"Bobcat" wrote in message ... 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 http://www.bbc.co.uk/science/humanbo...n_version5.swf 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.

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. Jo |

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

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. Susan M Otis and Chester |
