Kitty reflexes

The other morning I climbed into the bathtub and Emily took her usual
post on the bathmat. It was chilly, so she sprawled on her side and
placed her paws on the radiator. I reached for the soap on the rim of
the tub and accidentally knocked the soap dish on the floor. At the
clatter, Emily sprang straight into the air from a lying position in
about .00001 seconds, and looked at me, startled. I imagine your cat
has the same incredible reflexes. By coincidence, that same day
someone
sent me this link to a web page where you can test your reflexes, and
it's no wonder that two of the categories you're put in depending on
your speed are "Turbo-charged Cheetah" and Bobbing Bobcat!
Appropriately I was put in the latter group. If you want to test your
reflexes against your cat(s), click he

Rocketing Rabbit, but I got sheep 5 (he twitched) at .0000 seconds. So I
imagine I'm more rightly a slug.

I know one thing about this game, I WILL NOT be a Sheppard in my next life.

Definitely a Bobcat here.

Molly demonstrated her finely tuned reflexes yesterday morning.

She was sitting at the sliding door waiting to go out. When the door opened
she started her usual mad dash. Only with no notable hesitation at all she
made a perfect circle about four feet in diameter ending up back inside the
house. Guess she wanted to reconsider given the out was wet.

I managed to drag myself up from Ambling Armadillo to Bobbing Bobcat,
but I think that will remain my best.

Sheesh, and I thought I had good reflexes! I'm an Amblimg Armadillo, too.
It was suggested I drink some coffee. But I just drank a pot of tea!

Yeah, they're pushing coffee awfully hard on that site. Maybe some
affiliation we don't know about. I'm a tea-drinker myself. As a
vegetarian, I must applaud that 'no sheep were harmed during the making
of the game.' :P

Can I plead a slow computer?

No, unless I can too.

People around the world in dark rooms dart-gunning sheep, drinking
pots of tea and coffee, testing their reflexes against their cats?
What monstrosity have I unleashed on this group???!!!

I just tried it again today with the sound on (yesterday I was doing with
my speakers shut off, which is their normal condition, so I won't startle
myself or the beasts with sudden loud noises). My scores are much better!
So clearly, the more senses are tuned into what's happening, the better
one's reflexes are.

LOL. That reminds me of that guy who posted on Ebay about the tin foil
hats, remember? And he made small sizes for pets, using his gorgeous
Himalayan cat to model it on. He even made one for a fly, which he also
modeled. (And which was either a Photoshopped picture, or a dead fly ).

At the bottom of the page, there's a little note that says, "No animals
were permanently annoyed by this activity." Or something like that. I
definitely remember the "permanently annoyed".

Susan, you almost sound slap happy in that post. I laughed when I read
it. I hope you got a good night's sleep and that your life calms down.
Maybe you needed some time alone in a dark room to shoot darts at
animated sheep. Sounds better than a rubber room with no darts and no
sheep. And from experience, I can tell you they don't let you have it
dark in there. LOL

Thanks Bridget - the baby was up for 3 hours lastnight. It's a long
complicated story about needing to wean the baby though he won't take a
cup or a bottle and he has terrible constipation pains.

Still slap happy.

Yeah, obviously, if he'd said just 'annoyed', we'd have known he was
lying. LOL!
