It looks like we survived the great blackout of 2011! As a cat, the only reason I knew things were out of the ordinary is because my water fountain went from this:
To this:
Anyway, what I wanted to talk about today is the fact that, out here amongst the avocado groves, we have a HUGE problem with ants.
The ants have a taste for my food.... We've tried just about everything to keep them out of there but they just keep coming back! My humans were going to be out of town for almost two weeks and knew they had to come up with a solution to this problem!
Enter:
My humans bought this for me and Maggie a couple of months ago and put it to the ultimate test when they were gone for almost two weeks!
Here is a picture of the two piece unit:
On the left is the moat and on the right is the platform that fits over the moat.
Here are the supplies you'll need:
Water and approximately One Tablespoon of dish washing liquid.
Here are the directions that came with the unit. A lot of words but don't let that deter you!
HELPFUL HINT: Get your humans to add the water to lessen the risk of getting wet!
Here is the unit assembled and ready to dine upon:
Maggie is modeling for us!
*** Caution! Graphic images ahead! Stop reading at this point if you are at all squeamish about death!***
Upon the return of my humans, two weeks later, this is what the inside of the unit looked like:
Although the ants got into my extra stash of cat food that wasn't completely sealed, the human's sugar container, almond butter and cereal, and there were freeways of ants speeding through the entire house my food was virtually untouched by ants!
Is this the Anster? I think so! I give it two claws up!
This is a product review of a product I really like and I was not paid by the company to review this product. My tall human bought it for me and Maggie with his own money. For more information and to order your own Antser please visit: The Antser Website
Now that the weather has cooled off, thank goodness, my meowing is back in full swing! I'm belting it out like there's no tomorrow! Have a great weekend, my friends and see you next week!
Well, Wiley, this time you have outdone yourself. This post is hilarious! Although, the way you describe Antser, I think it deserves "4" paws up. That would be quite a trick!
ReplyDeleteBy the way, Maggie is beautiful!
We now have our own "Mr. Ed" in the neighborhood. He's only 6 months old, but he's a beauty!!
I heard about your blackout on TV....you just never know when the lights will go out! But cats can see in the dark, so I guess you have built-in flashlights!!
You have a great weekend, Wiley & Maggie.
Maybe I'll send you some stink bugs to see if they will be attracted to the Antser!!
Bye for now.
Love,
Grandbabka
