I bet he does.

What other commands can you download directly into her brain beside the "return home" one?

All of my cats have chips, they're semi-ferals with a Houdini-esque ability to slip out of collars. Don't remember what it cost, but not much.

How many cats do you have, Sorus?

Four! They won't all pose together, but here's three of 'em:



Mara, Nimitz, Jherek. Off camera one is Nimue, who is Mara's sister - slightly lighter fur and no tail. Jherek is their half brother - same dad, different mum, and Nimitz is probably unrelated but from the same feral colony.

They're beautiful!

Thankya! They're my babies - at risk of derailing the thread - everyone is going to be showing off pics of their babies now - I do highly recommend microchipping. My cats are strictly indoor and if they got out (fates forfend) would not allow a stranger to touch them.

I wish I could program her. . . it's more like she's conditioned ME! She likes to sleep on my bed, but every morning at around 5 she decides that it is time to get up. She'll go to the door and meow, and paw at the door incessantly until I get up to let her out. She's gone 15-20 minutes (enough to eat, use the litter box, take a wild spin around the house--and just enough time for me to fall asleep again!), and then she comes to the door and demands to be let back in. She spends most of the night sleeping in her catbed (which I keep on the unused side of the bad, at the foot), but I guess she wants to suck up after she comes back in, so then she snuggles up next to my feet, or nestled into the back of my knees.

They are gorgeous, Sorus! What beautiful green eyes Jherek has!

does not smoke, drinks only water, sleeps most of the day and night (he is a hound.) likes to eat - a lot.

You cannot have a pet now without spaying/nuetering, shots, liscence and microchip. And sorry EL they are on the same level as humans, probably smarter-and they don't go out of their way to kill, like you.

I don't go out of my way to kill people. In fact, I go out of my way to not kill people every day when I drive my car.

And as to Otherkin, if you honestly believe you are a dragon, and you convince me of it, I have no recourse but to kill you, as you are a dangerous animal, not a person.

My kitty, Haley.

Heh, choosing the box over the chair - does any cat not make that choice, and why?

Awwww@the kitties!!

I still refer to my cat as my first baby.

I know what you mean.

I have never had a cat. Nor a dog. All my pets lived in terrariums or aquariums or cages. But they were all my babies too.

When I was in high school I kept fire newts. We had (and please try not to groan) Newton and Einstein initially. Newton kept trying to escape his aquarium, and one day succeeded. We never recovered the body. He was replaced with Mendeleev, and we added Curie. And then they all died off. I decided not to replace them.

I would like to have some again, someday.
