Cat's Cradle

[blamebrampton]

I realised why the childhood string game is called cat's cradle today.

Last night Cookie was prancing about with a ball of perle cotton in her mouth, feeling very proud of herself for finding such a treasure.

This evening, when I arrived home, there was a network of threads strung about the living room, around pieces of furniture, through the cat tunnel (in three separate passes), and out into the kitchen. In the middle of the mess were two kitties happily chewing on the threads. I don't think I want to weave anything with that thread anymore ... kitty saliva is a bit manky.

In other kitty news, I have worked out how to podcast! So far all of my test pieces end after a few minutes with "Oof! Monster! You cannot eat the headset, and get off my diaphragm!"
"Mroaw?"
"There are no cats in Sansa's fic!"
"MROAWWWW?"
"You are no help."

I really am! It's good fun, though I fear for my sanity trying to record without interruption from J or cats. If it ends up with train noises in the background, you will know I am outside in the garden ...

I can only imagine how daunting it must be. I talked to one man about it. He doesn't interrupt his recordings. He simply pauses a few seconds whenever he's interrupted or makes a mistake, then splices that part out later. *shrug* I'll admit I know nothing about the process, but should it ever work out that you do read one of my stories, I'd consider myself one of the luckiest people around.

Give me another week or two and you can feel quite chuffed.

That a deranged person who sounds like a 12-year-old has decided to make a cast of one of your fics with unexpected kitty sound effects.
