Ohhh, some people!

Just read a news article about somebody who had thrown a cat in a glass-collecting container! The cat hadn't crawled in it itself (if he had, he did have prepared himself by tying a rope around him). It was injured but alive when the animal rescue saved it.

Luckily, the cat was chipped and its owner will see some charges against him!

That just might reduce the recidivism rate for such things.

aw ! i'm sorry. i can sympathise : i do this too. i used to do it even more frequently ; i like to cook a big pot of something then re-heat it for 2 or 3 days, and invariably i would burn it when i reheated it. so i bought a microwave. it has a timer and stops automatically. no more burned rice from yesterday.

Trouble with microwaves is when you completely forget about something and come back to the microwave a day or two later. And then the food/drink may no longer be in an edible/drinkable state... :needayukkysmilie:

That can trigger a gas release of not entirely pleasant smells that, when you open the microwave, requires the evacuation of the house...

You would think that a dog, who has such a good sense of smell, would be more concerned about the strong smells that come from re-heated multi-day-old food from the microwave!

You know, the better the sense of smell, the faster it shuts down - so dogs and not-hedgehogs are not that bothered from bad smells
