Just back from Target - they had some things on sale.  :-DD
I told my friends I could teach them to be funny, but they all just laughed at me.

Yep!!  There's something about the 'rustling' sound of a plastic bag, that's more powerful than Catnip!! And they just
HAVE to get in them!! Then it's the big eyes when they  spy you...  You then regret 'fingering' the bottom of the bag,
and find claws sunk in about .01 Sec later, and a few obscenities that the 'missus' hears, before she laughs!!   :-DD

P.S.  Do you know that when cats do the "walking in circles" thing, before settling, stems from their built-in programming
to circle, to flatten 'grass' before they settle down !!   :phew:

My 'Missus' does not have a high opinion of this RagDoll...  He NEVER attempts to bury his Poop, as if to say that
he will NOT get his 'Royal-Paws' dirty, so 'YOU' deal with it... and it is ALWAYS messy!!!   :palm: :scared:

Usually, at about 3-am we sense him walking above our heads in bed, trying to find somewhere to settle...
(Before he at least decides to wash his backside with his tongue!)... Around this time, we sense the permeating molecules
that have all but striped the paint off the walls throughout the house, and there is absolutely NO further sleeping until I stagger
to the other end of the house while holding my breath, and BURY it!!! Then we use one of 3 sprays on the way back to the bedroom.

We LOVE our cats... BUT!......   :box:

May be you should look at his diet. I noticed when my cat has stomach problems she does not bury her messy stuff. Otherwise she always does.

Here's the "visiting" cat, I've been working with for ~3 years now. He isn't afraid of me anymore but still doesn't want to be petted or get any closer. My present cat Maxim will go to the screen door and watch him up close - they don't fight.

I just fed him a big can of food now he's taking a nap.
I told my friends I could teach them to be funny, but they all just laughed at me.

Cats love hollow-state electronics. So warm and cozy.

Not BTX, no. There was a version of this device that could do Teletex, a rather short-lived kind of glorified telex with an extended ASCII character set. But that was not its main function.

The keyboard on the top looks to me like an IBM PC Jr. chiclet style keyboard. But the monitor doesn't match what came with the Jr. Plus IBM didn't release that until 1984, after the photo was taken.

No IBM PC.

I don't have a photo of the whole works, but that thing had, to the right of the screen, two 5 1/4" floppy drives of 80 KB each, inside were a TMS9900 16 bit processor, a whopping 128 KB of RAM and interfaces for printer and keyboard. Meet the Bitsy word processor by German company Triumph-Adler. Cost around 15,000 deutschmarks at the time - the equivalent of a decent family car.

Can't figure how the cat and everything is slightly fuzzy but the image on the screen is pin-sharp. No-one would think of photoshopping that, would they?

Our Zenobe throws himself on his back when he wants to be fed. No idea who taught him this as we got him when he was a mere 9 weeks old.
