Hellhound update

[robinmckinley]

 
So far so good.  We’ve now had four, enzyme-laced, meals in a row-two lunches and two suppers-where hellhounds simply ate, you know, like dogs.  Put food down, food disappears.  Sigh.  Magic.  I’m also looking forward to being able to walk around town without worrying about the sort of sudden . . . hmm . . . extrusion . . . that cannot be picked

The Schrodinger picture actually originally appeared on Cute Overload. You can see the entry here: http://mfrost.typepad.com/cute_overload/2006/05/cat_box.html

But the basic summary is the cats put themselves into the boxes. The people were taking out some trash, dropped the boxes, and when they came back, the boxes were occupied. And my internet is so slow that by the time I post this, ten people will have beaten me to it.

Slugs

Regarding the ongoing battle against evil, slimy, flower-and-vegetable eating vermin, you might try leaving out dishes/cans of slightly watered beer. My grandmother has a huge flower garden (over an acre) and a smaller vegetable patch out on the Olympic Peninsula in Washington, where the slugs start at about an inch and get bigger. She keeps large coffee cans full of flat beer in among the flowers (she puts them out at night and brings them in every morning). The slugs are drawn to the beer - I have not the faintest idea why - and they crawl into the cans and die. I've tried this as well on a smaller scale - and it works. I don't have the motivation to mess with the cans every morning, so I make them pretty and leave them out there. You do have to replace the beer and clean them out every so often, depending upon the size of the slug population.

Good Luck!

Cats in boxes

[jry]

Glad to hear the hellhounds are eating their enzymes.

Around here all it takes to get a cat to sit in a box is to place the box on the floor. Actually the floor is optional. Here are a few examples. And lots more here.

Even the definition of "box" is pretty fluid as here.

My favorite icanhascheezburger was the recent peer pressure one with cats in flower pots. Cats just do these things.

(BTW, to link to a specific lolcat on ICHC, click on the title of the picture in the orange box then grab the link from the browser (or right click the title if you're using Firefox and select "Copy link location"))

I'm probably the thirty-fifth person to answer this, but:

Under each picture on http://icanhascheezburger.com/ is a little box that's labeled "Copy & paste to your blog". Copy it, making sure you get the whole thing, and paste it wherever you want the picture to show up. If you just want to link to the page, grab the whole thing, and then delete everything except the first "phrase" of the HTML: the stuff inbetween the first set of < and >. Right after that, type what you want your link to say. After that, type . The stuff between the first sentence and the will become a link, and display blue and underlined, or however the viewer's browser handles links.

So here's a link to the page.

Here's your picture:

Boxkitties

I have two cats (well, at home, an hour and a half away from the dorms, which are disgustingly animaless- how are you supposed to live without animals? I don't think it's possible) and both of them *love* boxes. Especially shoe-boxes- I generally keep one or two on my floor just for them. They'll walk in my room, see a shoe-box lying on the floor, and just go sit in it with their tail curled around them for about five minutes, and then they curl up, still in the shoe-box. Isabel, the smaller of the two but still medium sized, will even try to curl up in a Converse box, which she has no chance of squeezing into, even if she sleeps in meat-loaf pose. The two of them (they don't get along so well now they're not kittens) will even sit in boxes on opposite sides of the room and just watch each other, provided that Isabel will actually let Caesar in the room, since Isabel thinks of my room as her territory.
