Notes for the day.

1) When using a camera to guide you around the house, remember stereo vision (and ensuing depth perception) requires TWO independent lenses. Binocular vision is overrated until you try and get around without it.

2) When closed, eyes tend to shake a whole lot. Definitely check out reason behind that.

3) Need to develop proximity alert system for airborne felines. V. important.

Dude.

Sorry, that's -still- hilarious.

A four-legged purple weapon of mass destruction, I tell you.

Catseye will take that as a compliment.

I figured you would. You didn't come out with any bad bumps or bruises from that fall, did you? I know cats always land on their feet, but I think we kind of landed on my head there.

Re: Dude.

Cats always land on their feet. Catseye is fine. :)

And ShinyBitsBoy said his head was all right! No bumps!

Re: Dude.

My head is fine, I've taken worse falls. My back, I hope, will eventually get back into shape, but that's more the fault of Las Vegas than anything else.

Re: Dude.

[identity profile] x-catseye.livejournal.com 2004-12-16 03:20 pm (UTC)(link)
ShinyBitsBoy falls down stairs a lot?

Catseye does not think Las Vegas is a good place. It is far away!

Re: Dude.

[identity profile] x-forge.livejournal.com 2004-12-16 03:21 pm (UTC)(link)
I wouldn't exactly have called it 'falling'.

Las Vegas is far away, yes. Very dry, and while it's not boring, it gets old very, very quickly.

Re: Dude.

[identity profile] x-catseye.livejournal.com 2004-12-16 03:25 pm (UTC)(link)
What would ShinyBitsBoy call it then? Catseye is confused, but does remember that humans tend to not land on their feet. This is sad.

Then ShinyBitsBoy should not go there again and stay here. Ha!

Remind me to introduce you to the concept of a "subject change" sometime.

And remember that I don't exactly have two feet to land on. Silly cat.

Re: Dude.

Catseye likes the saying "there is no time like the present" a lot. Because humans say "sometime" and then they forget.

Catseye is not silly! Feet are feet! But Catseye has to agree that four paws are much better.

Hmm. There's these nifty chair things in the mall in town that do really good massages. Might help your back.

[identity profile] x-foliate.livejournal.com 2004-12-16 03:17 pm (UTC)(link)
You too, huh? The last part, I mean. While the rest is very intriguing, I'm more nodding in interest with vague understanding.

That girl is a little bit of a hellion. Good thing she's so dang cute.

[identity profile] x-foliate.livejournal.com 2004-12-16 04:01 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes, you are very cute.

[identity profile] x-forge.livejournal.com 2004-12-16 03:19 pm (UTC)(link)
I've never been much of a cat person before, but I do have to kind of concede your point there.

[identity profile] x-foliate.livejournal.com 2004-12-16 04:00 pm (UTC)(link)
Aww... chickpea. You're all gooey center and whatnot.

But I have to admit, she is much better than our barn cats. The purple helps.

[identity profile] x-forge.livejournal.com 2004-12-16 04:02 pm (UTC)(link)
The purple is weird, because if I'm reading these genetics papers right that Doctor McCoy's dumping on me - it's not a naturally occurring allele, even through mutation usually. But then again, as he keeps reminding me, the "rules" of mutation keep changing by the week.

Then again, I probably don't need to remind YOU of that, what with your family and complete disregard for consistent mutation.

[identity profile] x-foliate.livejournal.com 2004-12-16 04:10 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, we're rude like that, not following logic that I can graph out and make big files out of. We do all have an immunity to injury of some kind, though.

That's our family in a nutshell, really.

And really? Catseye is a cat. It's in her nature to do things exactly however she pleases and usually as difficult as possible.

On the plus side, if I ever need anybody pounced, I know who to feed the large amounts of pastrami to. :)

[identity profile] x-crowdofone.livejournal.com 2004-12-16 03:38 pm (UTC)(link)
But I don't think I need anybody pounced right now. And while normally this wouldn't stop me, Doug went and got himself sunburned because he is a dork.

Tell you what, though--you met Artie yet? I bet he could use a good pouncing. And then I think I can see my way clear to sliding a plate of pastrami your way. Possibly with salmon garnish.

[identity profile] x-catseye.livejournal.com 2004-12-16 04:23 pm (UTC)(link)
OoooooOOOoooooo.

Catseye is hungry now. Very hungry.

Catseye knows who PictureBoy is and could go purr at him, yes. Food would help with this. It is very hard for Catseye to purr when she is hungry.

[identity profile] x-crowdofone.livejournal.com 2004-12-16 04:30 pm (UTC)(link)
We'd better do something about that, then. A cat with no purr is a tragedy.

Oh look, what's that? Why, strangely enough, it's the leftover salmon from the salmon chicken sandwich I just had. Isn't it funny how the pastrami just walked right over and sat down next to it on the plate? Who knows what would happen if somebody were to stop by the kitchen.

[identity profile] x-catseye.livejournal.com 2004-12-16 09:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Catseye thinks ManyBodiesBoy is awfully clever.

Pastrami and Salmon together are good, but Catseye feels a bit woozy now. Ooo. Catseye thinks maybe the tuna as well was too much. Mrp.

[identity profile] x-tarot.livejournal.com 2004-12-16 05:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Be nice to the dork with sunburned feet, he had a very hard week not so long ago. :)

Besides, he is cute and only his -feet- are burnt. The rest are actually a little tan. Which looks very silly with the extra-blond hair, but I did not say that if anyone asks.

[identity profile] x-foliate.livejournal.com 2004-12-16 04:12 pm (UTC)(link)
Aw, look. I have my own private assassin by pouncing kitty if by private you mean anyone who will feed her lunch meat.

[identity profile] x-catseye.livejournal.com 2004-12-16 04:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Pastrami! And only if Catseye feels like it!

[identity profile] x-forge.livejournal.com 2004-12-16 04:24 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes, you're a fickle little mercenary cat.

[identity profile] x-catseye.livejournal.com 2004-12-16 04:32 pm (UTC)(link)
*PURR*

*purr purr purr purr*

Preset system notice: There is a cat purring on the voice to computer audio/text interface. Shut down of interface in ten SQUAWK!

Catseye think silly computer can stop being uppity about the purring now.

[identity profile] x-jubilee.livejournal.com 2004-12-16 06:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Does this mean my tuna is safe now?

[identity profile] x-catseye.livejournal.com 2004-12-16 06:43 pm (UTC)(link)
All the tuna belongs to Catseye. :)

[identity profile] x-jubilee.livejournal.com 2004-12-16 06:46 pm (UTC)(link)
What I don't understand is how you seem to know when I'm making it. How do you do that? I wasn't even in the kitchen the last time.

[identity profile] x-catseye.livejournal.com 2004-12-16 06:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Catseye thinks that would be telling!

Hmm...

[identity profile] x-jubilee.livejournal.com 2004-12-16 06:52 pm (UTC)(link)
I believe an experiment is in order. *dashes off*

Re: Hmm...

[identity profile] x-jubilee.livejournal.com 2004-12-16 06:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Hah! You shall never find me now! *mwha!*

Re: Hmm...

[identity profile] x-catseye.livejournal.com 2004-12-16 07:08 pm (UTC)(link)
Catseye thinks SillySparkyGirl still does not have tuna! :D

[identity profile] x-crowdofone.livejournal.com 2004-12-16 04:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Now, give me some credit, I never said "private." :)
