Default cat remedy

Well all I can say is that you are living dangerously if you don't tell
your 'missus'!! She'll have your g*ts for garters!! ROFLMHO!!

Good luck with the target though......mmm, maybe I should hire you to
call to my backyard!! LOL

Anyway, that reminds me we have white cat roaming around our place at
the moment. Its going to get zapped.
Know just the bloke to do it.....
Now people, I wont electrocute any innocents. Only the missus roams
around the back yard and "the TARGET" so we should be fairly safe "if" I
tell her....
I "may" forget to.....Depends on whats for tea tonight.

"Danger mad scientist at work" sign on door. "Keep out"

Damn Pizza again.
OOOHH I'm tempted...

This is too much!! now I'm laughing hysterically and wishing I had
a transister radio!! ROFLMHO!!

I've heard stories about ignition coils in the past and have seen
first hand the reaction of goats to an electric fence.

Don't want to lose my goldfish once I put them in the
fishpond....won't make me very happy at all!!

Having a small pond and a small fish population, eg 5 goldfish we
noticed them disappearing at nights.
Suspecting foul play, we rigged up an electronic low voltage
transformer, with a ignition coil and wired it around the pond.
Testing it personally it seemed that it worked. It didnt seem to
kill humans, but gave them a shock. (Some unkind people would say
I tested it on an animal doing this) At around two oclock, a dog
completed the circuit. The loud yelping as it ran for cover woke
the whole court and was the talk for days. The neighborhood kids
didnt come round for some time either. As the current was measured
in microamps it was safe enough. So be sure to know what youre
doing before setting things up for possums. Theyre not likely to
be standing in a pool of water like this dumb dog was.
The voltage on an old valve radio can be from 200 volts to over
380 volts from memory so isnt the safest, as current would also
be excessive. Do not use it.
Its current is measured to some 200 Milliamps.
If youre not sure, use a transistor radio (grin)

My Dad used to tell a great story about when he was plagued with
cats. he was an amateur radio enthusiast and in those days
radios were built with Vacuum tubes and valves which ran off
incredibly high voltage and reasonable amperage, so the trick
was a sheet of wire mesh with a bowl of milk in the middle - one
wire from the power supply on the wire one in the milk. Cat
completes the circuit , shoots six feet in the air, hair
standing on end and blue flames coming out its ears - comes down
stiff as a board. Claims he got 6 in one night, but by the time
the 4th one approached, his mate was hysterical with laughter
and missed the last 3.


Gee and I have an old Kreisler valve job sitting in the laundry
(still works radio that is) only 35 years old. Damn feral got
into my blood & bone the other night but have not been able to
get any mince I would eat so it lives a bit longer.
