h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Is that when I throw something at the clothes hamper or trash bin and miss, the cat grabs the sock, wadded paper etc. and runs off with it.

On the bright side, I have finally found a use for Mardi Gras beads.

Just the one ? That's manageable then.

I thought the point of fetching was that the animal (in this, the cat) would bring the object back to you. No? Then it's fetching it for someone else... Or maybe you mean fetching in the sense of cute. awww...

It's two cats, Socks and Fortune. One morning Socks wanted to play, so he brought me a string of beads. I wanted to sleep, so I threw them across the room... repeat, repeat, repeat for about thirty minutes. I was then wide awake and Socks wanted to snooze.

Fortune quickly learned this game from watching Socks. That took about four minutes. Fortune is the who will grab something and then run away with it, unless the something is a string of beads.

So, one is not clear on the concept?

Yep. Considering Maverick used to chase the tennis ball, grab the tennis ball, bring the tennis ball to us and then growl, bark and nip to defend the tennis ball, the running away doesn't seem that bad.

Who on here

Planet Of The Ood

I like that episode.

Yes it's a good one!

The Wasp and The Unicorn was very good, also.

Hmm they didn't mention the name of next weeks episode...does look good though.

According to the episode guide on the BBC site http://www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/s4/episodes/ The planet of the ood is episode 3. The Wasp and The Unicorn is episode 7. If you are not getting them in order, it's the one with Agatha Christie.

I saw "Igor" the other day. He was busy creating a monster.

If it was a cleaning , I'd like to order one.

I'd probably want two, possibly three...let's face it, they're already s. Would you want to risk overworking one? With 3 I figure they could clean in shifts.

I hadn't thought of that. But now that you mention it, that could work.

Must be that Sat. night frame of mind...more likely my rather dreadful performance in that area(housecleaning).

I wish the would do the housework while I was at work. So far, they only do a bit of shelf clearing (by knocking everything onto the floor). A friend suggested teaching the tuxedo cats to mix s and meet me at the door. I'd be happy if with a . No luck with that yet.

*sigh* One can always dream...I wouldn't hold my breath though. Changing topics hun, I've been watching all sorts of things(even a cycle tour through a portion of London-London Landscape TV)on http://www.getmiro.com ...it's an open source TV & video player. Some great meditation background, cooking shows, travel shows-found I think 125 episodes of Rick Steve's Europe from PBS-current events programs, etc.
