You know that guy in school that the most improbable thigs would happen too... that would be me...
Not long after Jules and I moved in together I came in and fussed my kitten, Evil Cat did the whole dont you love me bit and I fussed her on top of her head as well.
She promptly turns into blender cat and shreds my hand. Not a problem I am used to pouring blood, so I grab her by the back of her neck expecting her to freeze...
Yeh right, exorsist kitty turns inside her skin and bites me! The whole vulcan neck thing dosnt work on her freaky rear-end. First Cat I've ever met who dosnt freeze when you do that.
Anyway about four hours into my shift I notice that my hand is swelling, by the end of my shift I couldnt use it and had to go to A&E.
So yeh, Jules cat is Evil Kitty and shortly after I got home from the Hospital Evil Kitty and I had words about who is the bigger predator...

That's messed up, cats usually freeze because mommy cat picks them up by the back of the neck, and squirming around while your neck is in somethings mouth is a bad idea.
Dogs are the same way. Maybe kitty got separated from mommy a little soon.
Actually, humans feeze if you grab them by the back of the neck to, great fun at parties.

Ya wanna know what your doing if ya gunna cut and weld a gas tank, cause if ya dont ya could get bit (they can explode = death)
To my knowledge tanks can be cut and welded all you like but the safest way is to run your car exhaust into them for around 10-15 minutes (make sure it can exit not blow up!) and that burns out any traces of fuel making it safe to weld, cut etc. There are all sorts of other ways that Im sure the guys here will have up their sleeves.
Its a good idea I love kustom work, especially home made kustom.

most modern tanks get tested for structural integrity too. the last thing you want is to have a minor accident changed to a major one, because the tank failed on impact (at least, you complicate things by breathing in fumes, at most, you get set of fire).
I have no argument with this on show bikes, but if you're riding it on the road, you need to think long and hard about the potential consequences.

Use a good carpet cleaner having good suction ability. It will be best for you. You can use Hoover Power Scrub Deluxe Carpet Cleaner

A little late on the advice, but I’m guessing it’s work. Lol
