The cat (sitting next to him on the bed) instantly went into anti-gravity mode and stuck to the ceiling and ran from the room via the ceiling, blazing a path to the bedroom door! . . .

. . . The cat hasn't been the same since though. :-)

ROTFLMAO!!!! Now I have that picture stuck in my head. LOL!

Yeah...he called her "Anti-Gravity Kitty" for quite awhile! This same brother of mine did something "else" after having the A/D in the house with the AMD-65.

He had a problem with the cat jumping on the screen door at the kitchen leading to the outside. He called me one day and said that he thought he had a solution. He told me about this contraption that he made which was really nothing more than a wooden frame that he duct taped to the outside of the screen door. It allowed enough room between the bare wires pinned on it for the cat to still get a grip to the screen, but these wires were attached to an extension cord...PLUGGED IN.... but insulated from each other on the wooden frame. I told him that he was going to HURT HIMSELF and that he probably ought not "play" with house current!

He was determined to keep that cat off the door though. He said he had replaced about 5 screens and that his wife made him promise that he wouldn't shoot the cat. He called me later that afternoon in hysterics! :-) He couldn't stop laughing! It took him a full five minutes to tell me what happened. :-) He said that the cat jumped onto the screen and he was sitting in the kitchen at the end of the extension cord waiting for the moment. He said that the cat jumped onto the screen and he plugged er in! He said an amazing blue flash from the electrical arc appeared at the door where the cat became an "electrical conductor", accompanied by a very LOUD humming noise, followed by a loud screech and some smoke. He said the cat was simply GONE. He thought he had disintegrated the cat. But on his way to the door to see what happened, the cat landed out in the yard almost 50 feet from the door!...and immediately took off in a blur to the woods about 50 yards away! He said the cat must have been way, WAY in the air!

I had to walk him through finding and resetting the breaker for that circuit. The circuit breaker is probably what saved the cat from getting completely toasted. :-)

He said after this, the cat wouldn't get any closer than about TWO feet from that door! His wife tried to find out how he "trained" the cat, but he wouldn't say! :-)
