I'm so old I Remember when:

I remember when vacuum cleaners would pick things up on the first pass and they lasted 30+ years.

I had to stop leaving the main coop door open when my horse decided it was great to hang out in the coop and would lift the lid off of the feeder and help himself to the chicken feed.

I have a similar problem with a neighbour cat who comes in the run and coop to eat chicken feed.
When my chickens free range, I always put the door on a hinge and leave a small opening. If I make the opening so small the cat can’t come in, the chickens can’t either.
Any ideas to solve this ‘problem’ are welcome.

I remember working on a student project for a Philips vacuum cleaner . The aim was to minimise everything so it would last at least 5 years, but not much longer.

Well, the 2nd amendment is still alive and well. Just saying.

Possibly not outside the US.

Eliminate the cat.

I had a skunk that was going into the coop at night, eating the chicken feed. I set a live trap in the chicken door for one night and caught and eliminated the culprit. Since then I keep their little door closed at night..

Might be worthwhile for me to pay attention to whom I’m replying.

Monky Ward catalogs... In an outhouse.

I remember the outhouse at my great grandmother house and the chamber pots inside the house back about 58-59 years ago
but not the catalogs

I remember when pharmacies dispensed meds in a little white paper bag and they put a lollipop in it if the meds were for a child.

When my sons were young in the nineties banks and some stores still gave out lollipops
