Just a reminder why you get out if you smell gas.

One little spark and the structure could experience an unscheduled premature (pyrotechnic) disassembly, with you in it.

And don't be shuffling across the carpet in your socks and zap the cat!

To be clear, that's ONLY if you smell gas. Gas that is not your own.
The rest of the time, it's fine to drag your feet and zap the cat all you like.

But not the dog.
Alright... Maybe a couple times, but not very much, the dog.

I try to respect large dogs and working dogs, but little ankle biter and foofy dogs? Sorry buddy you're just a glorified cat.  :smokin:
