My wife thought it was wonderful when bear started getting into our garbage, she watched him a couple times.. then he started getting into the horse grain, then he tore the bird feeders apart, THEN he tore the chicken wire open, ripped the boards off the side of the shed and ate 4 of the six chickens...
Once they figure something out only TERROR or death will stop it from getting worse. I am all for scaring the poo clear out of them and running them off, but am not convinced it will make them stay AWAY from people.
Tha Calico cat! I wondered where it got off to after all them stories were written about her! I think younger cats are hilarious to watch. My wife really likes her cat, and it IS a really dog like cat, begging to be petted and wanting to be in your lap constantly... but its STILL a cat.. When she wanted the cat I put my foot down, told her there was NO WAY!!!!! yeah we have a cat...
The one thing I do refuse to do is... ANYTHING related to it.. cleaning the litter box or even feeding it, AND the litter box stays out in the garage.. The more I try to keep it away from me the more it struggles to get near me.. I hate the thing, but when we come home, it runs to ME, rubs my leg... It WAS always jumping in my lap, and I ws always pushing it off.. then one day, I sat down and put my Pizza in my lap, and guess who jumped on my lap??? yeah.. the cat ALMOST DIED. I had its scrawny neck in my hands.. the only thing that saved it was the look of sheer terror in my wifes eyes.. Surprisingly... that seemed to cure the cat of wanting in my lap.. so we get along fairly well now.
