She's an indoor and garden cat and we just moved, so this is totally new to her.
I was really hoping that I wasn't about to watch a cat get turned into hamburger meat.
Seems unsafe.
Yeah, probably best to keep your critters away from machinery designed to cut stuff
She is keeping her distance and both me and my neighbour are watching closely.
If a lawnmower hits a rock, it can project it with deadly force. That’s why lawnmowers have guards on the side facing the driver, and warnings to stay a dozen or more feet back.
Lawnmower robots have much smaller blades with less inertia. I don't doubt a direct hit would hurt, but rocks just won't get thrown very fast by it. A direct hit would also be pretty hard to achieve because the skirt stops anything big from getting under the robot and the blades stop immediately when it gets lifted up.
Just imagine how many lawsuits the manufacturers would have to deal with if these things were only slightly unsafe.
I've read about places banning their use at night because they kill hedgehogs.
Yes, I have heard about that too, which is why I only let mine run at daytime.
Good point. I'll take care not to let her out when the mower is running.
That shit fucking hurts. I thought it broke my finger. I was very fortunate
Looking around like "yo! Is anyone else seeing this!?"
“This mockery of my primacy is an outrage.
I’m offended by the mere existence of this contraption.
Why must I endure this grotesquery?
I pity this fool and hate everything about him.
Yet, curiously, my intrigue is both utterly enthralling and unbearably delicious.”
Aww. Looks like her fur is standing on end. But she's pretty brave, getting so close to the Ungeheuer (monster). Nice to see her exploring her new home.
Nah she's a maine coon mixed breed, that's her normal fur. She is cautiously brave. Maybe because she has been watching it through the terrace doors so she knows it doesn't do any sudden movements
The height of the grass along the wall of the house 😳
