> This year I decided it was time to get rid of the weed whacker and
> replace it with something that does not need costly gas or
> electricity. I was sitting on my lawn chair talking to the pony when
> I noticed our female cat tucked down in some tall grass around our
> power pole. Her tail was swishing quickly as I noticed a stray
> tom-cat approaching. The closer he got, the faster her tail swished.
> That's when a lightbulb went on my my head. I immediately went to the
> house, grabbed a foot of weed whacker string and some duct tape, and
> taped the string to her tail. Sure enough, instant weed whacker,
> needing no gas or electricity. Now, if only I could get that tail to
> speed up to around 3600 RPM....... Maybe a larger tom-cat????
