What's "earthquake putty"?

@FrayedBear [amazon.com]

I use this on all my valuables I don't want broken by cats. (Also good if you live in an earthquake zone - I originally found it when my Sister in CA lost more than half of her teapot collection to a quake.

You just put a little ball of the stuff under whatever you want to protect and twist it down. It stays in place and does not damage surfaces.

It's cheap too!

@RavenCT I'll have to Google it and see if is available here. Sorry, I missed your link to the employee robbers.

@FrayedBear The brand name is "Quake Putty".

Don't you wash her ass for her immediately she has been? Mine either loudly caterwauls that she has just gone or if it is a "poo from hell" slimy odiferous or sprayed she slinks silently through the villa ashamed to mention it and licks herself clean.

@FrayedBear, LOL, Emily doesn't tell me.

@TaraMarshall get her to train you. Only takes a few bum washes for them to cotton on.

@FrayedBear, Emily isn't a smart cat, she's social. I actually call her my transdog or my puppycat.

@TaraMarshall but being a female, no matter how thick, I'm sure she will love being pampered and having her bum washed for her! ... and learn to train you to do the sensible and hygienic thing. ?

@FrayedBear, she hates water.

@TaraMarshall mine is not fond of it either. Funny that they are remarkable swimmers.

@FrayedBear, never tried beyond the bath.

@TaraMarshall I simply use a "dedicated to her bottom "microfibre +mesh wash cloth which is rinsed then squeezed before being used then rinsed and disinfected after use (bubblegum).

Sounds like you were preparing entertainment for her.

Newspapers on the counter would have saved cleaning and I'm sure if sprayed with vinegar or something that they avoid (mine will not eat cooked fish that has had vinegar on it - she's ok with lemon juice. Shredded horseraddish is another she doesnt like).
But I'm reminded of neighbour who was trying to get jasmine to grow up his balcony. The possums were coming down from the gum trees and having a feast on the growing leaves. Roy decided that the answer was a simple shock which he would provide by running 2 naked copper wires along the top of the balcony rail, the ends connected to a plug put in the 240 volt AC power.
All was well until one beautiful morning Roy woke up, strode out to the rails to admire the view over the water 75 metres away... and then he threw his arms back to expand his chest with a lungful of fresh air, expelling it as he brought his arms forward to compress his chest ... and put his hands down on the bare wires. It was all removed within half an hour when he realised how stupid he had been. Fortunately for him he had worked most of his life erecting and repairing the electricity pylons that carry 44000 volts from source to consumers across the state.
