Nobody feels any sympathy for the DUde? I'm just happy Sparkly let him into the back yard once in a while to view the tree. Probably throwing out the used cat litter or something...
I've always wondered what people in congested urban areas did with used cat-litter.
Of course, I spent many years, decades, living in congested urban areas, but I never had a cat at the time, and didn't pay attention to what those with cats did.
Out here, the whole wide world's outdoor sanitary facilities for the cats, until the snow comes.
During the winter, when the cats are naturally inside this big old house nearly all the time, I use cat-litter made of only baked clay, no chemicals in it, and when the boxes need emptied, I merely walk out the back door or the front door, and fling it upon the snow at some random place.
As gross as this might seem, the extreme cold and the extreme hot of the Sandhills "breaks it up" rather quickly, and contrary to popular wisdom, used cat-litter makes excellent fertilizer, as the foliage around this place demonstrates.
