there’s a second mode too which is the long term stalk. it’s the one cats do when waiting in front of a mouse hole for a few hours. it involves the cat sitting down in a straight line pointed towards where it saw the ‘food’ disappear, all feet pointed forward, and while looking relaxed definitely paying attention towards the hole.

i mention this cause loki recently took up stalking his automatic food dispenser. starting around 6:30 he’ll sit down in front of it and stare quietly, taking breaks every now and then, but inevitably returning to wait.

eh, beats begging me.

i also figured out a way to stream my sound card to my guitar. i haven’t found a use for this yet but i’m pretty that when i do it’ll be brilliant.
