Cleo for killing the snake.

    The snake.

    Potentially (but may be not) a coastal taipan.

    And you've got a few insects in your roof...

    We like Misty and Cleo.

    Fucking motion sensitive taps. I have lost count of the times I have looked like a stupid fluffybunny trying to get the bloody things to work.

    Hahaha

    Reminds me of a time when a mate of Chinese ethnicity couldn't get them to operate at work or our pub of choice for after work drinks. We convinced him for a good while it was racist.

    Was wondering why on earth this thread wandered down into talking about cats.

    But then I remember it's the Grumpy Old Man thread and thus, anything goes.

    And it totally belongs here, because I fucking HATE cats. Passionately. They can all fuck off and die.

    paper wasps-can't stand them. Flyspray so they are stunned then return later and plastic bag the unconscious evil little buggers.

    Worked with one bloody woman years ago who kept banging on about "not offending Jesus" and how "the devil was all around". Hate that sort of shit.

    Someone printed some pages with a faint image of the devil and slipped them into the paper of the photocopier she used a lot. Seriously freaked out when she noticed - she was convinced the bloody thing was possessed.

    Fark, it was fun to watch.
