we had a bit of an issue with my sister’s hamster getting down the central air vent when we were younger. somehow that little thing got through the vent or lifted it up and got down there, and we heard him scritching and scratching, and had to find a way to get him out. since the ducts twist and turn, we finally just tied a grape to a string and hung it down there until we knew he’d latched on. it was like hamster fishing! we got that fuzzy little sucker right out of there, then made sure that he had no way of escaping. his enclosure was more escape proof than alcatraz after that. such a daring little beady eyed ball of fur.

Just couple of doors up from where i live! was woken up and saw engine!

Okay, so when will we be seeing the new “Cats-n-vacs” category?

She should have just called Wallace and Gromit with their BunVac 6000.

OK running home to hoover my entire flat. I might get lucky, right? Schloop – old fluff – schloop – stray earring – schloop – ooh, kitteh!

“i understand if ya dont put a sock over it, your kittie will get a hickie.”
snort.
(laughing hysterically at funny self- milk flies out nose)

i had to.

Why do I have a terrible vision of everyone putting socks over vacuums and wanting to try this at home now??

I remember when one time somebody was showing how they sucked gophers up out of holes with a high powered shopvac, and then had a nightcam in the tub of the shopvac, so everytime the sucked a critter up, you’d see the surprised look on their faces, LOL!! (don’t worry, folx, it never hurted them, as soon as they saw a critter, they shut the vac off right away, so the critter could breathe!)

KYOOT KITLING!! But where’s its bruddas and sistas?

Just so thankful and relieved little kitten got rescued. Happy loving, forever home, little angel!

Is it just me, or is a “vibrascope camera” something you shouldn’t admit to in public? Another British newspaper just ran a story on the history of vibrators, so maybe my mind is in the gutter again.
