  • Question on a rather old Kirby Up Right Vacume Cleaner.?

    Hi, I picked up a Kirby Vacume Cleaner at a lawn sale, for 5 bucks. It is one of their up right classic models. Red vac sac on it.

    It seems that some thing under the unit, may be warped, because, it does not seem to sit flat and true on the floor. Even on a carpet it seems sort of twisted some ware, like some part of that vacume, is not facing the floor, like it was designed to do.

    I have looked at the wheels and Inspected the shoe, that housed the spinning brush and belt. Any one, have any ideas as to why it acts this way?? Does the handle mount have any thing to do with it?

  • my cat is acting strange, like he has an attitude.?

    My cats diet, has been a very small dish of milk in the morning, with 3 of those soft treats, some soft food for lunch and a feeding tower of dry food any time he wants it. he has two clean litter boxs, and he knows ware both of them are.

    Seems he will poop in his box, and yet he will poop on the carpet in various rooms too. We tried adjusting what food stuffs he eats, but he still does it. Are cats the type that would do that, like a way to get back at us, for some thing we won't do, that he wants us to? Is that maybe a sign of some thing serious? Would some of the tainted pet food cause that if he was eating some, and we didn't know it??
