the BF sent this to me and I had to share.

i feel a bit confused, as i've known a few of these things to mean one thing, but now they mean another. in a weird way, they make perfect sense, so clearly i was wrong. 

I hope this gives insight for some and helps someone to better deal with their kitty and their kitty needs <3

interested to see some of the members feedback on this...

enjoy!

@Lamiatron,  Thanks for that link and this thread!  
I cannot stop laughing.  I especially like #14..."creepstalking the ex"  and #13 chirping at birds...."how did you not realize you bought a bird.  you dummy."  lol   


But all of them are great, baking classes , world ending, cello playing...lol

You just made my day!  lol.  (and still I am "shocked".
    
  ..lol)

   Nice one @Lamiatron.  Very enlightening!   I think possibly a little more research is needed on the sleeping in perfect circle world ending theory though - given the other explanations I think it could be the position used for that time travel stuff they do...  I must watch Mouse a little more closely next time I see him curl up, and check out if it fits with when I've apparently lost track of time on TCS....

@Lamiatron  . Which ones were your favourites?  Just shocking. lol.
i knew from day one that both of my cats were brids...so that's a given.

i also knew they were seeing demons when they zone out...so that was not a surprise for me either. that's why i always leave the room when i see them zone out.

i just feel bad that i wasn't able to pick up on what they really meant when they were kneading my blanket :(

350 is a small price to pay for my kitty's happiness <3

plus, unlimited cookies and bread woop!

Expensive, but I gotta keep him happy too.
 

"unlimited cookies and bread woop"
  LOL....LOL...LOL  I really want some now.


Can you get your cats to fed-ex me a package??(oh, I forgot, they are really birds, (I am such a dummy), so they could fly up here whenever they want. )

I forgot the time travel.  So, yes, I will be waiting for those cookies, to go with my coffee.


You have to thank your BF for sending you that email, sounds like he has a good sense of humour, too.

Make sure he keeps his eyes "open" for any more signs.
  LOL.

You "complimented" Jet last night???
......LOL....I have never and will never do that with Spotty.  LOL..

He has a huge ego already.  And is so clean, too, hence the cello lessons....lol.

I have to stop, my ribs are hurting...LOL...

lol. i had to! she needs to be praised when her lazy self actually grooms her bum properly. 

she's a bit lazy in the bum cleaning department. LOLLLL i mean, i always look to make sure she cleaned it! but yea. i let her know! i usually just praise her if i catch her cleaning herself, but never after the fact....but she seemed to like it when i did.. she backed up on me and put her bum in my face

-___-

if only kitties could really bake cookies. i think everyone would be happy and there would be no wars...maybe i'm just reaching. 

he's always sending me stuff thats funny and cat related. i'll make sure to post when he send me similar stuff! haha

LOL....I get that praise thing.   It is a very good idea, because it reinforces the fact that is a good thing and that it makes mom happy.  I guess she looks to you as her real mom, so that's a good thing, too.

My rainbow cat Sparky, was like your Jet, in that he was so much more lazier than 14 yr old Spotty, except when it came to covering his poop, in his box.  Then it looked like he was constructing a golf course or something.  He would dig, change his mind, dig some more. go number one, cover it.  And then go to Spotty's box and make sure he covered his as well.

But after eating, he would not spend as long in face washing.  He was handsome and gentle, and his coat did look clean, but I could not always see when he would be cleaning it.  

The backing-up with the butt ....lol...Spotty does that all the time now.  And I would much rather get head butts than the back end.

Cookies instead of wars....I like that.  And cats to do the baking....even better.  Yes, I would be happy....lol.

see u around the Site.

But you ate the cookies already, well in that other time, or maybe in this one, hard to tell, sometimes they are the same, sometimes looking really far is the past, so somewhere one looked already to past, which is the future, confusing.

Time itself is really confusing, speed and mass affects time, if thought has no mass and travels at speed of light, then thought can travel to future, but if thought has mass it can't reach speed of light, but something less, to travel in time thought should travel really long distance, so one must be careful when thinking to do or not to do as then it might be that one enter the future, like cats, they don't stare they are just bored to current time and are thinking really hard if they should time jump or not and thus they are accidentally time jumping as their thoughts were travelling too long distance while running in circle :D

Hmm, I wonder if this time travel can happen when we are thinking very fast but physically moving slowly or not at all:  this would explain how I seem to loose time when I am on TCS! 


I am pleased to say Mouse does not run in circles so when he is staring in to space he is probably just planning his next act of mischief rather than being in another time zone.

@JTbo     Are you saying I already ate the cookies in the PAST, or in the Future??

Because I am still hungry, right now....LOL....So I need Lamiatron's cats to make a NEW batch of cookies, and send them to me ASAP (As Soon As Possible)...lol

LOL....I am actually understanding some of your logic, and its making sense.  But I am not sure I want MY CAT to time JUMP, because I just "finished paying for his cello lessons" and he better start practicing.  lol.

So If I am "bored to current time" , would I also be able to "time jump". (But I do not want to run in circles like my cat)   lol.

  And what time is it in Finland??  Since I never catch you online anymore...lol.

LOL....@MServant     The "physically moving slowly or not at all".....would EXPLAIN how I loose time on TCS AND in other areas of my life.   Its all a blur...now.....lol.


I definitely think you ARE on to the real "Truth" here.   But do we share it with others, since the cats already know this, and might get us back.

If you don't SEE Mouse "run in circles"....can you really be sure he does not?

You, know, like the old saying...."if a tree falls in the forest, does it make a sound, because no one is around to hear it?"

Mouse may very well be time travelling, too, but your mind is"thinking too fast, and you are moving too slow"....to catch him.

 Also, you love him so much, that even the thought of him in another time zone, is difficult.  
  LOL.

You just cannot accept the "truth" about cats, maybe its for the best.  (Mouse knows, but he may be from another planet, too, so he won't exactly tell you)

Scary thought in deed @cat nap. 
   I'm fairly confident Mouse doesn't travel in time, or if he does it's not too often: he'd be sure to look for food where ever he was and the telling sign would be a large pot belly from all the extra biscuits he's pack in! 
  He hasn't demanded any of these expensive lessons and stuff that @Lamiatron has experienced so I'm quite lucky compared to others here I think.  As for his being an alien, reckon that's pretty likely. LoL

Okay, then, I will keep an eye out on Spotty's waistline, just in case.  lol.

I still need those cookies, now, not yesterday, and not tomorrow. 

 I think I have to go and track @JTbo down, for some more explanations.

Physical time zone is +3 hours from Mouse's physical time zone, but we must understand that as thoughts have no mass and as they travel at speed of light, our thoughts might be actually just thoughts from past, that have time travelled to future, or if we create a thought from nothingness here and now, our thought will travel to future, this explains how sometimes thought can vanish as we get stuck in current time and thought will shift to future like if no time would have passed at all for thought, sometimes thought realizes this error and comes back immediately but for us time has already passed and we find thought only later, sometimes it might take days at least for me :D

Faster you go, slower time passes for you and faster things around you, might explain why travelling by train is so boring and destination seems never arriving, but when you get to destination you find lot more time has passed than should of...

Here is explanation of time:
[video][/video]

It seems to be now 9.40 a.m as of 23.3.2014, so does it mean that I'm from the future? :D
