Asshole cat jumped a baby gate to let me know at 545 he was hungry. Little shit has been locked in the litter room for about two hours now.

Today: watch it rain and do some painting and baking.

Tomorrow: finish all of the yard work. Get the lawn chemicals down. Spray the wood with stuff to keep the carpenter bees out. Finish the compost bins. Maybe a bike ride.

You're likely just encouraging your cat to behave worse. Or take a nap lol depending on the personality. Positive reinforcement is the way.

Also how have you gone this long without an automatic feeder?

Never thought of spraying to keep carpenter bees out. Does it work well?

It MAY be Avesta but don’t quote me on that. Juggling a few things and can’t quite check right now.

A: I’m probably going to get hate for killing the bees

B: yes it does more or less keep them from digging into the brand new deck stuff built a few years ago and reduces my need to constantly fill in holes with a mix of sawdust and wood glue all spring and summer long.

I mean, does it kill them, or deter them?

Edit - either way, I’m pro bee, but I can’t have them destroying my brand new deck.
