Mr. Boo-Boo Kitty
=================
Greetings, humon! I am Mr. Boo-Boo Kitty. My humon friends are allowed to
call me "Boo-Boo" for short. If you say my full name, you have to bow twice
and remove your shoes.

My Tummy
--------
Check out the cool shaving stripe on my tummy. I went in for an ultrasound
over the summer so they could check on my heart. Luckily my subspace
transmitter didn't interfere with the equipment.

I made a deal with my humon friends that I would get to eat {Fancy Feast}
twice a day with my Diltiazem and Atenelol heart pills.
Games
-----
I am pretty good at "hide and seek":
~| </temp/boo-boo/36D2EBC4.jpg </temp/boo-boo/36D2EBC4-t.jpg>>¬{Now you see me...}
~| </temp/boo-boo/36D2EBE4.jpg </temp/boo-boo/36D2EBE4-t.jpg>>¬{...now you don't!}
and {very} good at pretending to look cute for food while, in actuality,
simply applying an old feline mind trick:
~| </temp/boo-boo/37DA6FB4.jpg </temp/boo-boo/37DA6FB4-t.jpg>>¬{You will...}
~| </temp/boo-boo/36D2EC82.jpg </temp/boo-boo/36D2EC82-t.jpg>>¬{...give me...}
~| </temp/boo-boo/37DA6F06.jpg </temp/boo-boo/37DA6F06-t.jpg>>¬{...food now.}
Levitation
----------
I have recently begun practicing the ancient feline technique of levitation.
Not myself, mind you-that's something far beyond my grasp at the moment-but I
{have} learned to levitate small pieces of food. With a {properly positioned
paw} and the right frame of mind, it's really not as difficult as it looks.
This is me after my first two weeks of intense study:
~^| </temp/boo-boo/38271BF6.jpg </temp/boo-boo/38271BF6-t.jpg>>¬{Rise up, Fooden...}
~^| </temp/boo-boo/38271D78.jpg </temp/boo-boo/38271D78-t.jpg>>¬{No, stay!}
More difficult, of course, is to control the path of the object using only
one's mind-no paws. I am quite pleased with the progress I have made since
then. This is me {willing} the food to rise:
~^| </temp/boo-boo/38271DFC.jpg </temp/boo-boo/38271DFC-t.jpg>>¬{Rise up, Fooden...}
~^| </temp/boo-boo/38271CE6.jpg </temp/boo-boo/38271CE6-t.jpg>>¬{...higher...}
~^| </temp/boo-boo/38271CBA.jpg </temp/boo-boo/38271CBA-t.jpg>>¬{...higher!}
But when those pictures were taken, I hadn't quite yet mastered the ability
to will the food all the way into my mouth; lateral control of objects is much
more difficult than vertical control. While I was still learning, I had to
"cheat" and I use my paws to grab the food as it floated up.
But I quickly discovered that if I lunged forward too quickly, I lost my
concentration-and the food!
~^| </temp/boo-boo/38271BC2.jpg </temp/boo-boo/38271BC2-t.jpg>>¬{Gotcha...}
~^| </temp/boo-boo/38271D10.jpg </temp/boo-boo/38271D10-t.jpg>>¬{...damn.}
Practice makes perfect. After another few days, I was able to hold a piece of
food directly in front of me for as long as I wanted. Here I am in a feline
zen levitation trance, concentrating my powers. I held that position for
seven hours. Then I took a nap for three days.
~^| </temp/boo-boo/3827684C.jpg </temp/boo-boo/3827684C-t.jpg>>¬{Stay. Stay. Stay. Stay.}
The next challenge was mastering paw-eye-mind coordination. It seemed that
no matter how slowly I reached out to grab the food, it still wobbled out of
control.
~^| </temp/boo-boo/3827679C.jpg </temp/boo-boo/3827679C-t.jpg>>¬{Gotcha!}
~^| </temp/boo-boo/38276778.jpg </temp/boo-boo/38276778-t.jpg>>¬{...damn.}
Finally after several more days of practice, I mastered the paw-eye-mind
coordination as well as the power to direct the food straight into my mouth
without lifting a finger:
~^| </temp/boo-boo/38276C1E.jpg </temp/boo-boo/38276C1E-t.jpg>>¬{Fooden, Fooden,...}
~^| </temp/boo-boo/38276BE8.jpg </temp/boo-boo/38276BE8-t.jpg>>¬{Come to Me...}
~^| </temp/boo-boo/38276C14.jpg </temp/boo-boo/38276C14-t.jpg>>¬{For I am...}
~^| </temp/boo-boo/38276AFA.jpg </temp/boo-boo/38276AFA-t.jpg>>¬{So hungry.}
~^| </temp/boo-boo/38276C0C.jpg </temp/boo-boo/38276C0C-t.jpg>>¬{I will eat You now.}
~^| </temp/boo-boo/38276A9A.jpg </temp/boo-boo/38276A9A-t.jpg>>¬{Gotcha!}
My next challenge is to levitate {myself}. This is a steep challenge, for it
is written that only the strongest minds can do this.
{I am strong, I am determined, and I {will} learn to fly.}
I am first focusing on levitating my upper body. Notice how gracefully my
arms float:
~^| </temp/boo-boo/382768D0.jpg </temp/boo-boo/382768D0-t.jpg>>¬{I...will...}
~^| </temp/boo-boo/382768A4.jpg </temp/boo-boo/382768A4-t.jpg>>¬{...float...}
~^| </temp/boo-boo/382768CA.jpg </temp/boo-boo/382768CA-t.jpg>>¬{...up.}
Writing Home
------------
Sometimes I write messages on the refrigerator. This is how I communicate
with the mothership.
~^| </temp/boo-boo/3763D312.jpg </temp/boo-boo/3763D312-t.jpg>>
~^| </temp/boo-boo/370656A0.jpg </temp/boo-boo/370656A0-t.jpg>>
And then I wait for the mothership to respond.
~^| </temp/boo-boo/36D2ECE6.jpg </temp/boo-boo/36D2ECE6-t.jpg>>
The Long Wait
-------------
The mothership is really far away, so it takes a long time to communicate.
I pass the time by sleeping...

(Sometimes I sleep with my eyes open, in case someone is getting food.)
My favorite "casual" photo
--------------------------
I took this picture myself, when no one was looking... {(shhh!)}
