Re: Notable and quotable
Jimbo, that sounds like it could be a health problem - bad kidneys or urinary infection. They begin to associate the pain with the litter box and start pissin' in other places. They ain't the sharpest knives in the drawer.Jimbo wrote:Thanks Cranky, Ill try that. There's one chunk of carpet in particular the cat decided is her bathroom. I have it peeled back at the moment and spraying enzymes and all sorts of crap to get the smell out, baking soda on the pad under. etc. I tried this cat repel spray on it, after a while it started peeing there again, driving me batshit crazy, seriously ready to punt the damn feline. No worries, I wont, she's sweet otherwise, but damn it already.

Re: Notable and quotable
I don't see the need for the cat hatred being displayed by some members here unless it is just to try to get a rise out of people who do like cats. I would like to prevent this subject from taking this thread further off topic and try not to think less of you members who seem to take joy in tormenting or killing something that has done you no harm for no apparent reason. HD is one of my happy places and I would like to keep it that way and I will try to refrain from posting about pets in the future. I hope you other members do the same and hope nobody ever treats any of your beloved pets as you seem to be willing to treat other peoples.

Cranky, no worries, pissed at my cat yes, but if you think I hate her Ill post a picture of her sleeping in my lap. She's a sweety, just dumb as a box of rocks.

Re: Notable and quotable
I think the threads officially gone off topic lol. And for the record, would never hurt any animal i don't intend to eat. Just not a cat person. So long as they don't crap in my garden, they are free to roam (unless they get in the yard when the dog is out, she does hate them . . . never used to til she got sprayed by a skunk she thought was a cat). So hope you don't think it's actually a true "hatred" thing. To each their own. Some don't like dog. Chinese restaurants like both.cranky wrote:I don't see the need for the cat hatred being displayed by some members here unless it is just to try to get a rise out of people who do like cats.

Re: Notable and quotable
I hate cats, but no animal ever deserves to be tortured. humans, meh, they should know better and can look out for themselves, but animals, they're off limits. Heck i yell at my kids if they break branches off a tree for no reason or whack a tree with the axe "just because". We're at the top of the food chain so it's our responsibility, blah, blah, blah.
But I still hate cats.

Re: Notable and quotable
My dog fuckin loves kittys too. See the avatar. He's been trying to get it on with the cat for years but she's playing hard to get. He recently started wearing them cat ears thinking he's gonna win her over finally. I dunno man. I told him to put it away, she's a different species for Christs sake, but he wont listen to me. Stubborn ass kraut dachshund he is.

Re: Notable and quotable
EDIT: I was way out of line. I apologize to anyone I offended with my comment here, and fully understand my sarcastic humor often has no place here, especially regarding pets. My drinking and off-topic (off-topic) posting got the better of me.

HoundDog on soldering -
4. Read the sticky on "how to solder". It's simple. Yes you have to use a torch. You don't want to burn your fingers? Well don't touch the hot ass pipe you just watched solder get melted by. Come on there buttercup, you're building a still to make hard liquor. Keep an Aloe Vera plant on hand just in case.
kinda funny... I've been a chef for twenty years and know better.... but I still tried to pick up a pipe I had just soldered. fssssssssssstt
