Any monster trying to hide under my bed would probably choke on all the dust bunnies or get tangled up in all the shreds of cloth hanging down from the bedsprings. My cats had decided that they needed to hide from me not just by going under the bed, but by tearing up the bedspring frame so they could get in there.

I believe that we have [footage of the incident](https://youtu.be/tpDgdL_WMic?si=1v6W6piMkF5cIbUg) from when it occurred.

That clip aged badly considering that guy is a convicted sex offender IRL.

This is both stupid and evil, I guess?

A lady in my exercise class (here called Deb) mentioned that a neighbor has trouble keeping their dog from running around the neighborhood, and at one point it ran up to Deb and her dog. Deb’s dog has a muzzle bc it’s not friendly to other dogs, and Deb warned them. The stupid was that Deb then wondered if she should threaten to shoot the dog if it approached them again, but worried about getting sued.

If pulling out a gun is the next logical step for you in this situation, you should not have a gun IMHO.

I suppose that depends on how threatening the other dog is.

It’s good to know that I wasn’t the only one to have cats that would do that.

Why, you don’t like watching sex offenders getting kicked in the face?

Thirded; though I don’t think they were specifically trying to hide from me. Some cats just like to get into things, and a thin cloth cover isn’t going to stop them.

Every cat we had when I was growing up did that. Sometimes the whole mob would be in there at once.

I don’t even know that it was threatening, just that it approached her dog and herself.

The last time I moved Rascal and his brother Mischief were still kittens, and when the movers were coming I tried to close both of them along with my older cat in the bathroom, except I couldn’t find one of the kittens. When the movers were taking the bed out to the truck they called me out to hand me the kitten that had popped out of the framework. Then the trick was to put him into the bathroom with his brother without his brother getting out.

Please make a Crazy Cat Person thread elsewhere. We still want the stupidity.

Oh no, I enjoy that. It’s just that the scene is supposed to be a farcical misunderstanding; an overzealous principal trying to catch a truant student is mistaken for a prowler and attacked.

But adding onto the fact that the actor is a convicted felony sex offender, that adds a layer of dark irony to a scene where he’s creeping around in a house with a lone young woman. Something clearly not originally intended for a light-hearted 80s teen comedy.

A stupid MF SovCit moron here in Australia. [Kidnap your kid, diss the court, refuse representation…it’s gonna go SO well for you!](https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-03-31/sovereign-citizen-who-kidnapped-child-wollongong-nsw-jailed/105117616)

As the judge pointed out, this woman was in public housing, provided by the government. If she was a fair dinkum SovCit, she would have refused all government interference in her life. 😛

The judge is wrong. SovCits are two-faced with the best of them.

Shame the authorities can’t render her Supreme Sovereignness as _persona non grata_, and put her on the list of people to be denied all government services at all levels for life.

Might teach a few of them a lesson.
