The discussion revolves around various activities participants engaged in during a downtime of Physics Forums (PF). One user baked multiple batches of cookies, including Tollhouse chocolate chip and snickerdoodles, humorously attributing potential weight gain to PF's downtime. Others shared experiences of being productive at home, such as repotting plants and attending local events like a Celtic Festival, where they enjoyed music and food without drinking alcohol due to driving responsibilities.The conversation shifted to social interactions and the impact of PF being down, with some expressing boredom and others finding creative outlets, like adopting a kitten named Ember. Ember's adoption sparked excitement, with users sharing their fondness for calico cats and discussing their personalities. The kitten's adjustment to her new home and playful behavior became a focal point, showcasing the joy pets bring to their owners.Additionally, there were mentions of NASA's upcoming shuttle launch, a recommendation to support PF through subscriptions, and light-hearted banter about the challenges of keeping pets off counters and tables.

Oh, good heavens! I thought we taped that thing down!
You can't keep me taped down!
Oh yeah, they've tried, but... :rolleyes:

Me, or the cord?

Just forget about that, "they've tried" part... :blushing:

I assume that those are genuine Disney cuffs and straps?

EE-yow! I'm guessing those didn't come from the Disney store!
(edit: ha ha - warped minds think alike Ivan!)

yeah, sure. I am spending Fall quarter working on psych research projects so restraints might come in handy. some people get a little skittish the first time you shock 'em. :biggrin:

P.S. and I'm not telling where those came from either!

But, she's definitely smart. I only had to tell her "No" twice before she learned what it meant, and she hasn't attempted any more jumps onto the coffee table (I want her to learn that tables and kitchen counters are off limits, but she's allowed on couches and beds...I think I'm just going to make all things with hard surfaces off limits though, so it will seem somewhat consistent to her what she can and can't jump on, so bathroom counters and desks will be off-limits too, even though I don't care so much about that.)
Both of our cats are trained to stay off all counters and tables whenever a human is in the room. Actually, if there's almost never anything interesting left on the tables or counters, I think the cats might almost never get up there. And if one them does get up there once in a while, I'm pretty sure it's only so they can keep a better eye on the other one, just to make sure the other cat isn't doing something it's not supposed to.

Pleh! How long did it take to get the fur off your tongue?
Really! There is only one way to give a cat a proper bath, and I have a sensitive gag-reflex that prevents me from being a proper cat-parent.
