Bob discusses the merits of nighttime hunting

Good evening Bob here from Cat Network News reporting from our documentary suite on the relative merits of night time hunting vrs the full frontal approach of the daytime snatch and grab.

Over the last few month Lizzy and I have been experimenting with what we describe as the all-day snooze , the early evening "schmooze" (resulting in food and hugs) , the all night prowl followed lastly by the early morning "shmooze".

Using a double blind , Gantt charted, critical path, cost controlled , standard deviation, marginalised sampling technique we have constructed a polynomial logarithmic equation which computes the body mass index in mice divided by the energy expenditure by cats required for the optimum filling of the inner food gathering and collecting receptacle in feline mammals. This has been further optimised using day lengths, time of year and the little known puke to eating ratio.
Obviously we can't go into full details here as this will be the subject of my Doctorial thesis but suffice to say move over Einstein there are some new formula’s on the block!
For a start and not withstanding the theory of relativity it is possible for cats to be in two places at once , otherwise how on earth could you explain that shredded rug done by “some other cat”?
Sorry I digress, the result of our experimentation which included Lizzy examining the baby fish in the pond at very close range was that on balance, taking all things into account, weighing up the pros and the cons , the fores and the againsts, the advantages and the disadvantages , the views of the “Save the mouse” Society and the need to not have the corner chewed out of every packet of food in the cupboard….. nighttime is the better time .
Or put simply E=MC2 where Evening =Mice X Cats Squared or put another way Evening divided by cats squared =mice , are you still with me ? (Chris says he’s calling the vet …..) and finally cats squared =mice divided by evening.
I rest my case.
I feel sick.

Thursday, February 24


Good afternoon , let me introduce myself I'm Sandicat from Inglewood , Taranaki, New Zealand .
I'll be joining the team at Cat Network News and reporting periodically from Inglewood .
I'm nine years old and am a rescue cat from the local vet .
I have, on a whim just recently decided not to savage strangers or even not so strangers .
I let Chris pat me over the weekend , he must have forgotten our last "encounter" , owwwwwwwwww I wanted to rip his arm off but I thought, we'll let it go this time .
And Hey what do you know I get a pencil and I'm a reporter, I see the possibilities now , why did somebody not explain this sooner ?
I must discuss obvious gaps in my early instructions with the other cat in the house , Leo, he's a lot bigger than me, has a lead and gets to go in the car. Apparently, well according to him he's a Golden Retriever Cat .Posted by Hello

Bob and Lizzy are 1

. .

Hi Bob here for the birthday channel, well things are going well on our birthday with catches of two mice and something unspeakable delivered to the bed room at 1.30 am , 2.30 am and 3.45 am . It's really hot so we assumed nobody really wanted to sleep anyway .

Breakfast consisted of our beloved "Kitten" biscuit's , hey so what if the protein level will explode our livers that's only a rumor put about by those tree hugging free range greenies .

Looking forward to a day relaxing

Bob
(Happy birthday to me)
