How to Clean Your Toilet
1. Put both lids of the toilet up and add 1/8 cup of
pet shampoo to the water in the bowl.

2. Pick up the cat and soothe him while you carry
him towards the bathroom.

3. In one smooth movement, put the cat in the
toilet and close both lids.
You may need to stand on the lid.

4. The cat will self agitate and make ample suds.
Never mind the noises that come from the toilet;
the cat is actually enjoying this.

5. Flush the toilet three or four times.
This provides a "power-wash and rinse."

6. Have someone open the front door of your home.
Be sure that there are no people between the
bathroom and the front door.

7. Stand behind the toilet as far as you can,
and quickly lift both lids.

8. The cat will rocket out of the toilet, streak
through the bathroom, and run outside
where he will dry himself off.

I remember many happy hours spent in this forum laughing over crat stories. The one that took the cake for me however was one on I believe groundhog extermination by pouring volatile liquids down the holes. Can anybody give some reflection to that one? It helped a very sad man laugh like he had never laughed before. They were good days here.

Vapo,
From time to time I post there also. I've chatted with him a couple times there over the years.
I had a PM here today out of the blue concerning Dan and that is what brought this to mind

I remember DD, he was pretty funny. Don't know if his crat stories were always true but did provide a lot of laughs.

Crat stories don't have to be true, just funny. Some people didn't get it though, so it ended.


Some people are a lot like Slinkies: They're not good for much but it's kind of fun to push them down a flight of stairs.

One of the funniest stories I've ever read was on this forum. Don't remember who wrote it... something like "Of crats and Coyotes"? ...a blurred but collective epiphany... that story was a gem!

I used to log on just to enjoy the crazy fun on that forum. Somebody crossed the line of fun against torture of innocents and the fun went away. Sad in multiple directions. I have seven indoor cats, all strays that found and knew how to work me!!! I enjoyed the lunacity!!!

" I have seven indoor cats, all strays "
I too have indoor crats.I spend about the same on litter as I do crat food.
I wouldn't hurt em for the World.
As far as the funny stories go,I read Lee Child novels where the bad guys get beaten,shot,knifed,burned and generally fugged up.
These stories are no more real than the fun stories we used to post about crats.
If you want to read about torture,go over to the trapping thread.

Yeah it's not like telling about the time a guy I used to work with wired 120vac to a Hav-a-Hart with a wet crat inside. That's just sick. Frowner shame

BTW, he said the crat was doing it's level best to hover inside the cage. Eeker

on the "funny but true..." side; do any of you remember when the libturds in Colorado found out that keeping people from shooting Prairie Dogs allowed them to multiply about a thousand-percent a year? They actually had a plan with some company to vacuum them up out of their dens and relocate them. I wish I could remember all the details.

I bet they had little prarie dog psychiatrists waiting at their new home to make sure that being sucked out of their house while they were drinking coffee and reading the morning paper wasn't too traumatic for them too. animal

Just hire the guys who harvest seals to deal with the prairie dog problem. They come with a "whack-a-mole" club.

It was a shame that this forum went downhill as it had a strong following until the CRYBABIES showed up and demanded that Saed bow down to their ideas and that we all should think and do as they thought was right. Where are the crybabies that dragged this forum down now. Probably hugging each other and ruining more places that use to enjoy freedom of speech. They ruined it and wandered off giving each other high fives for their stupidity and ignorance. Thats what you get when you cross a lib with a Obummer worshipper. The old gang is doing well and stories are still being told but only to a select few. No libs, crybabies, OBUMMER LOVERS or the generally stupid are not allowed to partake in the entertainment Wink

I didn't post but really enjoyed laughing out loud as I read the ynars. The humorless are too sensitive.

Let's bring back the Crats......minus the turture of course.

Man, those guys were creative!

Right bang on! He darkens my Canadian identity, however, most understand.
Have not posted here in nearly a couple years due to the closet libs and whining. Occasionally it got a bit over the top but that could have been managed with a word not a big stick.
Yes we are still alive and Dan is with us along with his incredibly real and well written stories, we are blessed with himself and the other equally respected "outlaws" that left here.

Sorry for you folks that a political bottom line and some egos stifle your speech. Odd that door does not swing both ways hmmmmm? Is that supposed to be a characteristic of liberalism? Au contraire in the classic version.

I recall another poster with similar wit and insight who left about the same time, seems like he went by Henry470 or similar.

I remember those guys, this forum used to be a hoot, and I am a crat lover, we have two, but I appreciate humor.

One of the whiners was recently wringing his hands over a chicken killing weasel who forgot to leave the trap before he went for a swim.
