lol....knowing the baggage handlers at the French airports...they are probably planning a strike all on their own....maybe Easter - when it's really busy!!
we have a big water pistol & we use a high powered hose attached to the outside tap....so when Freda (bloody thing!) - our neighbours cat comes to bother our aviary birds - she gets a shot of water over her....she hates it - doesn't hurt her so we think that's ok.
