Our next Spanaway Marek's vaccine party will be Thursday June 16th. I'm thinking about 4:00 but would be amenable to a different time if anyone were desperate to come and couldn't make it.

Oh man!
Be more careful!
Feral cat may have followed your poofy white cat in the house.
Glad he didn't spray all over your house!!
Gawd, getting cat spray all over everything is such a lasting pain...and cats keep on spraying over the other cats' spray.yuck!!
Bobcats spray really really STRONG almost gag you spray.
And they spray everywhere.
Very territorial cats.
I am not sure if cougars do that, have to ask Stumpfarmer or Cheryl, they have cougars about.
I think only male cougars spray to mark territory, females spray to mark dens, but I could be wrong. They're not the agressive markers that bobcats are unless they're in a state of overpopulation.
I meant to say, about Ogress' orchard: the only time I see bear sign here is when the orchard is in fruit, and one reason we keep the cattle in the orchard in September and October is to keep the windfalls from drawing bears. In Missoula, there's an ordinance against letting fruit lie on the ground, and a volunteer fruit-picking unit to see it doesn't happen: there are wildlife corridors (including Rattlesnake Creek Canyon, which is on my list of "get out of the car and stretch your legs" recommendations for long-distance travellers, about three miles north of I-90, and a beautiful place with about two miles of flat trail before the climbing starts) that don't get interrupted until the middle of Glacier NF and they get black bears in town every year, and grizzlies every once in a while.
My rule about predator threat assessment is assume you do have coyotes and raccoons (I saw both when I lived on Beacon Hill in Seattle) as well as some sort of avian predator. Assume you might have bears and cougars. But fence against your neighbor's dogs and don't be too trusting of your own. Remember that cat doors are an open invitation to anything the same size or smaller than your cat, and some of those are the things that carry rabies (skunks, possums, and small raccoons most commonly, but a friend in Oregon ended up with a mink in his house, and those things are nuts). There are always mice, and if you don't see them it's because there's something eating them, probably rats. And you can't exterminate everything that's a threat to your animals, so you need to build and manage against them instead.
Right on sister!!!!!!!!
And take note all:
Cats LOVE to squirt IN your car!
You will NEVER get the stink out.
had one "do" my roomate's car, and FOREVER it REEKED so bad he could never ride with the windows up..the squirt had run down the windsheild & in the defroster, all through the seats..ALWAYS roll your windows up before dinner.
And check for chipmunks, squirrels, mice & rats in your generator before you turn it on..they like freezers washers & dryers & car that are sitting for more than 24 hrs, too!!

All shipped--except 3 of the Muscovies (silvers) were mine.

I don't know. It was dark, black skies and torrential raining when I left for work this morning...I have no idea....I went out & checked on all of my babies in the brooder, coop and horse trailer. They looked fine and everyone made it without heat lamps for most of the afternoon even though it's in the 50s outside.

What a bad thing. I'm counting on people's imaginations to provide sufficient modifiers.
