Teresa, that does look like one fat, contented cat.

Jenny, no, not really. This is up in WA where things are a bit different than here. My sis in law said that someone would come and pick it up. It was not to go in her compost, nor could it be recycled.

It was really difficult for us, how much they recycled. After 3 months, she said she took 3 grocery sized bags to the trash place {??}. Paper trash was burned in a pit at night {while we enjoyed a wonderful fire}, they used mostly fresh foods, not processed, not a lot of packaging.

It really made us think of how much trash we generate. That is off of the topic, though, but the animals routinely would be picked up, from what she told me. A lot of critters in her hood. She had a bunch of chickens herself. A bunch of fat, juicy chickens. :0) Every morning, our little 4 year old cousin would get a little basket and go outside and hunt for the eggs.
