    A GPS-guided tractor with a computer-controlled soil dumper could've done it in a fraction of the time. But the fact that it was assembled by hand is nearly as impressive as the finished product.

    Might this revolutionize lawn care?

    To heck with the impeccable lawn. I won't be able to sleep at night unless my cat's face is visible from 90,000 feet.

    ElectricAye,

    You, the self-described "dyed-in-the-dog-fur unliker of cats," have a cat now? I can't believe it! :)

    Surprised they didn't go for a Guiness advert?

    Alas, I've been caught in a web of my own deceit. I confess: no cats here. But I just couldn't resist the expression on that cat's face as its owner dressed it "up". Of course, I never want to see animals hurt or injured in any way, but a little humiliation via halloween costumes is maybe okay.

    Great pic! I can just imagine that that cat is going to slap the first cat it sees when it's let out the house in revenge for those ears
