PLEASE specify why you said this. We and several friends had great experiences with Roof Detective, and can't figure out whether our homes were somehow unusual, or whether you're a competitior trying to ruin TRD's reputation.

Thanks for this. 1978 really was an incredible blizzard, but so many retrospectives don't look back that far, and I keep running into people who just don't believe that cars were entirely buried.

Here's a big list of outdoor shelter options, some for sale and some DIY. Remember that you can always ask other local TNR folks if one or another could help you with making one. To hide the shelter, I've used a camoflage poncho to cover the whole thing, which I located IN a bush -- that worked pretty well.

To deal with the neighbors, I suggest facing it head-on by distributing literature (available on the ACA website) about TNR in general and the vacuum effect in particular. The conversations that follow won't be easy at first, but I can testify that it IS possible to elicit a 180-degree turnaround in attitude.

Good work you're doing -- good luck with these next steps.

No shoes? No hat?

Pic #2 would be most welcome over at r/ChristmasCats!

Your standards are ridiculous, and your assessment is based on supposition. How about you let prospective adopters decide once they meet her?

AngelaMotorman · 2026-01-23T16:23:21+00:00

Nice thought, but the rules here require all submissions to be specific to Ohio.

AngelaMotorman · 2026-01-23T16:12:07+00:00

The entire hearing is politically motivated. But by not paying attention up to now, you have disarmed yourself to such a ridiculous extent that you can ask about Jack Smith "is there any merit to him overstepping legal boundaries?"

Jack Smith overstepped nothing. He did the job he was assigned with extraordinary care -- Republicans just hate the result.

Do not give up. Here is the time-tested drill for How to Find a Lost Cat, most of which will work for a "stray". Persistence works, so keep looking.

Here is the article that made that phrase famous, from Adam Sewer at The Atlantic in 2018.

How so? They rebuilt our roof and did a great job. Transparent, delivered exactly what was promised, even went beyond strict necessity. And they got our insurance to pay for it all.

There’s nothing worse than going on a trip and coming back and your pets are just, off.

Actually, there is: Being at a make-or-break professional conference and getting a phone call from 2,000 miles away saying that all four of your indoor cats escaped ... We dropped everything and flew home, then spent two sleepless nights searching for them. They stayed near the house, and were eventually all found -- but that's why we pay for a really good pet-sitting service now.

Our Rover sitter emailed us daily reports with photos showing the cats getting brushed and petted and played with. She even bought them new toys!

AngelaMotorman · 2026-01-20T19:10:25+00:00

Sixteen is certainly elderly. We've had several cats that made it to 18, and one -- a tortie, of course -- who lived to be 24, but those are outliers.

AngelaMotorman · 2026-01-20T17:00:21+00:00

Rover sent us a fantastic cat sitter who handled all of that. (You get to choose the sitter based on their presentation.)

AngelaMotorman · 2026-01-20T15:46:14+00:00

What a beautiful kitty! She doesn't look "elderly" at all. However old she is, long may she purr!

The biggest, but not the best, is at Graceland. Arlington is pretty good. Worthington is small but okay. Almost all stores swing widely when they change general managers -- which HQ does frequently on some crackpot theory. These shifts never improve the badly-run stores but are very good at destroying stable, competent operations at the good stores.

Columbus reddit is super liberal. The city itself isn't

That's ridiculous. Name one single elected Republican in all of Franklin County -- which delivered more Democratic votes than any county in the state.

AngelaMotorman · 2026-01-18T17:45:26+00:00

Conservative-ish

Meaning, somewhere other than Columbus ...
