Guidelines for Cats.

[thebitterguy]

If you have to throw up, get to a chair quickly. If you cannot manage in time, get to an Oriental rug. If there is no Oriental rug, shag is good. When throwing up on the carpet, make sure you back up so that it is as long as the human's bare foot.

Among many others. It explains a lot.

this is my cata to a "T"

"Walking:
As often as possible, dart quickly and as close as possible in front of the human, especially on stairs, when they have something in their arms, in the dark, and when they first get up in the morning. This will help their coordination skills."

A cat must have written those!

My mother's cat has been known to dart out of a bedroom or away from a carpeted area when he has to throw up. He'll scratch frantically at the bedroom door, and when he's let out he runs for the bathroom linoleum.

But we've always suspected that he's really a dog.

This also holds true for dogs with Step 1 being the carpet rather than the chair. My dog would also add that carpets, preferably the softest, most luxurious ones, are great for wiping ones snout upon after eating.

So true.
Thanks for sharing, will add to memories as rest of the article looks too good to pass up.

Until I re-read your subject line, I thought you were commenting on guests at your last Halo party.

ZOMG! TEARRORISTS!

[thebitterguy]

It's the cooking one that makes me nod my head sagely; just behind the left heel.

[thebitterguy]

Our youngest cat one time walked from the hall, which is wood, into the carpetted office and then yakked up a terrifyingly large amount of food in a straight line. Almost exactly a foot's worth.

[thebitterguy]

Halo parties are hardly that sort of bacchanal.

[thebitterguy]

Ayep. I assume with its nose.

[thebitterguy]

Yeah, thankfully (?) our cats prefer to disgorge as close to the ground as possible, so we never find any messes on the seats.

[elizard100.livejournal.com]

or spelling it all out in the sandbox.

and this is the "litteral" translation. :)

Is it too early to volunteer for Trek panels?

[thebitterguy]

I knew you'd like it. And that is an awesome icon.

[elizard100.livejournal.com]

Volunteer or panelist signup? Panelist signup is supposed to be starting next week. If you have panel suggestions right now, you can email them in to programming@tcon.ca

[thebitterguy]

Hmm. There don't appear to be comics or gaming tracks this year.

Is there anyone in charge of running gaming this year?
