My childhood cats hated their bells so much they learned how to abuse the breakaway safety clasps on their collars and get them off entirely. Sneaky indeed.

I think it might be a bell, but definitely some kind of collar accessory thing.

That was a fascinating read, thank you for sharing! The fact that Tolkien’s world can be analyzed to this degree and still make sense is absolutely mind boggling to me.

Yeah it’s #2 I have the problem with. If I’m not there when it happens the smell diffuses out into the house and lingers even once the source is disposed of. I think half the problem is my cats make no attempt to bury it with the pellets where before with the litter they would entirely cover it. I’m surprised to hear people had problems with smell with clay litter, never noticed it myself. It was the dust that drove me to switch (plus cost and environmental stuff, but if I’m being honest the dust is what finally got me to research alternatives)

Do you have a good solution for the smell? I recently switched to wood pellets and I swear I can’t enter the room if my cat has recently used the box.

Yes, stop doing engineering and do something actually valuable for the station! Like grow hydroponic weed, or leave vials of thermite everywhere, or beat the mime senseless…

If they made mystery flavored drinks like mystery flavored air heads, I’d buy them.

I bet you could Photoshop in one! Probably would be less blurry 😂
