<completely missing the point> Scientists have documented about 1.2 million animal species, but this is only a small fraction of the total number of species out there; a brief search brought up the estimate 8.7 million a few times, but I also saw an estimate as high as 50 million. Of course, this includes aquatic animals, which they didn't take on the big boat, but they did have at least two members of every animal species they took, so I think it's safe to say there were at least a few million animals on the boat. ...By the way, you forgot the guy the boat was named after. </completely missing the point>

I can safely assume that Explorer the Cat is over running around the house as she has taken her "I'm taking a long rest or maybe a nap" position on top of the bookcase. Assuming she doesn't want to bother The Human on the computer desk, once she gets on that box on the bookcase, she stays there for quite a while. Like until she or The Human decide to go back to the bed room to read in bed.

I just tried that. She looked at me like I was crazed.

Bad puns aside, normally she respects a firmly said "Stop that" if she's doing something that I want her to stop. Granted that doesn't happen very often and it's normally because she has gotten more physical in her play with me than I want at the time. Of she's started using claws in her play, where "Ouch" may be used as part of the instructions to stop doing something.

Explorer the Cat is being extra zippy this morning. I was able to get this shot when she took a 30 second break from running around.

I saw it and I did grant her access. I don't post quite as many to Facebook as I do here, but I do post at least daily.

Mrs. Prof put in a Facebook friend request so that she can follow the chronicles of EtC. I hope you'll grant her access.

Yeah she does, She hangs out with me in the living room until about noon, when she wants me to start reading in bed so she can hang out either on my chest, next to me or on my knees for the rest of the day and most of the night.

As soon as I got back in bed she stretched, then came up to lay down on my chest in between me and the computer on my lap. She really was trying to get me back in bed.

Looney, I hate to tell you this, but you have a defective cat. Knocking things off edges is what cats are for.
