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 http://www.bbc.co.uk/science/humanbo...n_version5.swf |

I got to be a Rocketing Rabbit and will try it again in the morning to see if time of day makes a difference. Tonight, I was overcome by laughter as I realized that, despite being more tired than I've almost ever been, I was in a dark room shooting darts at animated sheep... over and over and over again.

AHHHHHHHHH.... Susan M Going to bed with ... Otis and Chester \ 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 Bridget |

(They're fast, and I'm not). When I had the door open a crack to get rid of a magazine vendor, last winter, I discovered a security chain leaves enough room for a determined cat to slip through, unseen. Witness the fact Melisande spent a cold night outdoors because I didn't see her go, and she wouldn't come when called! |

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! Can I plead a slow computer?
