These are the two I specifically asked for...Coral (tortie) and Squid (black male).

I think part of the problem is I am somewhat specific in what I want. First and foremost I want another tortie. Then I asked for a male...could be ginger, tabby, gray, black. I would be open to some other combinations too, depending on the cat.
I love these two.
I love these two.
Where does everyone stand on bees...when they have made a nest under your mailbox. A very LARGE nest. And they are bald faced hornets. 
Chaytan got stung twice before we noticed the nest. Husband and son want to dispose of it by spraying and killing them at sundown. I'm thinking there might be a way of relocating the nest but that would require a professional.
Is there such a thing for something as dangerous as hornets? I've put feelers out in the community to see if there is anyone who would attempt it. I know they do it with other types of bees that are more beneficial. Do hornets even contribute to pollination? I'll have to do some research on the subject.

Hornets are beneficial to nature. However, they are also dangerous to both humans and pets. If the nest is large, it should be removed by a professional.
The main drawback is I don't think that they will remove and release. I would strongly advise that your husband does not try and remove or spray it as it's highly dangerous.
Yes, I just read they are beneficial to the ecosystem. It would we'd as long as they are not disturbed that they don't pose a problem. But it is very large and well hidden in a very precarious spot under the mailbox. Covered by the plants/flowers. We go there every day to fetch the mail, not to mention I worry about the mail carrier too. And the kids who live next door. There may be no recourse at this point. I haven't found anyone (yet) who will remove the nest and relocate. They basically all just destroy them.
That's right, unless you have a wildlife group in your area that may help. The issue here is that a large nest is dangerous to humans and pets. It's up to you to decide whether it's worth taking the risk to leave it there. At least put up a sign saying there is a nest so that people are aware of the danger.
I have found this company and they state wasp nest 'removal'. You could always call and ask if they really just remove and place elsewhere.

You certainly should worry about your mail carrier!!! I'd suggest calling the post office and putting a temporary stop delivery, and go get it your self!
I had a nest outside my house once I wanted to leave be, as it wasn't interfering with anything. Late on a Sunday night they starting entering the kitchen from a hole they chewed! I then had to call an exterminator.
While I agree on trying to do the best thing, sometimes it can lead to worse outcomes.
Of course they often don't adapt to relocation anyway
Ever try hanging a decoy nest? That's supposed to be effective
Our gorgeous pidges!
Did you know that pidges don't leave the nest until they are adults?
Stella won a whiskers competition for a fb group that I belong to, lol. 
I get stupid excited.

A beautiful bird and a nest in the aviary. It is nesting season.
