    The 'stuff' is stainless steel. If you use stainless steel to make aircraft, it'll never fly! LOL!

    Hmmm I wonder if you had been drooling over the keyboard when you typed that comment hehehe...

    Yes, I can answer that question!

    It is because humans can never understand enough how much cats love to eat mice. The second reason is because the taste buds of humans differ from cats so even if one has eaten a mouse, aha - the reaction would be a totally different one from that of cats :-) so how would they be able to produce mouse-flavored food if they have yet to develop a penchant for mice kakakakakakakka?

    Purrfect or not my response hehe???

    Wrong answer! Because the humans can never catch enough mice to make into catfood. Case in point: if Tom, a super intelligent feline can't ever catch Jerry, how do think the humans will fare? purrr....meow!

    Ah - that is only in the movies. LOL!! If Tom caught Jerry, then there would be no more cartoons for us to watch.

    In my entire lifetime, I have easily caught and killed about 20 rats/mice especially in the garden of my old house. Thank goodness, there are none in my current residence. :-)

    Still, cats have the delectable pleasure of enjoying mice LOL!!

    Have a lovely day!

    Anonymous Why do banks leave vault doors open and then chain the pens to the counters ???

    They are good followers of the concept of "penny wise pound foolish" as every cent saved is another cent gained. As for the vault doors, they trust their staff enough to open those doors. If banks cannot trust their staff, how to allow them to handle millions of cash daily ?

    ~ahoo~
