Any chance that little kitty could be harnessed to pull in some coins or bills?

Three was this guy that made a vending machine for crows. Ik they put a coin in it dispensed some peanuts.

It really works, but it's not that profitable

I was thinking about the guy who trained his bird (Jungle Myna) to find and retrieve bills for him. Couldn't find the original source but uploaded the clip. I don't own birds and haven't trained them, but this little baby seems like a good earner, and presumably works for birdseed lol

I’m now imagining a claw machine, but the claw is a cat on a harness.

Not sure if that was your intention but wanted to thank you anyway 😄

I love the imagery, it makes me think of something Looney Tunes with Sylverster trying to pull a Wile E. Coyote scheme.

Kittie wants you to meet a woman. The owner might be coming to look for the burglar and find a handsome devil.

Khajut has hair tie if you have coin.

Those things get everywhere! Have one, and now spawn and stick around! I'm still finding my old ones and I haven't used them for twenty years and throw them out when I find them!

Why do they like hair tie so much lol

Mine likes it so much that he eats it and throw up later SMH

Edit: I actually appreciate him throwing up after reading comments. I store my hair ties out of the cat's reach that the accident no longer happens but it was somewhat common when living with somewhat careless ex

Look that they always throw it up again, ours did the same and at some point they stopped coming out again. He had to have surgery and they remove around 30 hair ties.

I would get rid of any hair ties below a certain size so they can't swallow them anymore.
