Truth in advertising? XXXVII

Any store that claims to have everything risks irritating remarks from smart alecks.  Sometimes, when I heard the Central Hardware jingle, "We've got it all, from scoop to nuts...," I'd think, "I'll bet some know-it-all has probably gone into one of their stores, determined to be overly literal about the jingle's promise, and said, 'What if I want a bolt that's 37 percent rusted?  You don't have that, do you?'"

That's the same type of person who would likely order a pizza with everything and then complain that there are no transistor radio parts or sawdust as toppings.

Watchcat protocol CDXXXIV

A covered cat house is an effective and comfortable guard post for a watchcat.  Conveniently, no zoning permit is required:

December 2019: Watchcat Lily monitors her assigned sector from her house.

Watchcat protocol CDXXXIII

Not every intruder a watchcat monitors is right in front of him.  Sometimes, the intruder is a flying bug that the watchcat must swat out of the air.  Watchcat Sammy was on alert for such bugs in January 2006:

Sometimes, a watchcat must let intruders know who's in charge:

October 2012: Watchcat Rosie roars to let everyone in her assigned sector know that she's not intimidated.

Watchcat protocol CDXXXI

An intruder had better think twice before confronting a double-teamed security force:

Spring 2012: Watchcat Nemo and Proxy Nemo present a force with which to be reckoned.

Guarding recently read newspapers and a phone book isn't a task for just anyone.  Such elevated security needs warrant a watchcat:

2010: Clearly, this wasn't a time for frivolity.  After all, Watchcat Sylvia was guarding out-of-date items on the kitchen table.
