Your pets

I can smell the odor of skunk right now.   I finally boarded off the space under my side passage door where coons and skunks were moving back & forth from the street to our yard.   Cut down big time on the beastie traffic.   Now the occasional one doesn't seem so bad.   Luckily my cat is way too cautious to mess with a coon but he does go after the odd skunk now&then.

Now that you've mentioned it: my mother and I know a guy in Frisco who happens to live in a skunk free-area ... or so they thought they did. I saw a little rascal prancing his way from open sight between the bushes and a house. "I think I just saw something black with a white stripe on its back running away from open sight." "You serious? ... S%^t."

I don't know how the crime is back in the Frisco/Sausalito area, but it appears that skunks and other mess-ups are a serious problem next to crime.

 ... That guy has three cats, one of which had a bad case of "smelly" ... and the poor little things hated (and still does hate) water.

You sure have, but one extra time wouldn't hurt.

... Now, now, be nice to the cat.

The 3 amigos are loose since a couple of weeks now; no casualties to report.

you came to the wrong neighborhood 

it's a blustery night and my tabby is curled up on some shoes by the front door

Do any other owners notice their cats licking plastic bags?
