She’s an indoor and garden cat and we just moved, so this is totally new to her.
Seems unsafe.
Yeah, probably best to keep your critters away from machinery designed to cut stuff
She is keeping her distance and both me and my neighbour are watching closely.
If a lawnmower hits a rock, it can project it with deadly force. That’s why lawnmowers have guards on the side facing the driver, and warnings to stay a dozen or more feet back.
Lawnmower robots have much smaller blades with less inertia. I don’t doubt a direct hit would hurt, but rocks just won’t get thrown very fast by it. A direct hit would also be pretty hard to achieve because the skirt stops anything big from getting under the robot and the blades stop immediately when it gets lifted up.
Just imagine how many lawsuits the manufacturers would have to deal with if these things were only slightly unsafe.
That shit fucking hurts. I thought it broke my finger. I was very fortunate
Good point. I’ll take care not to let her out when the mower is running.
Aww. Looks like her fur is standing on end. But she’s pretty brave, getting so close to the Ungeheuer (monster). Nice to see her exploring her new home.
Nah she’s a maine coon mixed breed, that’s her normal fur. She is cautiously brave. Maybe because she has been watching it through the terrace doors so she knows it doesn’t do any sudden movements
Looking around like “yo! Is anyone else seeing this!?”
The height of the grass along the wall of the house 😳
An “indoor and garden cat” is not an indoor cat.
It is if the garden is enclosed and they can’t get out
Words spoken by every cat owner whose cat has gotten out.
If they are outside, they should be on a leash.
