Dear Spike,

I believe we've already established that the "race around the room without touching the floor" game is on the List Of Things Spike Is Not Allowed To Do. Stop it.

Love,

Your Mum.

Dear Kittens,

THAT GOES DOUBLE FOR YOU.

Love,

Not Your Bloody Launching Pad.

p.s. that fucking HURT.


Took out the dead hard drive, kicked it, froze it and put it back in. Still. Dead. Ah well.

I am trying so hard not to laugh, no really, I am!

Aww, lol. Cats don't slow down much as they get older! Our cat who is about 7-8 still gamboles around the floor attacking imaginary objects, crazy little thing she is.

Back in the day when we lived in a humpty bedsitter/flat in Turnpike Lane, Tigger used to do his "wall of death" impression every night at 8pm.
We were also the only family in North London who had brown velvet LACE curtains, after he decided they were the best thing to climb up ever...

8pm is the hour of scampering here too... evidently cats have a particular rhythm for these things. Maybe that's when the signals from the mother ship come through most strongly.

They've done a certain amount of damage to my bamboo blinds here - I can live with that, and I can live with them knocking stuff on the floor, but last night Shona and Callette were jumping onto my back from the back of my chair and then leaping to the dog couch from there, and they can't do that without digging claws in. OW OW OW!

It must be 8 pm all over the world, then...my cats are the same...:D

That jumping to a person's body, then jumping to where they actually WANT to be...where does that come from, I wonder? It's not like they have no other route to take...sigh...Julius and Giddy still use me for a trampoline...my stomach is soooo bruised.

Julius jumps up to the back of my chair when I'm at the computer...then, to make sure he's got a good hold on my shoulders, digs in...yes I do know that word...OW! OW! OW!

I use it often...:D

Ha, yes, that's exactly what Callette and Shona were doing. I've pretty much impressed on them that my legs aren't an alternate scratching post... now this. Kittens SUCK.

...froze it?

[lizblackdog.livejournal.com]

Yeah. Sometimes a couple of hours in the freezer can unstick a sticking hard drive. It didn't unstick mine, but it has been known to help. I have no idea why.

[santaman.livejournal.com]

Since you use your computer everyday its kinda impossible for your drive to have developed drive stick because drive stick is when the heads of the harddrive are stuck on the service of the platters, that only can get that way after a long time of inaction.

[lizblackdog.livejournal.com]

that makes sense! ah well. I figured I had nothing left to lose by trying...

[cottonmanifesto.livejournal.com]

ugh - i hate when they launch off you - OOF.

It's more ooof-y when a dog does it, but at least Spike doesn't have razor sharp bloody CLAWS! Aaaargh!!
