LOS ANGELES, Nov. 18 (UPI) — A viral trend involving placing cucumbers behind cats has been deemed cruel and harmful behavior by some experts.

Love 'em.
Every one I had thought he was a Pit Bull.
Nothing I did changed their pugnacious attitude.
Never toward a human, but God help the snake, frog, squirrel, bird, caterpillar, rat, mouse or cat that came within 20 feet of them.
Never a problem around children, other than their exuberance, tending to knock toddlers over with their sheer energy.
A friend has one that is now 18 years old.
Still tries to chase the rats in the seed house...and still the alpha male of three other JR and two big Alsatians (one at 115 lbs) that could rip him to pieces, but have never even growled...simply submitted and moved away.
Amazing little mutts.
Close. Many colleges actually offer a pickleball course. I think this is how one becomes an expert in cucumber cat pranks.
We had a cat that would tear through a grocery bag to get at cucumbers and eat them.
I can’t imagine having another type of dog now. They’re a big dog in a small package.
We live rural. One evening, we were in the front yard with
our cat (we live on 16 acres). Suddenly, she jumped
BACKWARDS several feet in the air & took off. - She had
happened upon a COPPERHEAD! Husband dispatched it. Then just
a couple of weeks later, he killed one on our back porch
evidently headed for the dog’s food dish. - We used to
mostly kill rattlesnakes out here; but looks like the
silent strikers (copperheads) got in ascendancy. - He’s
killed well over 30 rattlers out here in the 30 yrs. we’ve
been living on this place. - He wanted to filet the last
one he killed; but I told him NO! - not going in my freezer.
I put up with fishing worms he keeps in the fridge; but
I’m not gonna smell rattler cookin’ in my cast iron
skillet!!
they taste like chicken
Well, now you’ve gone and made a fool of yourself. My four cats (minus one and the dog) are laughing hysterically. This won’t end well for you.
One of my kitties does that. Cracks me up.
Smells like pork when frying, tastes like chicken when cooked. Try it, you’ll like it!
CATSTERS ping.
Yeah, no would not do this even to see if it happens.
People suck. Our pets take so much stress from us.
: > )
Well. As long as chicken tastes like chicken; I think I’ll
just stick to chicken. - Thanks anyway. Fang has probably
had a platter of rattler behind my back already. He has a
long history of killing rattlers. - We also had gator over
at a Cajun place out from Murfreesboro. It was okay. :o/
The dishonesty of the rattler about how it smells when it’s
cookin’ is predictable. - Fang’s probably already cooked
one behind my back! :o)
Let's see . . . (while thumbing thru the phone book) . . . cucumbers, scaring cats, expert . . . A__hole, Busybody, Ph.D. (piled high and heep) . . . 1-800-JERKOFF . . . (riing, riing) "You have called the cat cucumber scaredy cat hotline . . . press 1 for English . . . . etc.
Is there an equivalent we can do with liberals?
I don’t have a cat. I wonder what the effect of a jack-in-the-box would be.
Naturally, as soon as I typed that, I thought to look on youtube, and there’s a bunch.

Too funny!
Instinctive reaction to snakes would be my guess

Every time he takes the setup out with its large dangling plastic tubes, one of our cats goes nuts and attacks it.
I suspect its the cat’s being hardwired to fear snakes-
and he thinks the tube is a snake. Lol
