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

As a newbie to the h2g2 I am a little uncertain as to what information is relevant about me or my human, Sue. She is fairly useful, average in most everything but generally a pretty good pet.

She lives in Wisconsin, US, in the middle of nowhere with me, Hermi the Cat, and Baloo, a very annoying old cat that thinks that she is his pet also, and Gordy her human husband and my other pet. (He's not nearly as obedient as Sue.)

I am a gorgeous tan/black spotted tabby in the prime of my life. My humans say that I have more beauty than brains but I just want them to think that so they expect less of me.

My humans are Christians but, hopefully, of the less obnoxious variety - at least I think they try to be. They enjoy gardening and generally grow a good supply of catnip for me. It gets a little sparse in the winters but that just makes the spring buzz all the better. They also are builders - of buildings - and other things when given opportunity.

I welcome any feedback you can give me about h2g2. I loved the books and was thrilled to find the site. I haven't read enough to know much of anything yet but what I've found so far has been fun and interesting.

Thank you for looking at my space Hermi.

As an aside.

I am not sure that there is ever any point in talking to a cat. Whenever I talk to a cat, either I get the impression that they already know what I am about to say - or they simply are very bored and aren't listening.

However, I still do it. Maybe I am vain and believe that this time what I have to say will be revelatory the cat who will stop and listen, then go off (maybe even without acknowlegement - I mustn't expect to much) thinking, "What a new thought."

Hey PT ("Hey" in US Northern speak is "Hi.")

This cat has been listening to a lot of what you're saying and thinking, "Hmmm." Very interesting. I do not have much to say in intelligent response. Definitely not bored.

Cats practice long and hard in front of the mirror to perfect that precise blend of detached observation. That way when the "Duh.." moment arrives, as it so frequently does, it isn't obvious to the speaker that the cat doesn't begin to comprehend -- Just like when we do something exceedingly clumsy, we preen.

You can assume that a cat always enjoys being talked to. When they tire they just leave the room for a bit.
