"Does not work with eggplant or zucchini..."

Had a cat that would go bonkers whenever we brought in zucchini from the garden - cukes, peppers, etc she was OK with, but don't put a zucchini on the floor....

Experts Say

How do you become an EXPERT on cucumber pranks. What college? What courses do you take? Graduate school? What? Are we taxpayers paying for this "degree" of "expertise"?

Art Bell’s website used to have a sound-bite of his cat screaming. When I played it, my great cat Jean-Marie immediately flew into action, looking ALL AROUND the computer speaker. Poor kitty.

LOL! Good point. Who exactly does a newspaper call for an expert on cucumbers scaring cats? The county agricultural dept? And they found an EXPERT no less.
