chiltonstar Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 My cat has to work for a living. She sits on my feet on a cold night when I'm observing (Chief Foot Warming Executive) then sprints off to zap anything small and furry to protect me from attack (Chief Rodent Control Officer).

Ags Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 (edited) It's actually the first light photo from my ASI485MC when I got it a few months ago. Omar Dog is 13 now and doesn't get too excited about cats any more. He even learned to be friends with a lost racing pigeon we adopted. Gorgeous cat! We used to have a gentle cat named Merlin that kept getting beaten up by a blackbird pair living in our hedge!

Chris Lucky you. My neighbor has 5 outdoor cats that think our yard is theirs as well, and yet I still have to trap our ubiquitous Texas field/attic rats. How did you train yours to do their job? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
