I just love it

I have had a few anomalies and weird things happening in my house and gardens recently.

A few were:

Huge piles of dirty laundry discovered each day.

The sink full of unwashed dishes and pans

Strange smell coming from my attic, I don’t have an attic that I know of.

Small disposable nappies all over the garden, and so much more.

Setting up a CCTV system I reviewed the footage taken the next day, the results shocked me.

The dirty laundry and dishes were put there by me! I must be sleep trashing the house.

The cats were turning on the heating, they also seemed to be running a whore house, a stream of Toms came through the window, and the females were all dressed in hotpants and boob tubes.

The Chicken was acting as the boss; she was wearing nappies so that her shite all over the floor didn’t give the game away.

I also saw a huge amount of what must be slave cats, the under stair cupboard had been turned into a chop shop, stolen wheelbarrows were being cut up for scrap.

Am I the only person to have discovered the secret world of cats and a chicken that thinks it’s a pimp?

Vlog dealing with how to deal with dangerous crocs

Be gentle, its my first vlog!

Australia has the reputation of having the World's largest collection of poisonous, (and otherwise dangerous) wildlife. ALL of these animals should be treated with great care.....Most are found outside of urban areas...and do not present a problem to the average tourist....Enter their domain, however, and/or provoke them, and you are asking for real trouble!...particularly in a remote area, where it would be difficult for Emergency Services to access (we have a lot of those)....you've been warned!






Even the kangaroos seem to be getting out of hand!





Any comments, or questions, are welcome.............

If somebody broke in your house would your dog attack or be a wimp?

When scientists sequenced the chimp genome in 2005, it confirmed that chimpanzees are our closest living relatives. Of course, they’re cute; they look like us. They have big ears like the Europeans, long toes like the English, a bad accent like the French, small noses like the Africans, short legs like the Japanese, large testicles like the Russians, small dícks like the Australians and an IQ to match the Americans.

These clever animals can be taught to use tools to build their own shelters and we like to think of them as cute and huggable but those who think they are peace-loving creatures will have another think coming.

The truth is that they are cruel and aggressive fighters that form gangs to plunder neighboring tribes in search of food, females and/or territory, leaving behind only devastation and maimed opponents. Any infant chimps taken with their mothers during such a raid are simply killed and sometimes eaten.

It is estimated that as much as 50% of all male chimpanzees are being hunted down by other males and killed. And they do not only fight neighboring tribes, they also form factions within their own tribe and kill one another. Such killings normally happen to settle leadership and/or mating rights.

When we compare chimpanzee behavior with human behavior it is easy to believe that chimpanzees share more than 98% of their DNA with us. And it is even easier to see where our willingness to kill and to wage war comes from.


Still think they're cute?

My oldest surviving cat, Moe, is missing tonight.

He started acting strange a week or two ago. Changed his sleeping spot of more than a decade in the master bedroom to a treadmill downstairs in the basement. He used to love being held but now not for more than a few moments. He has started running at full speed when going anywhere in the house. As if he is racing something or being chased. For the past decade(s) when outside he would rarely be more than 30 yards from the door, often in plain sight and always when I called him he would come quickly. Usually he would go out for only a few hours, then come back in. Never, ever, did he miss a 6:30 dinner call. Let out after dinner he would usually be back within 40 minutes. Until a few weeks ago he had the most affectionate look on his face when laying on me or at my feet. He has lost over 10 pounds in the past decade, but the vet says that isn't unusual. He is pushing 20 years old and has shared all of the events in this household of that period. It isn't unfair to say he is a part of who I am. Some may remember a video I posted this year of him making sure my blood sugar is acceptable or how he probably saved my life by biting my nose to awaken me the night my blood sugar suddenly dropped to 33 while I slept. Sudden changes.

In the past week or so he has begun acting sometimes when I come in the room like, who are you?; No immediate recognition and it takes him a few seconds to calm down. He has suddenly in the past week begun drinking a lot of water. At the sink he will put his head under the faucet and drink until I wonder where he is putting it. He no longer likes the bedroom and if carried into it, runs away as soon as he can to the basement and hides. He has suddenly stopped coming into the bed to check on me. That was of course the most noticeable thing as until last week he would lay on my chest for hours. Let out, he vanishes into the woods and takes hours to come back. Yesterday he was out from 8AM to 5PM and not a trace of him did I find when I wandered around calling his name. Then at 5 he showed up like nothing was unusual, ate his dinner and went out as normal afterwards and came back 2 hours later. Unusual, but not a calamity.

Today at 3PM he wanted to go out and I let him and the other cat out. At 6:15 PM the other cat was waiting at the door for his dinner but no Moe. I fed the one and went out looking for Moe and calling his name. No trace of him. He has never before missed dinner. After sundown I began wandering my woods with a flashlight calling him and looking along the game trails. Not only is his fur snow white (stands out pretty good, even in the woods, but he has a reflective collar on and I expected the flashlight to at least pick up on that. Nothing.

It is pushing 1AM now and I am very worried for him. There was a light rain at 9PM and I certainly expected him to show up at that as he hates rain. I don't know what to think. Did he have a heart attack? Did a coyote or fox get him? Are the changes in behavior I have noted in the past two weeks the result of a stroke or alzheimers (yes cats get it too, in cats it is called feline cognitive disorder (FCD)? If I am not finding him with the flashlight and he isn't responding I know he went at least several hundred yards away, if not more. I am hoping that he didn't get lost. I am reading tonight on FCD and getting lost in familiar places is one of the symptoms. So is forgetting who a human owner is. Also their hearing goes. I haven't really seen a sign of hearing loss, but I am now worried. Not coming when called is a total departure from two decades of prior behavior.

Despite being thought of as cute and cuddly throughout our collective childhoods, mice are not welcome guests in many households. It's all fun and games being an animal-loving Disney princess until you catch one of these tiny, furry beasts scurrying around in your home. Not only are they destructive, eating their way into your food storage, destroying appliances, and causing property damage, but mice are also disease vectors and can pass on terrible illnesses through direct contact with them or indirect contact with their feces or saliva. Not to mention you'll probably have bags under your eyes from all that scampering in the night keeping you awake.
Fortunately, there is a common kitchen ingredient that is guaranteed to repel mice from your home: cinnamon.
These clever critters reproduce fairly quickly, so using cinnamon is a humane way of getting rid of mice without having to resort to genocide. If you suffer from an infestation and taking the chemical route with fumigation doesn't sound so hot, then you can choose the organic option to keep the pesky rodent problem at bay — while also keeping your environment smelling absolutely delicious.
Use cinnamon in stick or oil form to ward cute critters off.
Cinnamon is a widely available kitchen condiment that not only tastes great on French toast, but also can be used to drive away pests like mice. While the spice has a pleasing aroma to us humans, the reverse is the case when it comes to those furry rodents. What makes cinnamon so potent against mice is the strength of the scent: they can't stand it. Bad news for them, great news for you.
To repel mice, you can use either fresh cinnamon or cinnamon oil. According to Hunker, you can tie together bundles of fresh cinnamon sticks in a pouch and leave them at strategic locations in the house, especially where food is kept. If you have cinnamon powder, you can also tie it up in sachets or sprinkle it around.
