The Oatmeal is a fun website featuring well drawn and clever cartoons about the things we experience in everyday life. 

Here is one we found showing a cat trying to get its owners attention... We all know cats are pushy when they are seeking attention!

Have you heard of Simon's Cat before? Simon’s Cat is a charming, yet mischievous cat that lives with Simon.He made his first appearance online, in a film called 'Cat Man Do'. Since then he has also appeared in his own books, game and comic strip.

The videos are cute, funny and definitely worth a look if you haven't seen them yet!

All the Simon’s Cat films are available to watch for free on the Simon’s Cat YouTube channel http://www.youtube.com/user/simonscat or visit the website for much more here http://www.simonscat.com

The UV levels in Australia are some of the highest in the world. This causes netting, in particular polyethylene netting, to degrade over as little as a year. This means that the netting will break as easily as pulling it apart with your hands as you can see in the video below

Once the netting reaches the level where it can easily break by hand there is no point in repairing it, instead the netting will need to be replaced. This can become an expensive task when you need to replace something like a tennis net every 2 years but imagine having to replace an entire multi-purpose sports system or worse… Imagine that because of UV damage, a fall arrest safety net did not function when needed leading to a workplace injury or even a death? 

Ultra violet inhibitors are added during manufacture at the point where the net is turned into a yarn. These inhibitors have been developed and improved over time and provide a greatly increased lifespan for the netting.

Both Advanced Nets & Ropes and SecureaKat products and installations use maximum UV inhibitors where possible to extend the life of the net and you DO NOT PAY ANY MORE money for your finished installation. We believe that we create the highest quality netting installations in Australia therefore it is our pride and reputation at stake if our netting does not perform as intended for extended periods of time. 

The UV stabilization used on our cat enclosures mean that the netting will last... In Australia, the polyethylene netting we use has been in use for 10 years and is still functioning today without degradation.
