1
00:00:01,520 --> 00:00:05,520
Speaker 1: Welcome to the Christian O'Connell show podcast. Yesterday, I had

2
00:00:05,559 --> 00:00:08,680
Speaker 1: the strangest conversation I've had with another human being this year,

3
00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:15,000
Speaker 1: how to find a cat behavioral expert, and I managed

4
00:00:15,040 --> 00:00:17,000
Speaker 1: to find one. Well, I guess you find all these

5
00:00:17,040 --> 00:00:21,960
Speaker 1: people from a Facebook group. That's where all medical experts are.

6
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:24,599
Speaker 1: It's only where all viral experts are that really know

7
00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:26,480
Speaker 1: everything about vaccination systems.

8
00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:27,120
Speaker 2: You know that.

9
00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:30,040
Speaker 1: I mean, the federal government really do need to sack

10
00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:33,040
Speaker 1: all the scientists hire people from Facebook who know.

11
00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:34,120
Speaker 2: A lot about everything.

12
00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:36,559
Speaker 1: But anyway, I joined a Facebook group over the weekend

13
00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:38,800
Speaker 1: that was feline bad behavior.

14
00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:40,440
Speaker 2: There's actually a group for it where you can support

15
00:00:40,479 --> 00:00:40,800
Speaker 2: each other.

16
00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:43,520
Speaker 3: Okay, And what's Larry getting up to that he needs discipline?

17
00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:45,960
Speaker 1: Now I'm going to because I know obviously early in

18
00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:47,720
Speaker 1: the morning you might be eating. Right now, I'm going

19
00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:51,720
Speaker 1: to replace the word pooh with parcel. Larry the cat,

20
00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:55,200
Speaker 1: right has He's been dropping parcels in the house and

21
00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:55,880
Speaker 1: we can't.

22
00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:57,000
Speaker 2: Work out why he's got a tray.

23
00:00:57,320 --> 00:01:00,080
Speaker 1: He's got literature and stuff like that, right google it

24
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:02,080
Speaker 1: and we've tried different things out, but he keeps doing it.

25
00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:03,120
Speaker 3: And he never did this before.

26
00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:05,440
Speaker 1: No, it's literally in the last week and a half

27
00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:07,040
Speaker 1: and it came to a head, and which is why

28
00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:09,040
Speaker 1: I snapped and joined this Facebook group. Of the weekend,

29
00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:11,840
Speaker 1: he dropped a parcel I didn't even know why on

30
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:15,360
Speaker 1: my pillow car right, he's got to look through the

31
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:18,160
Speaker 1: whole house. If you do it under tables in corners,

32
00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:22,080
Speaker 1: why suddenly on a Saturday find that? And why my

33
00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:25,200
Speaker 1: side of the bell. At first, I actual thought it

34
00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:29,679
Speaker 1: was one of the kids. We're all struggling at the moment. Yeah,

35
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:33,240
Speaker 1: I'm talking about this before. But again, you can't be

36
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:35,720
Speaker 1: doing that in your dad's pillow. I've got right, kids,

37
00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:36,560
Speaker 1: I've got right.

38
00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:39,520
Speaker 3: But it does seem like a direct message to you.

39
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:42,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, so I had to speak to this cat behavior expert.

40
00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:44,640
Speaker 1: And also there's been another attack by Larry on Tuesday.

41
00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:48,480
Speaker 1: He did it under my turntable. But it's now personal.

42
00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:48,680
Speaker 2: Isn't it right?

43
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:51,920
Speaker 1: Why why anything that belongs to my pillow? And now

44
00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:55,080
Speaker 1: even more intimate, it is my turn and so he knows.

45
00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:57,480
Speaker 1: Those are the things I love most in the world,

46
00:01:57,840 --> 00:01:59,880
Speaker 1: dozing when I can get some sleep, I'm listening to

47
00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:04,000
Speaker 1: he's attacking me anyway to speak, this cat behavior export yesterday,

48
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:05,440
Speaker 1: and I don't know if you've ever speaking to one

49
00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:08,400
Speaker 1: of these animal behavior. Within like two or three minutes,

50
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:10,200
Speaker 1: I was talking about what's going on, how old he is.

51
00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:12,919
Speaker 1: We've got two dogs as well. This lady actually said

52
00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:16,000
Speaker 1: to me, Larry the cat is angry at you about something,

53
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:16,359
Speaker 1: and you.

54
00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:17,680
Speaker 2: Need to have a think about what it is.

55
00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:21,320
Speaker 1: I went, oh, he's a cat. I feed him every

56
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:24,399
Speaker 1: morning up half four. I'm nothing but nice to the cat.

57
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:26,600
Speaker 3: If anything, you should be his favorite because you're the

58
00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:27,400
Speaker 3: one who feeds him.

59
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:27,639
Speaker 2: Yeah.

60
00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:30,040
Speaker 1: Every morning, he's so happy to see me, and he's

61
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:32,960
Speaker 1: pouring away because he knows he's being fed. Are half four?

62
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:35,480
Speaker 1: She said, you need to have a think at the weekend.

63
00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:38,240
Speaker 1: Write it down the journal, right, just any encounters you

64
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:40,320
Speaker 1: have with Larry the cat and how it might be

65
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:43,040
Speaker 1: from his point of view.

66
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:44,560
Speaker 2: I mean, I know we haven't got a lot to

67
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:46,760
Speaker 2: do at the weekend. Am I really going to be there?

68
00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:50,480
Speaker 1: Dear cushion on half of Larry? You know that I

69
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:52,880
Speaker 1: meant to any encounter. I like, I just walked past him.

70
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:54,240
Speaker 1: I think, hang on, did I give him a stink?

71
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:56,680
Speaker 2: Guy? Is he picking up something from me? Is it

72
00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:57,280
Speaker 2: a lockdown?

73
00:02:57,320 --> 00:02:59,840
Speaker 3: Thing. How many complex exchanges are you having with the

74
00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:03,119
Speaker 3: cat that you have to think what's the underlying issue here?

75
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:03,840
Speaker 2: Not just that.

76
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:05,480
Speaker 1: At the end of the call, and I swear it

77
00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:07,519
Speaker 1: was only a couple of minutes, the lady went, where

78
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:08,520
Speaker 1: do I send my invoice?

79
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:10,920
Speaker 2: I was, you're going to invoice me for this? She

80
00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:13,600
Speaker 2: sent me through an email it's two hundred dollars.

81
00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:17,720
Speaker 1: Basically, I don't think it was five minutes saying that

82
00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:20,200
Speaker 1: you're the problem. Do you know what afterwards it? I

83
00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:23,480
Speaker 1: didn't ask for any qualifications. I've got no idea who

84
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:26,800
Speaker 1: I was actually speaking to. What an easy way to

85
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:29,520
Speaker 1: rip off? And cat owners they're a little bit out there,

86
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:32,360
Speaker 1: aren't they. They love those strange animals, But what an

87
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:34,040
Speaker 1: easy way to scat. You've seen a couple of those

88
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:35,120
Speaker 1: a day you were in Clover.

89
