It seems kind of weird now but when I was a kid a lot of people I knew had dogs and cats that lived most of their lives outside. The summer nights used to be filled with barking dogs. The barks would travel through the neighborhood like some sort of giant pinball game as the barking was transferred from one house to the next. I guess nowadays they are more family members instead of pets and get to come inside.
I see his miracle-chair even has an optional “Kitty Cannon”-mount. Is there anything it can’t do?
The Duck Has Spoken.
Hey, is there some kind of theme going on for this week?
Hope that cat has a suit on…and a little bag of space milk. It also looks like that even on the Moon, Biff still has the convenience of his swiss army chair. But wait, once in orbit, how will he get the cat back down? This is my first time leaving a comment here. Woo!
The “Kitty Cannon”-mount can come in handy in about every imaginable office. Well, if you can mount a “Mail Cannon” extension on it.
I think the 21st level from the top is the automatic paperclipfolder. If you have unfolded one, it gets folded back again.
And we have tons of cats in the neighborhood that stay outside at night.
I think it has less to do with them being pets vs. family members and more to do with the fact that there’s simply more psychotic people out there who’d feed your dog antifreeze or torture your cat just because it’s “funny”. I don’t let *ANY* of my animals outside unsupervised, even in a fenced yard, and all my cats are indoors-only, unless they’re on a harness and leash.
That chair gets around.
Our cats go out unsupervised during the day, but we don’t let them outside after dark. We had a couple disappear one night (coyotes, most likely) and don’t want a repeat of that.
Now, if they’re in orbit, they should be safe from coyotes, but how do they come down when it’s daytime?
In regard as to how they’d come back down… timer-activated retro-rockets would be my guess.
How to recover your cat from orbit? Well, in a mico-atmosphere environment like on the moon, all you’d need to do is fire the kitty into an orbit with a perigee of about five feet. Then all you’d need is a catcher’s mitt.
The Chair of Insanity goes everywhere!
ERgh. No coffee yet… “MICRO-atmosphere”
Arguably, if there is any kind of atmosphere at all and you use exactly the right amount of force, the friction can cause a slowly degrading orbit that deposits your pet on the ground in the morning. Of course, your planetary body needs to have a low enough gravity, too… having your pet land at 2.4 km/s is usually not very good for it.
I wonder what Biff’s high score is at kitten cannon? I’m sure in space it beats all conceivable ones, but still. Just curious about the distance nonetheless
Biff’s super chair!
Last night, I kid you not, I had a dream about Biff… That’s dedication, there…
i hate cats when they cuddle up with me at night because i am allergic
to cats plus i know a few cats the cats names are rosie & tidbit & traveler:(
There are currently three cats where I am staying… Tokyo is pretty much an outside kitty, although she mostly hangs out on the roof and where ever Porcupine or I go, Porcupine, well, her nickname was Pet the Destroyer, and she got into trouble for having the downstairs neighbor’s little dog in her jaws once. That puzzled her. She has recently been out hunting birds (in 3D)to show up the third Maine Coon Cat that was once a sorta stray, but now has decided my lap is her home. If the Maine Coon kitty doesn’t get to go out, she will curl up on me while I try to sleep and sharp her feet in me because she is happy.
Good thing cats are not real pets
The problem, Doctor Why, is that aero-braking in Luna’s mirco-atmosphere could take years or even decades, depending on the particular orbit chosen…
BTW: An alternative to the catcher’s mitt? A tennis racket!
getting the cat out of orbit? If it’s invulnerable like biff, I don’t think a 2.4km/s reentry would actually hurt that much.
If it’s not invulnerable, a very large bedsheet would probably work
That is Barknet [tm] and is a means of communicating over long distances by using manual sound relay. It improved in the late 80s to 90s and was called Fidonet [tm] with a knockoff called RelayNet or RIME [tm] both of which used phone lines in a way to bypass long distance fees. These died a horrible death with the advent of the Internet so most users when back to howling in the dark.
I can only think of one thing looking at this. and it is this. http://www.addictinggames.com/kittencannon.html
I still wonder how it got the “cute” label…
The Chair… IN SPACE!
The issue is not how to get the Kitty out of orbit, but why the Kitty needs to be in orbit.
“Biff decides that the earth needs a large crater.”
“Biff learns that Space Bandits don’t like being shot at.”
“Biff’s sattilite need to be launched.”
“Biff finds shooting things is more fun with his office chair.”
All three of our cats are indoors. My mother let our youngest, Fox, walk on the patio. She tried making a break for the wild, but we caught her just in time. My mother wants to put them in harnesses and walk them around the yard.
Been playing Kitten Cannon a lot, eh?
1) This page made me laugh out loud!
2) I love the fact that Biff is sitting in his office chair!
3)For some reason, I imagine there to be a rainbow trailing behind this cat as he flies through orbit.
