Vacuums eat cats. But even a vacuum can’t eat a whole one.
You just need a bigger vacuum. Get one of those Shop Vac jobbies with the 4” ducts.
Got one. I keep it in the garage. The kitties sometimes drift in if I leave the garage door up, but they flee in fear if I show up. They know I’ve a shop vacuum, which I tend to fire up when I fire up my Shopsmith.
I didn’t notice this before. It’s an Oreck vacuum. It sucks up round black objects with fuses. Right Yankee? It’ll suck up a kitten in a heartbeat.
