Alright! 2394 feet of cat travel. Previous best was 2031. Still can't load the damned 'scores' page.

Heh. Just saw this thread, and I guess I should chime in and say that I played Kitten Cannon all summer at work last year. My best was somewhere above 1700. I recommended it to a friend, but she has 2 cats and she thought I was a terrible person. :frown:

Good job Moonbear Superior, we will be there within the hour. If we sneak up quietly, we might catch him in his skivies. :cool:

Must be...an hour seems like an awfully long trip for the supersonic RV...with a guy driving, we'd be going in circles for hours and he'd refuse to ask for directions. With leadfoot Tsu at the wheel, we'd be there in about 15 minutes. :biggrin: :devil:

It won't matter if you're already dead. :biggrin:

Oh, wait, MIH, once you get him in your sights, if he's cute, don't shoot! We'll just tie him up and toss him in the RV and figure out something else to do with him. :devil:

Fine, then. I won't shoot to kill. If I aim for the ankle it should just hobble him so he can't run. :devil:

I loved Hypatia's idea, but yours was good, too, Moonie. He deserves to be stuffed and mounted. Or vice versa. We'll see how he looks.

You just had to drag me into this didn't you. I'm going to stuff you into a cannon and find out how far you fly!

"Oh, wait, MIH, once you get him in your sights, if he's cute, don't shoot! "

He won't be so cute after I launch him across the Hudson river :devil:
