Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

precise placement is a bit harder for girls.

Practice, practice, practice.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Wouldn't cat pee (which is right there in the litter box) be most effective at shooing away the rats?

Yeah but harder to persuade cats to pee where you want them to.

Ah should have read more carefully. So used cat litter might work?

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Hahaha! Yeah, I can see how girl pee might be generally less attracting to guys than steak. If it`s not, I don`t wanna know.
 
And thanks, meara.
 
In other digestive news, my stomach has been upset for pretty much a week. Just now, I took my vitamin (don`t ask me why I`m taking it now, it was there and I didn`t take it this morning) and now my stomach is a growling mess. I keep thinking this is residual grief stuff since that`s when it started, but shouldn`t that be calmed down by now? Am I correlating instead of, um, causating? Maybe I got a bad batch of farmer`s market stuff? `Cause that`s kinda all I`ve eaten since then. It`s driving me batty and making me want pasta.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

When I planted fall bulbs last year I put a (gloved) handful of used cat litter on top of each one before covering them with soil. The squirrels left them alone that time, which they hadn't done with previous planting attempts.

Now we've had a couple of weeks without rain and something's digging in my flower bed, trying to find moisture, I think. It's digging up and discarding the bulbs. I've set up a bird/squirrel bath around the corner, so with any luck they'll start going to the open bar rather than excavating my soaker hoses.

Now tagless for your comfort.

I need to get the kids up and to school so I can hit the Lands End factory sale here in town.

Anybody need anything?
