Stuff that Works: ssscat

Posted on August 25th, 2008 in Pets by Justin

So, one of our cats has taken to urinating in a certain corner of our basement lately. Yes, I know, it’s disgusting. We’ve started the cleaning process to get the funk out.

To keep her from going back to the corner we bought an ssscat device. It’s a stupid name, but it works. It’s an air canister with a motion censor on it. If something comes within a meter of the sensor it spits out a stream of air. Freaks he hell out of the cat. It works.

Oh, and yes, we had her tested for a urinary tract infection. She’s fine, it’s just a behavior thing with her.

Bad Timing

Apparently trying to check into a hotel with cased guns will get you arrested in Denver, CO. Seems that there was increased police presence at the hotel because Nancy Pelosi (and I’m sure other elected officials) were staying there for the DNC convention.

From what I can tell that man didn’t do anything illegal, but Denver PD arrested him anyway. I’m sure this guy can relate. Denver has some ability to duck state preemption of state laws but it should still be impossible for them to redefine what carrying a concealed weapon means. Provided that all the guns were unloaded and cased he should be clear. “Should be” being the operative phrase here.

Remind me never to vacation in Denver.

Here’s a handy aggregator sucking up all the posts from the various bloggers that were there as they write about the event.

I can’t wait for Tamara’s take on the LDA pistols they used. This is why. She eventually stopped carrying them as stock items when she was working for Coal Creek Armory due to QC problems.
