Oh, thank you for the confirmation that others do this. :)

Usually I also fill in an answer from the cat, mostly along the lines of "I don't care where my sister/brother is, just pay attention to me".

I have heard that people with a lot of time on their hands have taken email addresses like those in the letter and signed them up to all sorts of things. I presume they do it to help these folk have discussions with more people and never to annoy them as much as they annoy others. Right?

No.

Something I have used if there's nothing convenient nearby like towels, is to start loudly hissing at both cats. Really can throw them. Certainly not foolproof, but if you can do it before or as close to the start of conflict, it may help. If they're already at WW3 status, it's less likely to work.

Certainly. It won't stop the mining companies whining about the royalties though in the hopes they can get it removed. And it's great news that coal is becoming more uneconomical.

I think you would get a lot further with getting people to keep cats contained if there was better education on pet ownership and various programs to assist owners to transition to using cat runs, etc. Plus laws that were phased in with increasing strictness. Btw, have 2 cats+cat run.

Yeah, well I did not know what I was dealing with until afterwards, so I was super cautious. I had to be brave for my cats. 😂

... After much adrenaline inspired activity, we got it into the box. Took some pictures and then got it out of the house. When I put it in the garden, the local birds started going off.

Anyway, we found out it was a tree snake and basically harmless.

Unfortunately they will just do what they want and use whatever means they have to get it.

What an insurance nightmare! 🤪😁
