So on the last family Zoom call, yesterday, I mentioned that the cat had unveiled a new behavior, unrolling and munching on, the toilet paper. After he completely unspooled half a roll, I resolved to outwit him.
My initial thought was to get a metal shield like device to make it more difficult for him, but since this is a rental unit I was somewhat limited in what I could do. I was wandering through Amazon (searching under “cat proof toilet paper holder”) and was browsing a likely candidate under “Customer Reviews” and someone was having problems with the product and suggested an alternate.
Using a one gallon zip lock bag, with holes cut in the side to take the center spool. We will see how that works, but the current score is Cat 0 – Human 1. I think I am safely ahead, provided he doesn’t evolve opposable thumbs.
In other news today at church, they have removed the ‘every other pew kept empty‘ protocol. We are still wearing masks, but it is a sign that we are putting some of the craziness behind us.
Speaking of crazy, tomorrow I am officially two weeks out from my J&J shot and I believe I am officially immune from COVID-19. I will assume I am also immune from variants until I see evidence that shows otherwise.
The other day I had to go to a liquor store to get some more Kahlua for my morning coffee. In WY they have privately owned stores, unlike OR where you have to buy from the official state-owned stores. I was amazed by the difference that free enterprise offers. The breadth and depth of alcoholic beverages was amazing. I picked up a bottle of Jägermeister, just because I can.
