The house next to them had 5 cats living there, and two of the cats were intensely interested in the U-Hauls, kept climbing up the ramps and looking around. One of the guys said, "Just shut him up in there and keep him out of the way." Actually not a bad idea, as someone could easily trip over the thing. I introduced myself, having a cat at the time too, and warned them. "Around here a cat is worth about 4 law students. And about 7 attorneys. Just a tip."

They come in from groceries every now and then but I have trained my Daisy Kitty to kill. I keep a photo next to her food lest she forgets ;). My son would attach a flashlight on the end of his BB gun and gun 'em down on the front porch at night. He would scream like a girl if one came near him...hell he still does. We had a war with moths too. We would hold up my Bo Bo towards the light in the garage at night and whisper "Get 'um!" Oh how he loved that. Poor little anoles. If they find their way in the house they never leave...Daisy thinks they were bred for her pleasure to conquer. Used to feed the plethora of June bugs to our pet turtle. I believe in the circle of life, don't ya know. Daisy keeps eying the hamsters though...not gonna happen. Hmmm...I wonder if hamsters like cockroaches?

Maybe they went out and got jobs? I’ve noticed my e-mail spam level has gone up considerably.
