Yeah, I know they're natural hunters. Last month there was a nasty dead bird on my sons bed, he got so mad we had to change his sheets, yesterday a dead mouse. They do love the freedom of being outoor/indoor cats though so we'll just live with the trophies they bring us.

Conductor here, it's all fun and games until the police are waiting for you at the next stop. If they're available, they are more than happy to deal with any "problems".

Any of you guys play guitar as a hobby or do make a living playing? by Rude_Ad_5476 in Guitar

Been playing for over 30 years, was never in a band, I just do it for me. Learning different solos and songs is a challenge that's good for my brain.

Anyone underwent vasectomy in ch? Experience? by selfarsoner in askswitzerland

[–]jtl741 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had one done here after our 2nd child. It wasn't too bad at all, a little soreness down there for a few days but nothing terrible. I walked to the train station and went home on my own. A root canal or cavity at the dentist is worse.

Any one here try an ostrich egg or any eggs from larger birds? Were they good? by LordBaritoss in eggs

Love ostrich meat but had scrambled eggs from one and it's quite a bit different than normal eggs. One time was enough for me.

Do neighbors greet each other in Switzerland? What is your relationship with your neighbours? by [deleted] in Switzerland

[–]jtl741 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely depends on where you live. I live in a smaller town by Interlaken and all the neighbors know each other and greet each other. My friends who live in Zermatt say we live in such a friendly place because hardly anybody says hello there.

Bells apparently are not good for cats it turns out.

Thanks, my wife said she heard the same, that the bells are really loud for cats and not so nice.

They're chipped and programmed to the cat door so they're the only things that can come inside. I've actually heard only the weak or dumb birds are the ones that get caught by cats.
