Critter-Ridder works. Here are the rest of the photos.

Yuck!

I saw this linked elsewhere, just watch this robot perform Yellow drum machine robot.

I totally wish I invented this device. It takes compressed air (actually R134a like in air conditioning) and will spray your cat when activated. (Note: your cat will not become refrigerated unless you hold the can upside down.)

After scrounging for 4 AAA’s you are offered with two modes: motion triggers beep only –or– motion triggers beep & SPRAY. Guess which one cats don’t like? Once your cat figures out that after the beep comes the compressed air, fluffy has already torn out of the room before the beep has finished. (Note: This saves canned air as you can leave the unit on “beep” to annoy your spouse and pets). I got it from petguys.com.

This photo would be funnier if it was one of our cats, but it is an artist’s rendition of a cat getting sprayed with compressed air. The site for this crazy thing is loaded with animated GIFs… SSScat (If you get one of these – leave it on for one minute before you try to trigger it, it has some fuzzy [pun intended] logic so it doesn’t false alarm — wouldn’t want to waste the air!)

This guy has it hot for coffee- while on the bicycle. Very definitive guide to transporting (hot) coffee on two wheels.

Joe, Joe Bean,

Thanks dude

Okay- as a public service message: If you have a Moen 7570 one handle pull out spout handle faucet that is a few years old- look under your kitchen sink, it’s probably leaking. You’ll probably need a “One Touch vacuum breaker conversion kit” Model 100593 so the stinking thing doesn’t leak.

Why does it leak? Because the vacuum breaker (plastic cylinder cowl over the stem body that has holes covered by a rubber burp valve) wasn’t well designed so the inside body of the faucet drips water occasionally and will be impossible to find the source of. Seriously, the water drips from inside the faucet, above sink level and comes out of a random hole (in a 3-holed sink base).

Moen of course will replace the part for free if you contact them- but you’ll have to pull your hair out in frustration first, trying to find the leak, then call/email them (it will make me feel better, that is what I went through).

Of course if you are keeping score- Price Pfister charges $5 for “shipping” if you need replacement parts. It is 50/50 if you get the right part, also. They are stingy with O-rings, so make sure you ask.

Or, hire a plumber.

Update 11-2-2005: I noticed a lot of people finding this article from searching the Internets. You’ll find that the faucet leaks under the sink, ie: in the cabinet area. This will occur infrequently, usually after the sink has run. You may notice a few drip-drip sounds, or reach for some treasure stashed under your sink and realize it is wet. It is the transport from the valve body to the spray head that leaks, not a constant leak at the nozzle.
