My black cat also is the cul-de-sac monitor. If you don't live here, he knows it and growls at you. Granted, he's inside looking out a window, but still, good first line warning.

He doesn't like - in order - UPS, cars with loud stereos, FEDEX, the garbage truck, the recycle truck, and any car that doesn't belong in the neighborhood. He likes one black dog, and that's because the dog is about half nuts like he his.

I consider Oliver to be my first line warning system. The house alarm is second. Oh yeah, he hates the house alarm and the smoke detector, as well as the ice machine in the fridge.

If you have a long(ish)-haired cat, they tend to shed enough hair for you to be able to handspun enough yarn annually for a set of wool hats and mittens if not a full size wool shirt.


Loose cat hair may help supplement the lint from your dryer.

Just comb the cat daily , or ask Blast to do it for you , LOL , and collect the hair.

And they said it couldn't be done...

Hiking Florida to Argentina with a cat

Although I'm sure my cats would look at me and say, "You want me to do WHAT???"

Just read this and wondered if it was Blast:

In Cleveland, Texas (near Houston), a man had to be airlifted to an emergency trauma unit after losing a fight with a house cat. He was even armed with a knife as he took on the beast, but somehow the attacking cat caused him to lose his balance and fall on the blade. [YourHoustonNews.com, 5-10-2011]
